Military Moustaches

Video is bookended with Óglaigh na hÉireann tiles front and back. The opening shot is drone footage of The Curragh. The first part of the video will be shot with members of public relation branch who are partaking in Movember. We will film our respective pieces in our own pods.

Aim is to create a piece so people will dig a little deeper or indeed just donate something to our gofundme page.

We will do a piece to camera in each pod, starting with a motivational line. We will explain our roles (An Cosantoir & AVS) and we can show pages of magazine/cool pictures and then AVS will make a 20 to 30 second showreel of content we’ve shot. This will give people a taste of what we do and show how diverse the DF is.

After the showreel, we will talk about the purpose of the video. We will provide a voiceover where we speak about how vital funds will be used. This voiceover will be played over footage Karl already has of Ronald McDonald House.

When the narrative is finished playing, B Roll footage fades to black.

We close off with another motivational quote of ‘helping others’

This will be said by every member saying a word each and it flows until the sentence is said, fade to black.

Bookend.

The mission of RMHC, Ireland, is to provide a Ronald McDonald House in order to support families whose children are seriously ill in hospital.

With the global pandemic, our standard revenue streams have been really effected so we need any help we can get. (Can add/take away to above)

Mixture of both pods, we take one word from the below quote, the camera is right in our face, intimate shot but showing the moustache and the meaning behind each word we say.
