The story reveals how Pete ended up living on the streets, what he has to share with the audience, and how he becomes &#8220;the library within the library&#8221; by sharing his life experiences and offering advice. The interview also unveils the harsh reality of homelessness, illustrating how easily one can find themselves on the streets. It emphasizes that homelessness is a societal issue and highlights the fact that everyone &#8220;has a story.&#8221;<br><strong>Script<\/strong>:<br>Questions are on white text (font: lucida grande), on a black screen:<br>\u201cPete was a successful<br>entrepreneur,<br>until his finance partner<br>passed away\u201d (text)<br>\u201cHe started a business<br>in \u201978, sold it in \u201994,<br>Invested $1.6 million<br>on a Ponzi scheme<br>and is now on the streets\u201d (text)<br>Question (text):<br>\u201cWhat business advice<br>do you have for us, Pete?\u201d<br>Pete: If you want to create your own business you should take a few lessons in business itself, which I didn\u2019t really do.<br>Question (text):<br>\u201cYou had a big business,<br>do you consider yourself<br>a successful business person?\u201d<br>Pete: As far as being a business person, I am a failure, really.<br>Question (text):<br>\u201cPete, tell me about you\u2026how do you spend your days?\u201d<br>Pete: It varies, there is a song \u201cevery day is a winding road\u201d and it is with me, I am sure it is with everybody here, whatever is happening, it is not expected.<br>Question (text):<br>Can you share<br>where you stand<br>in the journey of life<br>at the moment?<br>Pete: You know, I am 88 years old, and in 3 months I am going to be 89, so I can\u2019t complain- that\u2019s another thing about advice, you know, I never thought I\u2019d live this long so I didn\u2019t really plan on that either, I shouldn\u2019t complain about that\u2026 (smiling)<br>Pete closes his notebook.<br>Final Text: \u201cPete is one of over<br>16,000 people<br>calling the streets of<br>Broward County, FL,<br>their home.<br>Every one of them<br>has a story\u201d.<br>Thanks- interview copyright, music CC.<br><strong>Background:<\/strong> Informed by my own experiences in a library setting, this project seeks to illuminate the lives of those grappling with homelessness, mental health challenges, and poverty. The objective is to present Pete as a multidimensional character, challenging typical stereotypes and fostering understanding and compassion among viewers.<br><strong>Character Development:<\/strong> Pete was a successful businessman who had a nice, comfortable life. Bad investments left him homeless after COVID. Pete seems to also be happy with his life overall. He is open to expressing his feelings, and as a side note is eager to brush up on his French (he takes additional lessons in the library), has a great sense of humor and some not so great friends.<br>Media Assets:<br>\u2022 Media that will be used: three cell phone (2 iphone, 1 android) cameras with tripods, and wi-fi microphones.<br>\u2022 Existing song (audio), library setting\/ closeups of Pete in the library (visual), text based on Pete\u2019s quotes (visual), as per the storyboard.<br>\u2022 NOTE: The video will be original (Interviewing Pete in the library).<br>Reflection:<br>My project employs an inductive approach, distinct from the deductive methods I could be using if I was choosing another treatment (II). In hindsight, it could potentially be easier for me to choose a general concept, translate it into a narrative and then work on specific photos and media to match this overarching concept. Instead, I am interviewing Pete, a homeless individual who frequently visits our library (see copyright consent attached previously) and have built my story around that interview. This direct engagement with a specific individual&#8217;s experiences allows me to gather nuanced, real-life insights. From Pete&#8217;s unique story, we can extrapolate broader themes and understandings about homelessness, moving from the specific to the generic. My project&#8217;s strength lies on the 4 very important questions I ask Pete, hoping that his answers will be thought-provoking for the viewers, based on his personal real-life experiences.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Resources:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Educational Video Copyright Release Form&#8221; signed by the interviewee.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Audio credits:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/freesound.org\/\">Freesound:<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/freesound.org\/people\/GregorQuendel\/sounds\/714266\/\">Beethoven &#8211; Moonlight Sonata &#8211; 1.
