homelessness in london (personal pitch)
TRANSCRIPT
HOMELESSNESS IN LONDONWhy the Homeless?
CONCEPT OF THIS PROJECT This website is to help shed a personal light on the homeless people of
London. Either those on the streets or those struggling to find a place to live, who have to be on the move daily because they cant afford to live somewhere.
Would love for this to be a hub where the public get a personal feel and understanding of how such people are living, a place where they can tell their story.
Something people would also definitely be interested in reading and listening about!
MULTIMEDIA CONTENT The website would be quite media heavy, with a few written stories but
what really I want to push through on the website are short docu videos. For example, a sort of ‘struggle of the day for the homeless’ where we follow a certain individual on their travels of the day which is probably more interesting than most of us may know.
The idea of these short docu vids is for audience to get an understanding (hopefully a sympathetic one) of harshness of having nowhere to live, bathe or eat!
The second media medium is what I mentioned in our Rwandan idea which is the ongoing podcast. It would be different with the homeless one because we would have to come up with various topics to see their point of view.
TRAFFIC DRIVE Similar to the Rwandan concept of traffic drive it would mean us using
several social platforms i.e. Twitter, Tumblr, Soundcloud etc. It does depend although on which platforms are reaching out to our audience quicker and effectively which could mean we particularly focus on one or two of them.
