Story Board Write Up


Story Board

Bigger Is Better

The first frame starts of with a black screen. All of a sudden a light turns on and there is a chair in the middle of a dark room. On that chair there will be a fashion magazine. Then you hear someone walking into the room with heals and enters the frame (this women is a heavier women). She picks up the magazines and sits down. While she sits down she picks up the magazine and opens it. This women Flips threw the pages and sees the very skinny models. You can see on her face that she is not liking what she sees. She looks up at the camera and says “Fuck This” and throws the magazine at the camera. Frame Cuts. Its a black screen and the title shows up BIGGER IS BETTER.
The next scene you will have Amanda and Stephanie talking about there struggles for being heavier. We will also explain a little why we decided to do this documentary. We will show some images of us growing up as a kid while we talk as well.
Next scene we will see a women talking about her struggles as a women and what effects it had and has on her. There will be some images of this women's past. At the end of the scene there will be an image of her shown from a photo shoot she would have done with Stephanie.
Next scene there will be another person talking about being a heavier person in our society and how it effects her. Like how she sees herself, and how it makes her feel.
Next scene there will be a male take about how he feels about being heavier. We will be asking about his past and what people may have said to him to hurt him and what he felt. We will also be talking to him about certain measures he went threw to try and change his weight. As well since Stephanie will be doing a photo shoot of this person Amanda will be filming so we will be showing some video clips and a picture of him at the end of the scene.
The next scene we will have a average weighing person talk about when she was a heavier person and the struggles she went threw being heavier and while she was loosing the weight. We will be showing some pictures of this persons past and pictures from the present time, so people can see the difference.
The next scene we will have Amanda and Stephanie talk more about how they feel about being heavier and end the documentary on a high note, but with a clear message.
The last scene we will be showing the pictures of everyone in the video with music in the back ground.
Last frame will be credits

It Is kind of hard to tell you what each person will be say exactly and how the atmosphere will be different for everyone. We would like to capture some emotions and try to help our viewer understand what its like to be heavier, also to show what the media and what “normal” weighing people can say or do to hurt us.
Documentary will be 5 mins long about.
