safe program concept

setting: park/playground
- symbolizes the community
- the salvation army is trying to get these children out into the community.

there are a couple of options that we have been considering.

first was to have an empty park with a voice-over saying statistics, and that the salvation army safe program is helping kids get out into the community.
- the empty park was to symbolize what some of the children's lives are like without their help. they tend to stay indoors more and stay to themselves.


a second idea is to have the empty park but then fade in children playing.
- when the voice-over says that the salvation army helps children get out into the community, then children playing would fade into the park
- this option leaves less to the imagination of the viewers.

this shot could prove to be quite difficult depending on how busy the park is. if the park is really busy then this could be to difficult to accomplish.

we are going to discuss and see which option we're going to go with.

as a sample, we shot a little piece of video. the first part shows how we would fade children into a shot, while the second one shows more of a "ghost" effect with the people being see through.
