This International Life- A sketch and a timeline.

In an NPR, "This American Life" style, we want to set up a series of videos that would illustrate what it is to be an international school teacher. We will interview teachers in the MAET program regarding their experiences, and how their lives have been thus enhanced. We will focus on the rewards and difficulties of living and teaching in different cultures.

We have brainstormed a number of questions to use in our interviews, aimed at carrying the audience through the experience of becoming, being, and blooming as an international school teacher.

Monday afternoon: interviews; researching still images that portray some of the ideas we need,
Tuesday Morning: editing and reworking the video footage. We will incorporate still images and decide if we need voice over. More video footage, if needed.
Tuesday afternoon: Storyboard "perfection."
Wednesday: Crunch, cram, get it all done. Re-work, re-visit, re-edit. Get it all done early enough to go out for a drink.

Here's an outline:
