TRANSITIONAL YOUTH ACADEMY

Lauren Radel, Corey Esoldi, Kristine Fernandez, Aaron Sison

Introduction

Choice 1: Black Screen with Sound only (Voices of Interviewees) Inspirational lead-in sentences from the

interviews of what TYA has done for them. The sentences will be audible at first and

slowly build upon each other till it’s a loud jumble of voices and a sound breaks the noise and we lead into the beginning sequence

Example

Choice 2: Inspirational sentences from the interviews written on the black screen with subtle movement of the words. In each sentence one or two words that are

inspirational will be made larger and may have an effect on them to where they zoom towards the camera or any other kind of effect that will make them stand out more from the rest of the sentence.

Example

Choice 3: Combination of both of these introductions We are hesitant with this choice because it

may be too much going on

How We Would Like to Include Statistics

Split Screen On one side one of the partners speaking The other side B-Roll of the students

interacting with each other, their mentors, and their activities.

May split the screen into 4 with one-half the person speaking and the other side split into thirds of the B-Roll

Elements

Slow Motion Example: October Country

Hard Cuts (no pre-programmed transitions)

Over Expose Images as transition Creative Sound Design

Try to stay away from music Create own sound design If use music: piano scores

Give them cameras to shoot Try to somehow have them shoot footage of

something sparks them and include that into the video

Film what they see/how they see things Shoot outside of office as much as

possible
