Jimmy Williams: Final Project Proposal

My final project would be a video about the challenge of affording a Catholic education in the current economic climate. The hook would be that the bad economy affects almost everyone. We have all had to cut back on things as of late. And this story would especially relate to  families who are trying to put their kids through college in today's world. I would go to the school I work at, St. Bernadette Catholic School in Silver Spring, to carry out the project. The story arc would be to start by talking about the school, system and problem as a whole before getting more specific to hopefully interview the parents of a student who have had to cut back and get creative to keep their child in school and ending with a broader look at where the economy and educational affordability could be going . People who would possibly appear would be the school's principal, a teacher from the school and parents of children at the school. A possible headline could be: "Doing whatever it takes to stay in school." Estimated length of 3:30 or 4 minutes.
