Service Via Video

As I have written about before, I am doing a video project for a local animal shelter. We are trying to promote it as much as possible and hopefully we will be able to get some donations and volunteers at the shelter. My group and I are going today to film and interview two employees of the shelter. After we finish editing, our whole class will be entering our videos into a competition entitled Service Via Video. Hopefully we not only do well in the competition, but mainly I want our video to impact the community and reach out so that the shelter will receive some donations and assistance from the community.  I think my group has a good vision for this video, and I am hoping that it all goes how we plan it.

DigCit Field Trip

We were recently put into small groups and given a non-profit organization to create a video for and promote them. I was given the local animal shelter to make a video promoting what they do and spreading their name so that people will know about them. This way people can give them animals they can no longer keep rather than leaving them out on the streets. Yesterday our whole class traveled to each organization and met several people that worked at each. At the animal shelter, our main goal is to spread the name of the shelter, this way people know that it is there and can properly take care of animals if they are no longer wanted or for some reason they can no longer take care of them. Hopefully after our video is released to the public the animal shelter will have more people coming in and adopting animals. 

There are several other organizations that we are working with such as food pantries and our local rotary club, the goal of our project is to get their names out so that they can receive some donations and hopefully they can be even more successful than they are currently. We are also entering these videos into a video contest about service, hopefully one of our videos can win a prize for our organization.
