This Journal was useful in understanding how people react to color. this helped me with my idea in using tints or LUTS to change to warmth of the two individual lifestyles. As such
I decided to go with two colour palettes for the video. One colour palette will represent the gay couples being the blues and blacks and the warmer colour palettes of oranges will be to represent the woman with her child.

As my message is serious and not something fun and lighthearted, any font being used in the last part of the video will be more of a professional looking font like the ones above. these fonts were from 1001 Fonts.

Like the Tones associated with my three inspirational videos i want the tones to be subdued for some parts but not for others. I want the audience to know its about family even only if they could hear it and not see it.

the music, colour grading and content will help to set the tone straight from the start of the video while the content will give it a sympathetic and emotion moving vibe.

# data[].attributes.body
After starting my mind map and thinking about the message I was trying to bring I realized that the target audience I had originally targeted were only a small part of an audience I was trying to reach and that the gay men wanting to start a family was the subject for the matter being presented to my audience which was the nation at whole. For government officials to feel pressured to change the law there must first be some sort of pressure for reform. I realized that this message would have been addressing and requesting change from an a institution that is federally controlled there for it would be an Australia wide campaign.

To help me plan for my video I am going to examine my topic with the 6 thinking hats.

Blue Hat - Process
Because of the setting I wish the video to take place I will need to scout a few different café areas for I want the setting to be at an out door café. I will try and not get the actual café or other people not involved in this project within the shit but i will still require a release for from the café. If i cannot find a suitable café I will go to a local park to act out the scene there. the actors and actresses I will be using are aware of the project and the release documents they will need to sign. I already have all the equipment I need to shot the scene.

White Hat - Facts
I feel that I have all the facts to be able to bring a subtle yet powerful  message to the Australian nation. I actually dd not need to touch base with many resources as I found that just chatting with a few fertility clinics and Anna McKie that it was the complete lack of subsidies from Medicare that built the strongest case for this message.

Red Hat- I really want my video to make people feel compassion and understan din some way what it would be like to have a family denied to you purely on cost. I want my video to sort of have the feel from my 3 example inspirational videos. I want a strong strong sense of family and an insight into how much it can affect gay peoples quality of lifge in being denied somehting so beautful. When the Australian population was given the vote on whether Gay people should be allowed to marry nearly 62% out of the near 80% of the nation who voted,  voted yes (Australian Bureau of Statistics, 2017) meaning that the majority of the nation wants equality for LGBTQI people. while this vote did not have an impact on the possible change to the tax system to accommodate like this change to Medicare might, I still feel people would respond well to this message

Green Hat- Creativity
to be creative for this video ad I wanted to have a setting that's familiar to everyone, this sets the tone that gay people are normal people and do everyday things like everyone else.  I want to creatively sell the idea that life without kids can be really unfulfilling to certain demographics of people. how I will get creative is the use of characters, Paul and Jarrad. their desire within the setting; to have kids. the color grading I would like to employ is slight desaturated tones and colors when its focuses on the gay couple but then warm tones, possible the use of a warm 3 point lighting set up in close up shots. the color differences will insinuate a slightly diminished quality of life and sadness in the missing elements of children for the gay couple. props I use will probably just be the coffees that Paul will set down. I will use different shot sizes to emphasize certain actions and interactions between the characters. The use of sad sentimental music will also help drive the narrative and hopefully evoke feelings sympathy. the voice over will provide certain facts about surrogacy but not in an overloading way, just enough to make people start thinking 'wow that must suck for them'. the tone will be soft, appealing to psychology of effective communication. the call to action will be to sign the made up petition to change Medicare law.

Yellow Hat
the benefits for this video will help people to understand that even though Australia has come along way in changing laws for LGBTQI inclusion, there is still a fair way to go in achieving equality.  the positives to achieving change would be fulfillment for so many gay single men and couples. being able to help these citizens through achieving this life long desire will promote real happiness and improve qualify of life which would in turn help to improve integration, performance at work,  strengthening societal and communal bonds just to name a few. Many positive things can come out of acts of love.

