Project Proposal

Working Title- The Story Untold- Canada in War
Producer- St. John's College
Director- Amanda Shewell
Camera person- Broadcast Journalism Class
Sound Recordists-Broadcast Journalism Class
Editor- Amanda Shewell
Other Collaborators-Broadcast Journalism Class

Hypothesis- I want the audience to feel inspired by the work of Canadian Soldiers, and the sacrifices they made for our country.

Topic- This video will show the viewer how Canadian soldiers fought for our country's freedom and status in WW1 and WW2. These soldiers will give the viewer an insight on Canadian history and independence. It will inspire many to learn about their country and soldiers more. It will provide the viewer with respect for our fellow soldiers.

Main Characters- Veterans and Interviewers
-These veterans fit in the role of story tellers of the war. They are the few that are still alive and provide great significance to the video.

Conflict- These veterans will give the viewer insight of conflict in the war. Situations such as soldiers dying for our country's freedom and other opposing countries' resistance.

Audiences Biases- People may think that Canadians can't fight (stereotypes)
Alternate Views- Some may think that Canada shouldn't have gotten involved in the war. (Not necessary)While others may think it was a good decision.

Structure- This video structure will be very versatile. Showing images and interviews, this video will provide the viewer with much information about Canada in War. We managed to take images of every display there so that we will be able to provide as much information as possible. The beginning of the film will be a sideshow of images in order of war events Canada has been through. With provided voice overs, the viewer will be interested right away. Climatic scenes will most likely be in the middle of the film, when the viewer will be paying most attention. This will grab the viewer's attention more and keep them interested. The end of the film will provide the viewer with a similar structure as the beginning of the film; with a sideshow of possibly Canada in its current war in Afghanistan and if the world will ever be able to create peace. This will leave the viewer thinking and inspired, which is was we are aiming to do.

Resolution- I plan on this video being successful. It will inspire viewers to learn more about their Canadian freedom and history. Hopefully, it will cause the viewers to treat the elderly with respect and gratitude.
