Capstone ideas/treatment

I have been wanting to do a documentary on Britton Shipp ever since I first heard about him and his story. It made the top 5 in the voting session in the documentary class. In essence the film will be about Britton's 4 wheeling accident, a lot about his time spent in a comma, focusing on the community, high school, family and friends and their inspiring reaction of support. I am still on the fence about reenactments of the accident or him coming home. I know there are many photos and videos that will hopefully be made available by the family. I want to go along the timeline of his progress to current time as he is learning again to talk, walk, etc.
The opening scene will go as follows. In the Pine valley area or wherever exactly the kids were riding at, the opening shot will have a low angle as the wheeler comes up over a hill. Different shots of slower motion 4 wheeling as the background audio will be of kids laughing and sounds of the motor and dirt. All of a sudden the audio changes to the panic and reenactment sounds of the accident and reactions, followed by chopper sounds. I would love to have a chopper reenactment. According to the story on the street, the area was so cloudly the pilot wasn't sure how they would find the kids, but the heavens seemed to have opened directly above him for only the time they needed to rescue him, then the clouds closed again immediately after.
As the multitude of people talking, crying, hospital noises such as heart monitors, doors, rolling wheels, etc. play through quickly there will be flashes of real life stills of the aftermath that quicken their pace gradually in flashes until landing on a present-day Britton sitting, looking into the camera. He then says something to introduce the film and/or title. For example. "My name is Britton Shipp and this is my story."
I think the ending and progression of the film will come as more stories are compiled from the events, individuals are interviewed, & also based on Britton's development and progression.
