Personal Thoughts on Creative Direction

Today, we decided which direction we want our final project to go in. Although the subject at hand is spinal cord injuries, which can seem sad, we have decided to set up a meeting with someone who suffers from a spinal cord injury. We want this video to be informational for those who do suffer from spinal cord injury as well as trying to raise awareness. The audience intended to see this video is those who have a spinal cord injury as well as family members of the injured. We intend to interview Rutgers students around College Avenue campus in New Brunswick asking them if they know anything about spinal cord injuries to reflect that not that many people know what it entails. I am guessing the connection that people make to spinal cord injuries is to Christopher Reeve, which is good because we are creating the video for the Christopher Reeve Foundation. Moving away from the interview of random students, we plan to have our interviewee Tom, who suffers from a spinal cord injury, talk about his illness, his daily life, and any suggestions he has to help with any daily activities for the injured. We want to make the tone of this project hopeful and informational.
