Script

Acrobatic Gymnastics – Train Hard or Go Home!

Documentary trailer script:

Trailer opens with a number of Gymnasts warming up  stretching and Running.  (approx 30 seconds)

Narrator:  Acrobatic Gymnastics!  Train hard of go home!  The gymnasts here at South Tyneside gymnastics club train 6 days a week 3 to 4 hours a day.  No mean feat considering most are at school or college and some of the older gymnasts working full time.

                                                                       ************

Scene moves to base gymnasts lifting weights, and conditioning and top gymnasts working on pedestals. (approx 1min 30 seconds)

Narrator: Acrobatic gymnastics is often nicknamed "ACRO"  -   This sport is not an Olympic gymnastic discipline although, possibly due to its recent growth in popularity, there are several campaigns to include it with some suggesting the removal of Rhythmic Gymnastics to make room for Acrobatics. However for the first time, it will feature in the 2015 European Olympic Games.

Acrobatic Gymnastics is a sport with two entirely different types of athletes, bases and tops.  Bases are aiming for muscular hypertrophy, and a top will build lean muscle mass and increases inflexibility.

                                                                     ****************

Scene moves to Pairs & Trio’s prepping & setting various moves. (approx 1 min 30 seconds)

Narrator:  Acrobatic gymnasts perform in pairs or groups Men’s women’s & Mixed Pairs and men’s & women’s groups.   In each partnership the gymnasts different sizes will be balanced to complement each other in order to carry out the complex moves. Some will mainly carry out supporting and pitching (throwing) roles, and are known as bases. They are then balanced with smaller more flexible gymnasts who are the 'tops'.

• use of text - for info? or could be more visually interesting?
• different perspectives from different subjects? - different gymnasts? friends? family?
• music- good choice of using instrumentals - not to interfere with interviews
• editing of music- will be effective to best show off routine - get response from the audience
