Video Treatment

For my video project, I am going to make a short video about religious oppression. I chose this because I have grown up in a split religion household and have seen the difference in privileges that my father carries as Christian, compared to my mother that is Jewish. My video will start by stating the basics about Christian privilege in school and work, as well as in the public view. I will then continue on and talk about my personal experience of being Jewish in the public school system. I will interview my mother for a short clip of how it was to have children in school that did not teach about any religion other than Christian. I am going to record myself and my mother onto my computer by the built in microphone and webcam, making my project a sort of video blog. I will edit it with the program called Windows Movie Maker. As I have firsthand experience with religious oppression, I will use that as the basis of my speech. I will talk of my experiences and my families and talk about what we can do to make changes in society. My first step is to record myself talking and the interview scene with my mother to make sure that it flows smoothly and is the correct length. I then will record it again in a more formal way to make sure it is appropriate and edit it in order to put in transitions. I will be able to post it onto SlideShare after that. My take home message for this video will be about how we need equality and the realization of privilege that Christians have in society.
