Proposal
ALPHA
Mile High Vineyard Testimonial Video
Project OVERVIEW
Create a four to five minute video centered on the church-wide implementation of Alpha at Mile High Vineyard church in Denver, CO. The video will feature three perspectives from Mile High Vineyard: head pastor Jay Pathak, Alpha facilitator Jerry, and the perspective of an Alpha guest. This video’s audience will hear why church leadership decided to run Alpha church-wide, what it looks like to run Alpha as a church body, and a story of transformation from a guest.
ideal PRODUCTION/SHOOTING SCHEDULE
Early to mid-November
Saturday – Arrive in Denver
Sunday – Shoot b-roll of church services where Pastor Jay will be teaching/attending, additional b-roll of Jerry and our Alpha guest as a part of the service, and any other b-roll relevant to our stories. Scout locations for each of our interviews. If needed, can conduct some of the needed interviews this day, though Monday will be ideal.
Monday – Shoot interviews with our three interviewees at the church building. If possible, have each interview in a different location. Each interview setup usually requires about 45-60 minutes, so stagger interview times accordingly. Gather any video clips and photos of previous Alpha sessions, especially specific to each of our three interviewees.
Tuesday – Assuming Alpha sessions are held in the evening, spend the first part of the day gathering location b-roll of church, city, other relevant locations. If needed/relevant, can shoot interviewees on their way to Alpha session, setting up for Alpha, etc. Shoot Alpha session(s) as they are being held with specific focus on Jerry as facilitator, and our Alpha guest.
Wednesday – Leave Denver
