Explanation of act one. Where are we? What’s this documentary about? Who are the main characters? What do they want? What’s the setup?
It starts with a clip of Lella Lombardi on track in F1 and then a clip from an interview she did. Any other footage of female F1 drivers is in this montage, a montage of other female racing drivers involved in F1 some way or a feeder series. there is then a quote and then a title screen. The interviewees are introduced and a little bit of information about them is given, maybe an introduction to them. Then I talk about the 5 women who have entered F1, giving a short introduction, first introducing that women can enter F1 and that is the beauty of motorsports that women and men can race together at the same level together and compete. Talk about the reasons that women aren’t in F1, the unique challenges they face identified by More Than Equal. Then start introducing initiatives that are designed to help female racing drivers progress.
Explanation of act two. What’s the conflict? Where’s the story going?
Talk about W series and give a brief recap, and then lead onto F1 Academy, briefly talk about what it is, give some clips from interviews about F1 Academy. Talk about where female racing drivers are right now, F4 level, and mention how F1 Academy is different from W series and helps women progress.
Explanation of act three. How does the documentary reach a resolution? What’s the climax?
Some social media post about the possibility of women racing in F1. Maybe some vox pops and thoughts from some interviewees about having women race in F1 and what needs to be done about it. My leaving thoughts and any final things from interviewees. Talking about the possibilities in the future and F1 Academy in the next few years.
Final wrap-up. Where do we leave the ‘characters’? What happens at the very end? Is there an epilogue? (a final or concluding event)
“If there is one thing that you take away from this film, let it be this…”
