Script and Main Idea

Main Idea:
We would like to show students having a hard time trying to stay at Champlain College. The video will illustrate students having financial problems with massive amounts of mail and bills. We will visually represent the bills by showing a student emptying their mailbox in the mailroom and receiving an endless amount of collection letters. The main idea will encourage graduating students to donate to the college by illustrating these problems of current students. Use of slow motion will help convey the mood.

Script

Characters:
Devon: Narrator, Sponsor
Kelsey: Struggling Student 1
Emily: Struggling Student 2

Kelsey sitting, doing homework. Devon walks in and puts hand on her shoulder.
Devon: Getting through college is not as easy as it seems.


VO: Students are buried by bills every year. Others are even turned away through lack of financial aid. This can take a toll on students’ lives.
