Picture This…Picture This…The documentary will be shot hand held with a Sony DSL450. The camerawork will be vivid and breathing. The camera looks from a distance,as an observer in the same time it moves within the characters as it would be invisible.

The characters are aware of the director that asks questions as an observer behind the camera

The Music will be composed by the sound designer and every character will have their own tune. Often the characters have played some kind of instrument by them selves that works as an basic core sound of their specific song. The idea is that every time a character is in focus, their “theme” will be playing in the background.

The yellow house will work as one of the main characters. It’s around the yellow house all the characters meet and hang out. The house brings warm feelings but also hard work and situations that stresses the people around it. The progress of the house represents the progress of the people’s dreams.
