 Microwave Wedding
 by
Philipp Mischke

A kitchen filled with groceries and dishes- Afternoon 

Magda her hair disheveled, red cheeks, and her hands full with grocery bags rushes into the kitchen, trying to find an empty place on one of the counters to drop them. Unsuccessfully, she decides to set them on the floor and starts to dig deep in them on her search for her desired item.In her search she throws around the other groceries, groans from exhaustion and finally espies it; the turkey.

Magda
(angry)
I only got 15 god damn minutes left, 
so your turkey butt better burn fast!
We see her hastily tearing apart the wrapping of the turkey and sprinting towards the other side of the kitchen opening the door of the microwave. As it turns out the microwave is too small for the huge turkey, which she tries to solve by forcefully trying to push it in.
Magda
(screaming at the Turkey)
I will get you in there no matter what and then
I will microwave you until death and beyond!

Out of despair we see her leave the room, returning after a few minutes with a hammer in her hand heading determined towards the already crushed chicken.

Magda
(sarcastic)
You two will be a cute couple.

Treatment and Script for Documentary

Title:

The Artist within us



Tagline:

When the creative mind meets the eye



Logline:

The documentary follows four aspiring artists, each of them with their own choice of medium on how to convert their unique story into something visually that depicts their relationship towards art.



Synopsis:

This documentary is going to show four artists doing their medium/s of art while in the background the audio reveals their opinion, passion and relationship to art. The four interviews are not going to be chronologically order in the video but rather instead the answers are going to be chronological making it seem like the four artists are adding on to each other create a long single monologue.


Locations:
Depending on the artist and chosen medium the location will be at several different places


Artists:
Vanessa Forrest
Pavel Eshanov
Anne Zulas (Pending)
Arlene Pickrell


Resources:
Camera
Lense
Sd Card
Battery
Artists
Stabilizer
Art supplies
Microphone



Interview Questions/Script:
1) Whats your name and what are you studying at IUSB?
2) What is your earliest memory that you can recall doing art / A special moment?
3) When did you realize that ''art'' is going to be a big part of your career?
4) What is your favorite theme/topic to depict in your chosen medium?
5) Where do you draw your inspiration from?
6) What other artists (other branches) inspire you? 
7) Which medium is your favorite and elaborate why?
8) What other kind of medium do you wish you would be experienced in/art fascinated by?
9) What do you plan to do after graduating from IUSB?
10) Do you think your future plans/future position will have an influene on others? How are you going to use this influence?
11) If you needed to describe art in one sentence, what would it be?
12) What advice/insight do you have for other aspiring artists?
13) If you look at other peoples art piece what do you think about (first)?
14) How much influence do you does art have, why do you think that?
15) What would you respond to someone who thinks that art is a waste of time and not worth the effort? How would you convince him otherwise?
16) What art piece are you most proud of that you have created so far? Describe it and why it means so much to you?
17) What would you life look like if you had to give up art? How would it make you feel?

Script:
The video starts of with a black screen and the answer to question 11) answered by all four artists. The main part of the documentary is going to show all of the artists doing their passion in form of different medium while the other answers to the questions play in the background but seem to hold a story/plot as if someone was holding a poetic speech about art. The final scenes will be about question 12) which will have the exception of having each artist in front of a white background giving their advice directly to the camera and thereby directly to the audience.

(I wish I could write more about the envisioned script but a great part of this documentary and its structure is passed on what the artist´s responses will look like)
