Documentary Subject: The Story of Making a Virtual Relationship a Real One

Logline:  The Story of Making a Virtual Relationship a Real One

Tagline:  From Role Play to Real Life 

Documentary 
Style: Realist / Formalist (shots inserted and used as audio for B reel)


Overall, the story of Jonah and Rachel is told, through the unfolding of their meeting through a virtual world, but as two very real people. Living in two different states, love can be anywhere; and can work only if you are willing to let it. It is their normal. It's their beginning.

Themes shown in poster are based from conversations with subjects, revolving from how they met. 

The text/typography used in the Logline is from the PC, RPG game "runeScape"; as is the computer monitor image (representing male documentary subject), and female character (symbolizing the main female interview subject) / photoshop upgrade treatment applied. 

The poster is additionally conceived with the world of online gaming and independent film style in mind. Meaning, telling a lot of story with key iconic imagery.

How do you plan to edit this video:
 
How will you structure the footage to tell the story? 
Book-ending the formalist footage (then interjecting it only throughout the narrative).  We will be however, telling the majority of the documentary through scenes that emulate their  story (ie. meeting in a common area in the game = a common area in life/footage).

Direct cuts or transitions / Do you plan to add any titles or effects? 
Using titles and visual transitions (ie. fades, direct cuts) making use of visual overlay (from the formalist interview).
