Structure & Tools

At the moment I do have a few name versions of the video, but I am still deciding. Though a correlation between the trees used by Vlad the Impaler to kill and the crimes committed so far to obtain wood logs from the Romanian forests could turn out to work really well.

I am planing to open the video with the general context of climate change (mentioning the burning Amazon, measures taken in Africa to protect the forests, etc) going into the capitalist Europe, bring in the travel element and then zooming in into the Romanian forests. 
I will present then some general and quite important issues regarding deforestations at a national level and then I will direct the focus onto Hoia-Baciu Forest. The haunted forest, the "Bermuda Triangle of Romania", as it is also known.




More about the myths and legends, but also a lot of facts we will be able to find out from Alex (founder and tour guide at Hoia-Baciu Project), who's  interview I will include towards the end of the main body of the narration. 
The end of the video will be marked with a conclusion of the importance of the role that trees play and an appeal on trying to save them from illegal cuttings.

In the production of this documentary I am planing to use as much personal footage as possible.
