Our B-Roll so far is an abstraction of how life as an opioid user, or as a family member of an opioid user, resembles the up and downs of a roller coaster.

This film will analyze the presence and absence of art within the Lehigh- Valley by exploring visual arts of Arts Quest, specifically the Banana Factory Arts Center of Bethlehem and it’s effects on the development of the community.

Interview Pitch:

I am interviewing Mike Donnelly one of the captains of the football team, originally a walk-on now scholarship player, an economics major, brother, and son. Through Mike I hope to highlight what it takes to be noticed. Coming from a Freshman walk on to know not only a leader but a scholarship athlete is an incredible feat that probably had many highs, many lows, and all in between. Mike possesses a great deal of tenacity and passion something that drives his football career and his everyday life.

My first interview with him is Friday, October 27^th. We are meeting at the field house with the hopes of getting the interview either by his locker or in the football house. I will ask him about his family, his overall football history, what his path to the top looked like, what drives him, what inspires him, if he has any pregame rituals. With all this information, I hope to convey what skills he possesses that led him to success and how these skills can be transferable to others.

First off, I want this interview to stay about Mike and not have his spotlight taken by Lafayette football. I hope to show what his life is like on and off the field. While I will be getting footage of him in the field house I hope to also get him doing other day-to-day activities. When interviewing him I will focus the camera on-axis so to the audience it feels like they are having a personal conversation with him. I hope to get b-roll of him at practice, how he acts around his team, and anything else he does on campus. I am going into the first interview with broad topics I would like to talk about and open-ended questions. I am hoping that as we get going I can find more of a path. I want to take a relaxed approach to make Mike feel more comfortable with opening up.
