Inspiration

During this week, I am still thinking about the story of our video. Since we have decided to make a commercial for the Kids Help Line. I have watched a few similar advertising videos for Kids Help Line or other similar organization. These videos used to have a common feature -- first present a story, usually about a kid's problem, and he felt very confused or hopeless. Then the logo of the organization and the phone no. would appear on the screen. And say chilren can call them any time when they have a problem and the organization is here to help them all the time.

This video is a production of a final year student who studies in film school. The video is stunning. The concept is very clear that people should call, if they have problems. Since there is no second chance for life and they should seek for help if they had worries or problems in stead of commiting suicide. The ending of the video brings me surprise and the actors act very well too. However, I found it's opening is too long, so a little bit of it can be cut.
