SDG Asia Workshop

Hi Anish,

Well, take a look at the latest effort from LDC: https://participativelearning.org/mod/forum/discuss.php?d=250#p1481

It opens with the map to provide context, and it introduces the overall idea with a highlight on the SDG goal, or goals.

After that I would go to the drone shot of the terraced farming, then the shot where you talk about agriculture hit by changing weather.

Then go into the farmer making biochar, and after he's finished all the steps of making it you could show a single diagram (perhaps the static one with the four quadrant comments, then animate the popup caption in the middle).

Then, the before / after shot of the crop growing better with biochar, and Peter suggested a shot with the farmer holding a plant up and zooming into the thick roots of the plant with some caption about how biochar affects the growth of the roots.  There could also be some mention about "a cheap, locally produced fertilizer that uses all natural ingredients".

Finally, the closing shot of the woman "convincing farmers to use biochar".  This shot could be a good closing shot, but in the video you have now the rhythm isn't right, and it feels abrupt.  

That could fade into a closing shot with the SDG Asia project logo on one side, and the YFEED logo on the other.   Refer to the LDC video for an example.

Try a slow fade to the symbols, or you could try freezing the final frame of the woman teaching, turn the still frame into sepia tones, and then fade to the symbols.
