Assignment Nine Video Proposal

Minute one:

Camera pans over the park showing the entire earth day event. Next I show detailed shots of specific events and people. Artists, demonstrators, local businesses, event goers and food vendors. All of the details that make Earth Day in Berkeley a unique experience. The audio consist of ambient sounds from the event.

About half way through the first minute the ambient sounds cut out and a narrator begins to describe earth day. There is a brief history of the event and why it was organized in the first place.

Minute two:

Event patrons describe their experiences with Earth Day. If this is their first time at earth day they describe why they came and what their first impression is they. If they are a return visitor They describe how long thy have been coming and what keeps bringing them back. Every body will be asked what one thing (demonstrations or activities) then liked the most about Earth Day, and one thing they thought was missing from the event.

Minute three:

I want to focus on sponsors that are involved in alternative energy and alternative transportation. I will ask these sponsors a set of questions about their policies and

goals and why they feel it is important to small public events like Earth Day.

The camera focuses on specific vendors related to alternative energy sources and alternative transportation. There is a narration describing what each vendor does.

Minute Four:

The camera again focuses on a specific sponsor.

At this point I will begin to integrate still images of the sponsor's booth and the technology that they are demonstrating. I want to use still images that very specifically and directly illustrate the goals of the particular sponsor. Still images are a god medium to communicate these pionts because of their superior clarity, and image quality of motion video. Where as a brief but important moment or action is lost in video, a still photograph can emphasize it.

I will interlace stills of the technology that the sponsor's are promoting while a representative narrates and describe in detail the technology and ideas that they are promoting.

Minutes Five and Six.

I will follow the same routine that I did in The fourth minute for two more specific sponsor's related to alternative energy and alternative transportation. These pieces will take up about 45 to 60 seconds.

Minute Seven.

I will close the piece with more detail and over-arching shots of the Earth Day event and, specifically, detail shots of the alternative energy and alternative transportation technology. The narrator or event goer will speak over the images and provide some closing thoughts on the event and its future.
