Progress Report #3 - Ryan Anderson

Unfortunately I was sick last week, so I missed presenting our approaches to Interfaith. From going over the notews from last week it looks like were using one of Jeff's ideas, which Christine liked, just didn't have much to say. This weekday on our workday we plan on meeting at the Oceanside headquarters once again and start shooting. We hope to shoot a view interviews with the veterans to gain more insight on how Interfaith connects to veterans. We asked if we could have a diversity in veterans that she chose in race, gender and service. Most of the veterans at the housing are from the Navy and Marine Corps.

Our locations ideas for shooting include:

-Oceanside Pier [can show veteran fishing, surfing, walking by... depends on what veteran can do)

-Oceanside Harbor jetty [can have veteran sit on the rocks look out into the horizon]

-Oceanside City Hall

-If possible to film, maybe at Camp PendletonMarine Corp Base.

I think these locations would be ideal for shooting great connecting interviews that reveal the veterans true stories and backgrounds.

Addition for this week we as a group have come up with many interview questions to ask the veterans for this weeks workday. I'm excited to start shooting and anxious to hear what the veterans have to say. The Problem our project is focusing on is how veterans have a hard time finding jobs after their service and have specific needs that some can't afford. Interfaith gives these veterans a second chance at life and living a healthy and clean lifestyle. I believe if one volunteers their time to a non-profit organization such as Interfaith, everyone would benefit from a positive experience. So far this project has moved me in more ways than one and not taking my lifestyle for granted. I'm very grateful for all the veterans that have fought for our country and I believe they deserve the best.
