We don't get enough money!

After being given the task of thinking up a campaign and making a video to back it up. The group I was in decided to brain storm an idea which would be relevant to our age group. At first we thought about doing alcoholism but then realised it had been done numerous times before. After settling on the idea that student loans aren't enough for students in today's economic situation we got to work.

Before filming we started the filming process we researched other campaigns such as the free hugs campaign. When we saw the number of hits it had received on Youtube I was shocked by the figures. It showed that due to the development in the media anyone can make a statement and potentially be given a voice. Even if it's not on the old media, it can still reach people all around the world with the internet. This excited me and I was more enthusiastic than before to start working. After watching the free hugs campaign it inspired us to use music that fitted the campaign well in order to get the message across. The filming itself was hard however using a basic editor such as windows movie maker was simple enough since most of us had grown up with the software on our computers.

I really enjoyed this task mainly because I was able to express something that I had real thoughts and real issues about. The filming didn't take to much to plan because it was just us being us only with a camera so we organised when we'd go food shopping and when we'd go out and just film it. It was created on a hand held camera which I thought conveyed the message even more since it looked cheaply made....it was.
