Vision - Mr. Porteno Responds to Anti- Violence Film First Draft.



HIHI
Primero, probably UNHCR has a library of footage from the field from which you can choose images of men and women doing things together.

Segundo, i find very effective an initial counter point, i don't know how to explain. The video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9zKfF40jeCA has some of it. You first flash through what you want to prevent, change, in this case, violence against women, with images, music, strips of fast video, and then you jump in a calmer more harmonious part, doing things together.

Tercero, the message, starts with me, you, us. Maybe the message is stronger if you put the Starts with ME. In english, writing "starts with US", reads like "starts with U.S.", it's a very unfortunate similarity. I understand it's a community action, that everybody needs to do it together, all. But i don't know what is best, me, you or us. Hos would that impact in the refugees' population? Maybe starts with me is very indidualistic western approach.

Cuarto, great sequence of activities!!!! I would change the one with a couple playing with their kids, to one of a man and a women parenting, doing all the chores of a household, a man talking to his daughter, a women to her son, etc.

Quinta, have you thought of doing some animations or simple drawings? it's easy to produce in terms of materials and space.

Et derniƩre, i can help looking for pictures up for you, as a complement to your production.

buona sera!
