1. A little push to living:
For my production I have chosen to show what the Bourne End
Community Association does for the community and how it helps with
loneliness within older people. I have chosen to address this issue because
I believe it is a hidden killer within older people and something that needs
to be helped with. Because it is something that older people have to deal
with themselves it is never heard of so people do not ever see it is there,
this is the reason behind naming it a hidden killer.
The length of my production will be about 5 minutes long. I believe this
will be enough time to get my point across and show both issues but also
not rushing them. I will have interviews with the head of The Bourne End
Community Association and also interviews from children and pensioners
who spend their time there.
The angle I want to take on my production is 1) to get the community
aware of what the Community Association do and how they can get
involved, and 2) make people aware of the growing issue of loneliness
within older people and make sure they can do what they can to help their
own family (and others) not suffer.
I will start with an introduction, with short statements of what I am going
to be talking about, and also quick clips of things that go on in the
Community Centre. This will then lead into me talking about my first topic
of the community center, what happens there, what they do, and how
they help. This will include my interview with a child or young adult who
go there and enjoy it. This will then lead me on to a quick paragraph on
talking about ‘Target Magazine’ the Bourne End magazine that lets the
community know what is going on, when, where and also any important
information they may or may not need to know. After finishing on this I
will hit my main issue of loneliness. As I’ve been able to explain the
community association the viewers will have an idea of the place and what
they can do, I can then go right on to talking about what they can do with
older people as well, not just younger kids. I will include several (if I can)
interviews of older people and what they do to keep themselves social and
active within their lives. I will end off with a brief summary of both topics
letting the viewer’s then check the Centre out for themselves.
My target audience for this production would be the community of Bourne
End and locals surrounding the area. The first half would be reaching out
to parents and kids letting them know that the community centre is a lot
better than it sounds! The second half would be going out to younger
adults, adults and older people who can be helped or help themselves out
by going down there and joining in with what they do.
I will be uploading my video to YouTube in the hope that with searches it
will appear and be easily accessible. I will also talk to the head of the
Association and see about getting it on the Bourne End website.
