Digital Story Script Outline

OVERVIEW: A combination of music, picture, and video. The aim of this presentation is to showcase the sense of family and community that accompanies the Axis Church, as seen specifically in the arrival of people and the departure of people on a typical Sunday service. I will highlight relationships between members and the interaction of the Axis Church pastor and members.

MUSIC: There will be no dialogue, just image and a background song running through the whole piece. The song is one that I wrote myself, called “Gathered/Scattered, which discusses the very thing I wish to portray: Christ-centered community.

TIMELINE:
0:00 - 0:20 (approx.): Appearing and disappearing still images of the Axis Church early in the morning a few hours before the congregation is to arrive [possible transitional text, reading “gathered”].

0:20 - 0:40 (approx.): Fast-motion “security camera-esque” footage of people starting to trickle in to the Axis Church building, capturing interaction and expression [if possible].

0:40 - 1:20 (approx.): Slow-motion close-up video and photography of friends, family, and children enjoying each others’ company. Really hoping to express the warmth and love in these scenes [possible transitional text, reading “scattered”].

1:20 - 1:40 (approx.): Another round of fast-motion footage, but this time it will show people starting to trickle out of the Axis building [if possible].

1:40 - 2:20 (approx.): Another round of slow-motion video and photography, here showing people leaving the building, talking with pastor Jeremy as he stands outside of the building waiting to greet each person.

2:20 - 2:40 (approx.): The same still images which were shown at the beginning of the short.

If the fast-motion footage cannot be obtained due to technological reasons or concerns by the church staff, then more slow-motion video and photography will be used.

I will have two Sundays, 4/17 and 4/21 to get the necessary shots.
