Last week we presented some of our storyboards to the class and decided on one to take to our contact at Interfaith. We met with her on Friday and she seemed very satisfied with our three step approach: present the problem, introduce Interfaith as the solution, and discuss some of the results that have been seen. Also, we will be tacking on a segment regarding their capital campaign that can be easily edited out to add to the movies longevity. After our meeting, we went to the housing again to look over some possible places to interview and decided the main courtyard would be ideal. We also plan to film some interviews at iconic north county areas to keep the locality of this issue present. Two main sites we're looking at are the Oceanside pier and jetty. We also asked Christine to give us five veterans to interview, taking race gender and where they toured into account. Tomorrow, Jermain and I are meeting up at noon to test the equipment then head to the housing to setup. A few more members of the team are meeting us there around three to conduct our first interview.
The problem our video addresses is the difficulty soldiers face in reassimilating into society, and homelessness as a result. I think the government could take a more active role in helping them transition. A major part of a soldiers training is preparing them for war, but an equally important part is preparing them to be a citizen again.
