Details

PALS - Project Adult Literacy Society aims to showcase the transformative power of literacy programs through a compelling short video. The project focuses on highlighting the personal and educational achievements of adult learners who have participated in PALS programs. By capturing their stories, the video will illustrate the profound impact that improved literacy skills have on individuals' lives, including increased confidence, better job opportunities, and enhanced community engagement. The goal is to create an engaging and inspiring narrative that resonates with a broad audience, encouraging support for literacy initiatives. The project will involve interviewing selected learners, gathering testimonials, and creatively editing the footage to produce a cohesive and impactful video. This project provides students with the opportunity to apply their skills in video production, storytelling, and communication, while contributing to a meaningful cause.

Deliverables

The primary deliverable is a professionally edited short video, approximately 3-5 minutes in length, that effectively communicates the success stories of PALS adult learners. The video should include interviews, testimonials, and relevant visuals that highlight the impact of literacy programs. Additionally, a brief written summary of the video's content and objectives should be provided to accompany the final product.