Black Hat- Caution
some of the things that may cause backlash with this video is people that are against the idea. these could include

- Gay men and couples who actually don't want kids, and don't want to be associated with the idea that their lives are incomplete with out children

- Christian groups and activists who still cling to the ideas that men and woman belong together and that's it

- Uneducated individuals who do not understand the scope of the tropic

- Government factions tat don't want this added extra burden on the Medicare budget

- Tax payers who do not wish to pay higher tax for something that has no impact on their lives.

I really liked this video in terms of its recognition of family and how it has used much lighter tones and lighting to help the narrative in McCain being all about family. even though my video will have nearly a polar opposite to this feel I was still really inspired by this. good on you McCain, you've done it again.

The chapter in this book is about understanding audiences and what ways you can go about targeting them. the authors    talk about audience segmentation and engagement which really helped me define my target audience and in what methods are ideal in the current age of technology.

Huang, M-H 2001, ‘The Theory of Emotions in Marketing’, Journal of Business and Psychology, vol. 16, no. 2, pp. 239–247.

This journal article encompassed many authors complied scientific research on the psychological power of emotional tethers used in marketing strategy. It talked about the way humans had four basic emotional states being fear, anger, sadness and joy and that every other state is a variation or mixture of those four characteristics. It also spoke about emotional response, summarizing that because of the way humans can experience so many different emotion feelings, that condensing it down into three categories, positive, negative and neutral is an easier way to map how an add will be designed in association with the product. It gave me insight into how to enact feelings out of an audience to help promote a message or product.

Marie-Christine Lichtle 2007, ‘The effect of an advertisement's colour on emotions evoked by an ad and attitude towards the ad’, International Journal of Advertising, vol. 26, no. 1, p. 37.

in this article the author talks about psychological and emotional reactions to colour and what different people associate that colour with. I found this article very useful as it gave me insight into colour psychology and has given me inspirational ideas in using different hues in different scenes of my video to portray different outlooks on the two different views happening in the video. on the more bleak side, desaturated and slightly blue hues will represent the sadness and longing of the gay couple wanting a child where the warmer hues will be seen when shots of the family with their children are shown.

I really like this video in terms of its tone. It's not about happy family but more about consequence. even though this theme is totally left field to mine its use of voice over and darker tones I really like in its narrative message. Its not a feel good commercial at all and that's the similar feeling I want my audience to feel.

For the first assignment we are to generate Ideas around promoting a certain topic item or theme in which we would have to produce a video which would help to support a message within the item topic or theme. I knew pretty much straight away what I would want to do which is promote the assistance from Medicare to help gay single males or couples to start a family.

I liked the tone of this video, the intense darker contrasts and vibe gives the sense of slight negativity or hostile theme. The theme is that their internet is more reliable than family as the younger brother gets forgotten about and left tot walk home in the rain. This is a good example of a good spin on a negative situation. I also like the themes around Family. my video will be similar in contrast and darker colour's to portray a not so happy theme.

Synopsis: a gay couple are at a café, one longing gazes at a mother with her child, wanting was she has. The other partner picks up on his continued gaze in her direction and proceeds to reassure him that it will happen for them too one day but they would need to keep saving for the surrogacy procedures.

