Caritas Challenge - Intentions
My Intentions for DSDN Project 3, will be to focus on raising an awareness of the importance of the Caritas Challenge through the use of creating a unique and interesting stop motion film that will inspire the target audience, children at primary school, to give the Caritas Challenge a go for the good of helping millions around the world who don’t even own a bed. Due to the fact that it is aimed towards children, I will not use anything disturbing or harsh facts about death etc. as that would upset them more than inspire them to try the Challenge.
I have decided to focus on the Slum Challenge specifically as it seems like an important issue to raise awareness for children, that so many people around the world don’t even have a bed to sleep on, which I hope will tell them that having a bed is not actually a given, and that they should appreciate that they have such fortune to be able to sleep well every night, in which will want them to help those who sleep on flattened cardboard boxes every night without any shelter.
I have decided to create my stop motion with a program/game called Garry’s Mod. I have seen many films, including stop motions been made with it and so much can be done with the correct tools and creativity. I also choose to make it with Garry’s Mod as I believe that it is a unique way to raise awareness for the Caritas Challenge, also as kids find video games/ 3D animation more interesting than reality made videos, I believe it will attract children to be more fond and pay attention to my stop motion, thus increasing the chances of them doing the Caritas Challenge.
