Proposal

ALPHA

Unity in Wilsonville

Project SUMMARY

The power of unity to propel transformation.

Project OVERVIEW

Create three 3-5 minute videos that unpack the importance and validity of Gen Z to an audience that may have made faulty assumptions about the generation, while showing that God can do more when we work together.

Video Summaries

• Video 1 - What is Gen Z and what is Alpha Youth?

  • Primary Objective

    • To experience an emotionally-impactful story of transformation from a Wilsonville student.

      • Ideally a student who grew up in the church, walked away from the faith, and has experienced rebirth-renewal through ALPHA Youth.

  • Secondary Objective

    • To dispel myths/misconceptions about Gen Z while showing the hope for revival in this generation.

    • To give an overview of what ALPHA Youth looks like when practiced correctly/intentionally, and what makes it a unique tool for student transformation.

• Video 2 - Unity

  • Primary Objective

    • To experience an emotionally-impactful story of transformation from a Wilsonville student.

      • Ideally a student who experienced a meaningful relationship with someone of a different generation that led to their openness to Christ.

  • Secondary Objective

    • To show how a unified vision has created unique opportunities for a broader impact among students in Wilsonville.

    • Show the challenges of working together while demonstrating the power of unity.

• Video 3 - A Growing Movement

  • This video will be designed to function as a summary of the other two videos, casting a vision for a movement of unity through ALPHA Youth, while centering on a unique story of transformation. It will be the ideal single video to send/show to others when sharing three is not ideal.

  • Primary Objective

    • To experience an emotionally-impactful story of transformation from a Wilsonville student.

      • Ideally a student whose personal growth has become contagious and is reaching out to other students.

  • Secondary Objective

    • To give an overview of ALPHA Youth, its unified implementation in Wilsonville, and the impact it has had on students there.

    • Show the remarkable things that have happened because of their unified approach, and that there can be momentum if/when others take a similarly unified approach.

ideal PRODUCTION/SHOOTING SCHEDULE

• Session 1 - 5-7 days - Shot while 8 weeks of ALPHA Youth are still running.

  • Capture location exteriors/interiors

    • Wilsonville HS

    • Grace Chapel

  • Capture footage of weekly gatherings

  • Initial Interviews - While ALPHA Youth is in session

    • Group interviews of students at weekly gatherings

    • Interviews with leadership from each of the three groups conducted separately at three relevant locations

      • FCA

      • Young Life

      • Grace Chapel

    • Any additional interviews from ALPHA Youth facilitators

• Session 2 - 5-7 days - Shot after ALPHA Youth is over.

  • Student Story Interviews

    • Ideal to shoot all three over the course of 1-2 days

    • Three students in three separate locations relevant to their story

    • Ideally I will do a pre-interview with each of them over Zoom ahead of time to have an idea of how to focus the story and to build some rapport.

  • Student Story B-Roll

    • 2-4 hours with each student and a trusted adult to gather relevant b-roll

• Pickups

  • If there is a need for additional shots to fill out the story, I can hire that out to Christian filmmakers I know in the area.

Estimated budget

• $6500 per video

• Additional charges if video extends beyond original scope/plan

• Total – $19,500

  • This includes pre-production planning, travel, at least 7 interview locations, equipment rental, a second shooter some of the time, multiple b-roll locations, and all post-production (editing, sound, music, coloring, etc.)

Alternate Budgets & Scope

• Option 2 - $15,600

  • We can bring the overall cost down by 20% if we only create two videos, essentially combining the messaging of Videos 2&3. This eliminates the need to capture one of the stories of transformation.

• Option 3 - $11,700

  • We can reduce the overall cost by 40% if we shift to a single longer video that covers everything from the three videos but only focuses on a single story of transformation.

Project process

• Pre-production

  • Develop overall story structure and direction through conversation with relevant ALPHA team members and pre-interviews with interviewees.

  • Confirm Alpha’s video visual language and/or style guide, receiving logos and typefaces for use in post-production.

  • Schedule shoot-times for interviewees and b-roll segments.

  • Create shot lists and/or storyboards which will be submitted for approval.

• Production

  • Scout interview locations at least one day before shooting interviews.

  • Conduct interviews.

  • Shoot relevant b-roll.

• PostProduction

  • First edit of first video will be submitted for approval within three weeks of final day of shooting.

  • First round of revisions will be completed within one week of receiving all initial feedback.

  • If needed, second round of revisions will be completed within one week of receiving all feedback.

  • Additional revisions may incur an additional charge.

  • Completed project deadline – TBD