Treatment: Screen fades from black with an establishing shot of a café or outdoors area. soft sentimental piano music will be playing  in the back ground. Seated at one of the tables you see a middle aged man, watching a woman with her small child a few tables in front of him.  It is a beautiful scene and he has a perfect line of sight at her and is gazing at the interaction between her and her child with a small, adoring smile and an almost longing gaze in his stare. his name is Jarrad. Suddenly a figure steps into frame breaking his view of the woman and her child. The angle changes to view the new character that has just entered the scene  his name is Paul. you see Paul put two coffee's down on the table in front of them, with him starting to recite the coffee order to the Jarrad to make sure he got it right before he stops, noting the Jarrad looking and smiling over his shoulder. The angle changes to encompass Paul's face to the left of the frame and the woman with her child to the right of the frame. the focus will change going from Paul's face to sharpening on the woman, and then back to Paul's face. paul has a knowing and yet saddened look on his face he is trying to hide with a reassuring smile. he reaches out and grabs Jarrad's hands, interlacing them with his own.  "hey" he says quietly but with warm inflections in his voice "its going to happen for us one day too," he says reassuringly, but hesitates. after a quick pause he breathes in deeply, as if the thought of having to say this to his partner once again was just killing him inside. he looks at Jarred and smiles "we just have to...keep saving" he finishes, giving Jarrad's hand another squeeze. The angle changes to see Jarrad give a saddened smile as he gives a  resided nod at his partner, giving one last glance over Paul's shoulder to the woman getting up and leaving with her child.  the camera will slowly pan away from the scene looking at the couple drinking their coffee, this will then fade to a voice over with a quick fact about how disadvantaged gay single and coupled people are and how expensive it is to even consider the processes of starting a family. There will then be a more happy note explaining that Families 4 everyone is in the processes of lobbying federal government for change and to please sign the petition. it will then cut back to the gay couple holding a baby reborn doll where jarred will look down at the baby then up at the camera and will say "help us" then will look at Paul. Paul will look in at jarrad and say "to start" then will both look at the camera smiling holding each other and say in unison " A family"

Desire
the desire will be made clear by the audience discovering that Jarrad and his partner paul also desperately want children. This will play upon audeinces feelings about family. esepcailly those who already have established families.

Action
the call to action will be in the form of asking the viewers to sign petitions for their local government to propose bills in the federal system to change the Medicare rebate system for gay couples wanting to start families through surrogacy.

https://www.hrlc.org.au/news/2017/2/28/same-sex-couples-in-south-australia-to-have-access-to-ivf-and-unpaid-surrogacy

This Article provided dates of when South Australian parliament passed the law that same sex couples could access IVF and unpaid surrogacy. This piece of infomation really speaks out to me that this bill really benefited Lesbian couples above all others in the LGBTQI community. when speaking with anna she informed me that heterosexual males also do not get any help from the medicare system if they too want to become a father and need to access egg collection and IVF servces.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Ali and Jo are a same-sex couple living in Adelaide who had to travel to NSW to conceive their children because of the barriers to accessing IVF in South Australia.

"The discrimination in the law makes what is already a complicated and stressful process even more complicated and stressful. Rather than undergo invasive exploratory procedures to assess my fertility levels, we decided to go to NSW to conceive our two beautiful children. We had to save up each time we needed to travel for a consultation or procedure, sometimes delaying treatment because we ran out of money, simply because of these hurdles in the current law. We're allowed to foster children but not allowed to have our own children in our own state - I hope the parliament finally realises that this just doesn't make sense," said Ali.

The Bill also removes the legal barrier to same-sex couples engaging in altruistic (unpaid) surrogacy. South Australia will become the fifth jurisdiction to allow same-sex couples to have children using altruistic surrogacy after Tasmania, NSW, Victoria and the ACT.

"We welcome the changes passed today. It is an advance for LGBTIQ families that is long overdue. We look forward to welcoming new rainbow families to our community," said Andrew Birtwistle-Smith, Chair of the South Australian Rainbow Advocacy Alliance.

# data[].attributes.body
UPDATED:After starting my mind map and thinking about the message I was trying to bring I realized that the target audience I had originally targeted were only a small part of an audience I was trying to reach and that the gay men wanting to start a family was the subject for the matter being presented to my audience which was the nation at whole. For government officials to feel pressured to change the law there must first be some sort of pressure for reform. I realized that this message would have been addressing and requesting change from an a institution that is federally controlled there for it would be an Australia wide campaign.

When South Australia changed the law back in 2018 to allow surrogacy for same sex couples it really only benefited lesbian couples who could be referred by their GP for IVF services and have some of those services be covered by Medicare. For gay and Single heterosexual men, that meant that the initial outlay to even consider having a child would cost 60K+. With the growing cost of living this is a huge added pressure in just trying to bring a life into this world which would be guarantied love and nurturing. These children are definitely  so why put potential fathers through the stress for something that is so accessible  for many others. starting a family should not cost a small deposit for a home.
