  Kamyko  Kamyko isa thriving hair dressing salon situated in the center of Wellington. We have decided to come in from the angle that looks at their journey from moving from their home country south Africa and setting up their own business in England. We also hope to look at their relationship and the homophobia they might have received.  However we are still struggling on whether this area might be too much of a sensitive subject as, we need to be careful about what questions we ask and they way we come across to them. We are looking to try and aim are target audience towards young members of society who make have been subject to homophobic bullying. But also how people reacted to them being males in the hairdressing industry.

  Locations  The locationthat this documentary will be taking place in is their own hair dressing salon kamyko. This is because I think it will be better if we can interview them in their own workspace, it will also allows us to get shots of them working whilst answering questions also.

  Research  In termsof research, because we had to come up with this idea very quickly, because the band documentary fell through. I have tried to apply the research and methods that we were going to use for that documentary to this new short film idea. Ongoing research will still be carried out throughout this entire process.

  Shots  Because weare going to be filming within their own hair salon, I hope to get some really natural shots of them cutting clients hair.  There is also the issue that clients might not be comfortable filming, having their hair cut so I have already resolved this issue and have volunteers who are willing to be filmed.  I also want to try and film some shots of the products and the equipment that they use

  Cost  The costof this short film will be incredibly low because the props and hair dressing equipment that we need the salon already have. We are also booking a slot with them so we don’t waste any of their time just as much as our own.  Also we both have transportation to and from the location and we can use equipment that is open for our use at college.

  -( plan Bcontingency)  The main narrative is based on a 60 year old elderly man named kelvin. Kelvin is a simple man who works and lives on mill farm campsite. As a general janitor doing odd jobs around the site. However he also has a complicated and dangerous past.  We decided to go with the title of kelvin as it is simple enough it wont take away from the main story of the character. Its also broad enough title that it won give away the plot straight away. We are also keeping this as a working title.  We also decided to go with the tagline “ a simple man with a not so simple man” because we wanted to keep the audience guessing.
