Final Proposal

Documentary Ideas

Documentary Story Ideas

Idea 1: This idea is following a wrestler and his climb to become the tag team champions. The film will follow him training, in and out of the squared circle as well as having interviews with him, his partner, and showing a match through out the film.

Idea 2: The next idea I have is of an underground band showing interviews and practice performances throughout. The documentary will show the band's personality and also show how they want to promote the music rather than the band themselves.

Idea 3: The final idea i have is making a documentary cosplay. I will have a large use of vox pop's and interviews from people who enjoy and are experts at creating the costumes. Filming will be at a range of different conventions like the MCM Expo, London Film And Comic Con... ect...

Potential Filming Problems: The problems that i may face whilst filming are that the studio is booked or the band members fall ill on the day of filming. To avoid this I will make sure that the room is booked out to us a week or so before and I will be in contact with the band up until filming to know if anything is happening with any band members.

Previous bands: Alien Nation - Luke and Joey only. 
                          Jettatura (Euan joined the band at the start of the formation of Vendorbelly.

"Taller than your last bar order; wider than the Panama Canal. Three musicians from Bromley creating fuzzy, shoe-gazey metallic sounds that will get you tapping your feet and foreheads on the ground. Loud isn't loud enough, go louder."

       Shortly before forming, the members were in the group Jettatura whose one and only gig was in a garden supporting Funeral For A Friend. Vendorbelly hope to best this effort and have FFAF support them. 2012 was the year Vendorbelly came into it's own. Playing a whole slew of shows across London and the surrounding areas with trailblazers such as Bloodshed, this all culminated in their first festival appearance at Danson Park's annual Danson Festival, Bexleyheath. After Danson, the band took a short break from playing shows in order to write and recover (and work outside of the band) but are back and ready to fuzz up unsuspecting ears.

Formed in October 2011 in the wake of their previous band, Luke Tomkins, Joey Flanagan and Euan James-Richards  set about creating heavier music than they were before. The name 'Vendorbelly' came from an arbitrary google search that resulted in a page seeking belly dancers in the small town of Vendor, Arkansas, USA. Initially writing dark punk/metal based music to quell their thirst for aggression, the band spent the majority of 2012 playing shows across London and the south east. Vendorbelly takes influence from many top players in the alternative genre, including Melvins, My Bloody Valentine, Deerhoof and Mudhoney. The band is currently going through a transitional phase from their aggressive roots to a more song-based structure. Their newest EP, 'Waving Lines', is the first step on this road.

Currently recording a music video for the song Cairo by Andy Brack being filmed at dungeness beach.

Sludge Rock/Stoner Metal. This genre is a mixture of multiple types of music including Doom Metal, Hard Rock Punk, Psychedelic Rock, Blues Rock and traditional Heavy Metal. Started in the 1990's the genre has seen many bands, like the Californian band Kyuss and Seattle's own Soundgarden, come out and been produced showing the world that this music exists and is an interesting experimental way of creating music. This is what my documentary will be based on showing the audience of today that this music is still around and something that people in the mainstream music industry are unaware of. 

The type of questions I will be proposing to the band will hopefully show a new audience how this music is created/promoted by the band and what are their feelings towards their music in this day in age of "The hit's" charts. 


Genre: Sludge Rock/ Experimental / Stoner Metal.
