Filthadelphia, PA

Our video features interviews with students and teachers. We named our video “Filthadelphia, PA” because of how much the littering problem and filth has taken over our city of Philadelphia.  We were able to get many different perspectives on the littering problem in Philadelphia. We chose to cover the littering “epidemic” in Philadelphia because we understand how big of a problem it truly is. Everyday walking through our neighborhood, seeing trash makes us feel truly ashamed, especially when it is not much for us to do about it. We wanted to understand how other people felt about trash being in their neighborhoods and the type of effect it could have.

I was in charge or interviewing the people featured in the documentary. I also made the script for the voiceover featured in our project. I feel that I was an effective interviewer that asked the questions necessary in order to get our message across in the video.

I asked very good questions during the interviews. I believe I asked thought provoking questions to our interviewees. I also feel that I did a good job of picking a wide range of students and teachers to interview. I wish we could have got more footage of Philadelphia for the video.

The most meaningful part of this experience was interviewing Mr. Rosen-Long who gave an interesting and very different perspective on the littering problem in Philadelphia. He changed my idea of why there is a litter problem in Philadelphia. I won’t explain what his perspective was because it is featured in our video which I hope you will check out!
