Social Actions Draft


What is a Social Issue?

Wikipedia describes a social issue as 'matters which directly or indirectly affect a person or many members of a society and are considered to be problems, controversies related to moral values, or both.' I understand this as a phrase used to cover a wide range of issues that affects a community in a negitive way. Take this video for example http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=L8XyO0rEeUk.
 

What is the need for Social Action video?

Like the video above social action videos are needed to raise awareness or money for the group or charity. People may have not heard of the social action until a video is made or not have known much about it. By having a social action video this means that its a chance to show interviews or similar formats that may touch someones heart.

Local Social Action

Fly Tipping Social Actions

This social action video is made to raise awareness of the situation but also to persuade people to stop doing it! This video educates the viewer on what actions they take to clear the fly tipping and what it does to the enviroment.

This social action again has been created to raise awareness, persuade and educate.

Once again this social action video is made to raise awareness, persuade and educate. After finding all three being made to do the same thing I now know what I need to aim to do with my own.

Evaluation

My final production was submitted on time although I didn’t think it would have been due to circumstances out of my hands where I was stood up and couldn’t film but I saved my production by voice recording another member of the group who didn’t want to be filmed from the beginning. I am pleased with the idea I came up with and I still feel it was the best idea for me and works better than any other idea I would have come up with. I don’t think it has worked as well as it could have but I did have very high expectations. All of my paperwork was filled out correctly and submitted way before deadline as I made sure it was all done before or during the filming. The people I interviewed are aware that they were filmed and it will be on the internet and any copyright is for educational purposes only.

My clients were really pleased with the production and have agreed to publish it on the parish council website along with the action group’s page. My pre-production was all done ahead of schedule which meant I could start filming earlier. Although even though started filming ahead of schedule I didn’t finish early but still made the deadline. Vibe productions didn’t know the people involved with the action although I have family connections. I gave updates regularly as I kept in contact with both my customer and my social action group throughout my production period.

Doing the project on my own meant I had to be organised and get all the work done on time and alone. I did this by giving myself a timetable which to follow when I can work.

I feel my project was successful and I got the point across although I feel it could be improved by giving it more of a personal touch to someone and had a personal story. A member of the action stood me up on a number of occasions which held me back from interviewing her therefore I didn’t get an interview from the head member.
