Crossing between the Gym and School

Working Title: Crossing between the Gym and School

Producers: Savannah Plumlee and Isabel Lauby

My feature story is about Mrs. Lofquist, E-comm graphic design teacher at ONW, and a dedicated cross fit member at X-treme athletics.  Mrs. Lofquist goes to the gym every morning and teaches cross fit classes along with teaching during the day.  This story will focus on how she manages teaching at school and teaching classes at the gym.  Ultimately, I want the audience to feel motivated to work as hard as Mrs. Lofquist and understand the hard work she puts into both instructing positions.

Mrs. Lofquist will be the main character in this feature story.  We will film her at the gym and teaching classes at school to show her in both elements.  In the interview, we will ask her what motivates her to continue to do both cross fit and teach.  Mrs. Lofquist will be an interesting person to do a story on because

Mrs. Lofquist's husband would also be a good character to interview.  I'm not exactly sure of his involvement in the gym, but I think he teaches cross fit classes as well.  Mr. Lofquist would be interesting because he could give a different perspective on Mrs. Lofquist's busy lifestyle.

The conflict of this film would be how Mrs. Lofquist handles having two jobs.  I want to start the package with shots of Mrs. Lofquist tying her shoes, putting her hair up, and preparing for the cross fit class.  Then I want to include a sequencing of shots of her teaching the cross fit class.  Then I want to transition to shots of her teaching her graphic design class.  The climax of the film will be why she enjoys being busy.  The conclusion will be why she does both jobs instead of just one or the other.

I want this package to be informative and after watching it, I want the audience to have learned something more about Mrs. Lofquist that they might not have known previously.  Savannah and I plan to film Mrs. Lofquist teaching her class at 5:00 on Thursday.  Before she begins her class, we were going to interview her in the gym.  Then after Christmas break, we will get shots of her teaching her graphic design class.  After we have shot everything, we will begin the editing process.
