Video Pitch

For my video story I would like to report on the Indian festival “Diwali” also called the festival of lights. This festival happens once a year around October/November and this year it will take place on November 14^th. My previous subject for the radio story, Sakshee Sharmaa, comes from India and celebrates her culture here in the USA. My idea is to document her dressing up and getting ready for this festival that mostly takes place in one’s home. I believe visuals from her traditional outfits and makeup would be nice to see, and the narration would be more focused on what Diwali represents and its history.
