Chelsea and Jacqui's final project proposal

For our final project we plan to make a public service announcement that will help spread information about the mining of conflict minerals in the Dominican Republic Congo. We plan on shooting this PSA in the CAT TV studio. The date that we are planning to shoot on is Friday April 29th from 12- 2pm.
We will have a cell phone standing alone in front of a white background. Slowly, we will get closer and closer to the screen. While this is happening, there will be voices talking, the sound of people talking on the phone. Also as the camera is getting closer we will have text appear on the screen with facts about these minerals and how it effects the Congo. It will get louder and louder until the camera reaches the screen, and then it will become silent. On the screen, there will be text that reads: "How would you be able to communicate without the minerals necessary for all electronic devices?" After this, we will cut to a few pictures of how the minerals are mined, and who is being affected by this crisis.
This PSA is mostly going to be used as an informative video on the issue, because it still seems like the majority of the population is uneducated on the topic. We hope to make an informative and effective video that will educate people on the issue, and move towards a society that is more aware of where these minerals are coming from, and try to make a difference on individual levels.
For equipment we will need a light kit as well as a zoom recorder. We also need at least 10 people to record phone conversations, we want to use a variety of ages/sexes to get different voices.
