Alright, well, we have our second quarter projects started, and I would say that Nicole and I are making some progress. We are still to get two more interviews on Wednesday. I know, it's kind of late to do it, but if it's going to help us, then it's worth it! We have transcribed our interviews, and we are starting to put together our script… We've got our treatment and all, so I think that's good… The only thing is that we kind of now have a different perspective of our story, rather than it just being on the orphanage.
We are somewhat on track due to the fact that we have our transcribing almost completed. We've got only three interviews so far, which is kind of a bummer, and definitely not what I was hoping to start off with… We would've had another one, but they couldn't do it. One of our interviews is very low in quality, and the reason for that is because we had lost the first interview shot with this one lady, and so I had to redo it, only this time, we did it online. And now, I know what you're thinking, that I must be crazy to think of doing this! The video must look really bad in your mind, but it's well enough to the point where you can at least see her facial details and all… I really hope this works out for us because she gave a REALLY good interview, all the way in Thailand!!!!
We are on the verge of trying to put together our script with what we have so far, so we can get a head start kind of… But, what I mean by that is like, highlighting and pasting it after the Voice Over it matches. Then, we finished up our treatment. We decided to do both the Who, What, When, Where, Why, and How, and the Topic, Angle, issue, and Story. Although, we had a little chat with my uncle, so he could give us some ideas, since he kind of is into the media industry and all. And this is where it all changes…
We decided that instead of just making the story on the Orphanage in Thailand, we decided that it should go deeper into the reason why, and how it's changed the lives of children. Now, this is kind of heavy… our story is on how this orphanage, and Mark and Dorien have rescued many many children from being at risk of child trafficking, and slavery. Over in Thailand, there are grandparents and parents that are really poor, and want money, so because they want money, they are willing to sell their own children out for child trafficking and slavery! In return, they get money, and the children get candy… To them, candy equals a reward for being a prostitute! These children are literally four, five years old! Mark and Dorien just couldn't bear to see these children out on the streets being forced to do these things! Aside from this, the grandparents hardly ever give up their children because they basically set their child to be their own slave, and make them work for them! That is just downright wrong! So this is why I chose to add this in to my story, so that I can show how Mark and Dorien and the Orphanage have made a life changing difference in these children's lives…
Can you imagine what their lives would've been like if it weren't for Mark and Dorien? At such a young age they are forced to, you know what, with such discusting, cruel people! When I first heard about this, I was truly devastated, I feel SOOO lucky to be where I am now! So anyways, I am surely making my way through this project, step by step… I really hope this turns out alright. I am glad that I met up with Rick, so he was able to tell me all this information, otherwise, I think my project wouldn't have been that interesting to start with… Whether or not I'm on time, or behind, I know I will make this project turn from Good, to GREAT! (PS, sorry if this blog was a heavy thing to process, or if you felt uncomfortable, but I felt I needed to share with you how lucky we are, and how wonderful they must feel now that Mark and Dorien rescued them).
