 * Wednesday November 16, 2011**

Today we began our campaign, and brainstormed a variety of ideas on what we could do. **First is listed the possible storyline that we created, second is listed what needs to be done ASAP! (that means today)**

Here is what we came up with (in jot note format):

- a group of people holding signs, no talking - each sign has a number on it - we use a voice over to explain stats about poverty, child soldiers, etc. - we have a whole class of around 30 people - each second, one person disappears (via editing) - we will shoot each scene for 10 seconds with everyone standing there, then everyone else will stay exactly where they are, one person will leave, and we will repeat, filming for 10 seconds each. - people will disappear from random spots around the group - mark the floor with the spots to make sure that people don't move - the last few people are holding signs displaying stats, or something else - at the end everyone disappears - Shoot in black and white because it makes it more serious - at the end after everyone has disappeared, we rewind the film to have everyone still there, each turning their number to spell out "End Child Poverty / Slavery / Soldiers - People talking at the end? - Tape on the mouth (for vow of silence?) - Voice overs at the end. - We debated using music or going silent


 * That being said, today we need to accomplish a few things:**


 * 1) We need to make the backgrounds by covering the flats with white paper. We can use tape or staples to make sure that they stay. Preferably staples as they stay better
 * 2) Need to make signs
 * 3) Using paper, planning to glue to cardboard later (or now, if we can get extra pizza boxes)
 * 4) Talk to servery about keeping pizza boxes for cardboard
 * 5) Create the mouth covers to be duct taped onto mouths
 * 6) Cut squares of black paper MEASURE the squares to make sure that they are big enough to cover someone's mouth, but not so big as that they will cover their entire face
 * 7) Use the silver sharpies to write words of inspiration on the black paper. See the sheet for guidance.
 * 8) Check for costumes: Make sure that everyone can get either a white or black shirt, and jeans. If not jeans, can we do black pants?
 * 9) We need to research the facts that we want the voice over to share, and write our a script with what the voice over will say. Do we want a male or female voice? High or low? How should they speak? Cast the voice actor.
