Our Sustain Champlain Video - Cleaning Bear

Shooting - April 11th

Everyone attended and we shot our film on and around the campus. We will be editing the film this week and submitting by Sunday.

Production - Day Four

Attendees:
Sam, Sierra and Brittany


Sam and Sierra started to create the script. Will need to put in what type of shots and music portions during editing. The dialogue is there. The concept remains the same but we added a little bit more to it. Brittany/Sam came up with the slogan "Be the solution, not the problem."

Props needed for weekend shoot:
- regular chemical cleaning supplies
- one seventh generation product

Here is the script that Sami finished, edit where you lovely ladies see fit (the word document has the bold/italic face font):

SCENE # 9: TEXT ON SCREEN.
Music playing.
Text: A wide variety of household cleaners and products like window and all purpose cleaners contain toxic materials called volatile organic compounds that are designed to quickly evaporate into the air to aid drying. Other common sources of indoor air pollution are aerosol sprays and air fresheners.


SCENE # 10: IMAGE OF A HOUSE ON SCREEN.
Music continues to play.
Cleaning fairy (vo): According the Environmental Protection Agency, the air inside the average home is typically 2 to 5 times more polluted than the air just outside its walls.

SCENE # 11: TEXT APPEARS ON SCREEN.
Music continuing to play.
Text: The average household contains anywhere from 3 to 25 gallons of toxic materials, most of which are hiding in the cleaners we use.
• Americans generate over 38 million tons of hazardous waste per year.
• An EPA study concluded that the toxic chemicals in household cleaners are 3 times more likely to cause cancer than outdoor air.

Sierra: So what can we use to clean the house?
SCENE #13 : ZOOM SHOT CLOSER TO GROUP.
Cleaning fairy: Become part of the solution by changing your approach to cleaning. Use green natural products to help eliminate the harmful effects and air pollutant caused by chemical cleaners.
Sierra: So all it takes is switching over from chemical cleaners to natural cleaners?
Cleaning fairy: Exactly!

Text on screen: Eco-friendly cleaners are not only good for the environment, but good for you. Eliminate hazardous products from your home. Reduce health problems attributed to chemical cleaners. Decrease air, water and land pollution!

Concept:
"Greening the Chemicals at Champlain and at Home"

We want students to take a look at the cleaning agents in their dorms and at school and decide whether or not they are green. Our goal is to try to convince students to replace the cleaning agents in their dorms or apartments with eco-friendly cleaners. Eco-friendly cleaners are not only good for the environment, but good for you.

Here are six videos that we will reference in our Sustain Champlain Video:
