- My first idea for the video-reporting pitch would be an adaptation of my radio pitch to chronicle the way that the volunteer organization Pajama Program is adapting to Coronavirus. They have gone ahead with hosting virtual reading parties, rather than in-person events, on their instagram and Facebook using influencers, regular volunteers, and program workers. These would make excellent sources of B-roll, and could be supplemented by zoom interviews with program workers and other volunteers, or broadened to include the actions taken by other volunteer organizations to adapt their work to our current situation.
- My second idea would be to speak to people currently hosting and participating in online concerts as musicians no longer have a source of income from gigging and in-person appearances. I know of a few who go live regularly, and many independent music sources are hosting “virtual gigs” with several people going online in succession. This would provide a variety of source videos, and potential zoom interviews.
