Veteran Video Proposal

Veteran Video Proposal

Purpose for our proposal:

The campaign we’re making is to mainly inform and educate the public audience of veterans which come home after war, with mental issues like; PTSD and many end up homeless. We wan’t spread awareness for this issue, which happens often, proven through the amount of people left homeless, with their own words; “We are veterans, we came home and the government didn’t help us, no one helped us and therefore, left us homeless”.

We want to educate the public because this problem occurs often and is life threatening. Due to the disorder ‘PTSD’ (Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder), it  veterans mentally scarred for life, causing problems whether they’re in a home or out a home (aka homeless). We will use a charity called ‘Help for heros’ to share and advertise, amongst our campaign video. We will use our video to educate the public from age groups of 16+ because we want them to be aware of the issue and if possible donate, and help any homeless or give advise to anyone suffering from PTSD. Either offer them help or provoke them try get help by using the charity ‘Help For Heros’. Although, PTSD, isn’t very visible but can still be resolved if someone caring enough, asks and tries to help; even if they refuse or say ‘I’m okay’, you can contact Help For Heros for more answers on how to see if someone is suffering from PTSD and you can learn from a professional.

Target Audience/Ethnicity

The target audience for our campaign video will be aimed at generally anyone who can see if people are suffering but we want to inform to all age range, from mainly; 16 - 30. This is because this target audience generally don’t know about it but if they do and are informed, they can help those who suffer because they are above age, where they can donate but why we have it aimed at everyone is because if they can’t donate, they would still understand and can still in someway raise awareness and support the campaign, by contacting Help For Heros because they can't visibly see the people going through trauma but they will see similar actions from the video we will make; ‘Blanks out, can’t concentrate, randomly stops doing work and blankly stares into the distance, make actions as if they’re still in war and etc’.  

The ethnicity/gender will come under all  and this isn’t really targeted at, because the ethnicity/gender doesn’t really matter. Especially when it comes to a disorder or (mental) illness. We are mainly just trying to inform and educate people what veterans go through, even if they don’t look like they’re struggling or if they look normal. We want to help all the veterans by supporting them, using the ‘Help For Heros’ and try raise enough awareness for this issue.

How the campaign will be filmed

The campaign will start with the character of the soldier sitting in a chair with ambient sounds of war screams, helicopters, flying sounds of bombs surrounding the characters memory and forever haunting the character of the soldier . The camera will slowly zoom out from the character's face with the sounds in his mind rapidly become louder the more the character remembers his army days.

Platform

This campaign will be shown on youtube and on and shared out on instagram our audience will access this video though the instagram app and the youtube app and or the youtube website and the instagram website to. We will want our video to be shared across all these social media websites and we wish to raise as much possible awareness. If possible, advertise it on TV or post this as adverts during YouTube videos; where people can’t skip the video, as this will actually make them ‘have’ to watch it and will be informed; this is where we use the term ‘hypodermic needle theory’, to feed information to the audience and they intake whether they wish too or not.

HelpForHeroes https://www.helpforheroes.org.uk/

This campaign would be all about our vets who are returning from wars and or who are suffering from PTSD after the war which they came back from. Furthermore this campaign would make more people aware of the sacrifice of our troops as most people do not think about them and forget about them after the wars are finished also this would give people a way to thank them for the sacrifice that they have paid whilst serving the nation and or thank them for their service too. This would also help bring this topic to more people who do not think about our cost of war even though those wars are being fought fare from us we still pay a price for them in the form of our troops. 

Help for Heroes supports those with injuries and illnesses attributable to their service in the British Armed Forces. No matter when someone served, we believe that those prepared to put their lives second, deserve a second chance at life.

Every course and activity we offer aims to empower them to look beyond illness and injury, regain their purpose, reach their potential and have a positive impact on society.

season 1 episode 1
 THE FIRST SEEN IS SET IN A TATTOO SHOP WHICH THEN CHANGES TO HIS HOUSE WHICH HAS A LOT OF NEWS PAPERS PLASTERED ON ALL THE FRONT WINDOWS.THIS IS ALSO THE TIME WE ARE WE ARE INTRODUCED TO THE MAIN CHARACTER.I so fare believe that one of the villain characters will be one of the correctional officers and probably some of the inmates too.the hero is clearly scofield and maybe his layer that seems to be more than just his lawyer too. The villains are also the secret service and or whoever is trying to frame his brother for the murder of the VPs brother maybe even the VP him self who is the main villain (maybe). There is a cliffhanger at the end right after he shows his tattoos to his brother which are a subliminal map of the whole prison by which point there is a transition and a birds eye view of the prison by which point the whole thing cuts to darkness leaving us on a cliffhanger and making us guess what will happen next keeping us watching and waiting for the next episode to find out what happens.There is also a concurrent narrative of the different characters like the son of brother of scofield dealing weed one of the invics proposing to his girlfriend and the layer planning her wedding and the court case of scofield along with the bank robbery he does to get to jail and may other to come as the series progresses season by season episode by episode there be more different stories going on at the some time in one episode.

Save the Children -Second a Day Video

setting:

props:

costume/makeup:
The first way that they bring this situation closer to us is through the setting and the costumes that are used to show how this event can be close to home. For example through the costumes of the girl, we know she is a child in the UK as she is wearing a school uniform [known as the british school uniform] and goes to a primary school. Furthermore we know this is in the UK as at one point there is a shot of the London Sky line which also brings the story closer as London is the capital city of the UK which makes us more drawing into the ad (in theory).  

lighting:


camera work(camera angles )shots:
In this video the creators use a wide range of mise en sence to convey the image of war and effects of war on a child in a span on one year.

sound: 
Though the clip there is a lot of diegetic sound intertwined with non-diegetic. The main sound we hear is diegetic sound that we can hear and see on screen.furthermore there is alot of ambient sound thought of the video at the start of the video there are sounds of nature like birds and children when in the school but then the sounds  change to rapid news reports and jet fighter flying through and later to bombs hitting the city and later in the video you can also hear bullets and then people on amplifiers in the military safe point.

America’s Future | U.S. Air Force (TV Commercial)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4rj9-fmxbUg

This advert is aimed at recruiting people into the USAF and getting people to also be very proud of the USAF and to make them appreciate what the air force does. This is done by using speeches of different Presidents of the United States like President Reagan and President Bush there famous speeches to the armed forces. Furthermore they use actual service men and women(this also shows equality) of the USAF and show the best equipment of the AF to show how strong they are and by showing the pilots, they are saying that you can be just like them, flying those cool aircraft and be part of the best in the world.  The platforms on which this can be viewed on US TV and the internet and on news websites which run ads in the background. The main massage is that you can be just like thous grate people big and strong and powerful furthermore by using presidents which are very public and recognisable people means they are much easier to relate to then if they use normal people or generals which people dont know. In addition to this the title "Americas Future" crests a buzz as people will feel like "yhe" the can relay be the future of the AF and also just like thous grate people who are beeing plade in the backround. 
The target aoudenc of the ad are peolpe who are intrested in joining the AF and or to make people to re enlist in the US militery or change branches of the militery. 
This ad plays on peoples aspersions to be the best and on how people like the armed services in the US this also plays on how people want to be part of an organisation that gives them comrade and safety and that people aspire to presidents and to how good they are that they can be as good as them and or close to that.
