Digital short

Here is my completed digital short.

Story board

I want to add more photos and I'm still on the hunt for more. I also need to come up with a good hook. The ending shouldn't be too hard. I'm going to use audio from an interview with a social worker and somehow incorporate some statistics into the first few slides.

Digital short overview

I'm about using audio clips of my interviews with social workers during my digital short. I'm planning on using mostly photographs to coincide with the subject a worker is speaking about. I'm going to include social worker's answer to questions such as "Have you ever been burnt out?" or "What were the causal factors?". I haven't nailed down the exact questions yet. I'll probably use some statistics of various social issues that workers have to deal with also. I still have time to work out the details.

Intro: The Fried Social Worker

            When we think of the American workforce, we think of businessmen or businesswomen, teachers, secretaries, bankers, nurses, and fast food employees. As we drive through town, delivery trucks, 18-wheelers, and construction crews are visible and going about their daily duties. Less noticeable are the social workers that are tucked away in public schools, the department of children services, homeless shelters, nursing homes, hospice services, hospitals, and mental health agencies. They attempt to help others deal with their problems and pain. Social workers see the bruises and scars of abused children, the track marks from a heroin needle, and the bandages of a burn victim. They listen to the schizophrenic homeless man or the returning veteran who can’t cope with post-traumatic stress disorder. Additionally, social workers are notoriously underpaid and overworked. How do social workers cope with this combination of stressors?  How do they prevent burnout in order to continue helping their clients?
