Part XX: I got 99 problems but a pitch ain't one

Today I was purusing my blog, looking over all the amazing posts, pictures and things I've done. I've come to realize that I haven't shared the pitches for my films a.k.a what the films are about.
So here they are!
Theme (given out by Parks Canada): Jobs at Parks Canada
I am going to be following Nadia Menard, a marine biologist, who is in the midst of an extensive research project this summer. She is trying to determine why there is a fluctuation in the number of whales that visit each year. Since the whales are pretty much the Park's rasion-etre, her research is especially important in the conservation and economic domains (tourism is the number one industry because of the whales). She is using echolocation to track the whale's prey and track the whales, seals and birds that all feed off of it.
She has a great personality. Today when we were on the boat looking for fish shoals, she leaned over the railing of the boat and started chanting, "here fishy, fishy, fishy!" Also, she speaks English. Bonus.

Theme: The natural beauty of the Park
Now this one can come off as just a series of glory shots but I have a storyline that will be interesting to stick to. Most people see the St-Lawrence as a huge garbage can. They think it's full or pollution, corpses and snowmobiles, but that's really not the case. The St-Laurent-en-Directe program run by Parks Canada shows people the wonders of the sea floor. They send a cameraperson and a biologist diving into the St-Lawrence to show the tourists a live feed of the creatures of the deep. The best part is that the visitors can ask questions to the biologist underwater and ask the cameraperson to go left, right, up or down.
Combined with the beauty on top of the water that the tourists usually see, it should provide a pretty nice picture of why this area should be protected and respected.

Theme: My own choice!
For the video of my choosing I was really helped by my Intermediate TV professor Jacques Grenier. He turned me on to the idea of doing a Globe Trekker style video. This is a kind of adventure into the unknown (except I know all about it, the viewer is discovering along with me) that is the Saguenay fjord. I'm going on a three day kayak expedition down the fjord learning about the history, geography, industry and ecology of the fjord. Since the fjord is often overlooked by the tourists and largely untouched by man (there are no roads along the fjord, only boats and walking paths really have access) it's kind of a journey into the wild. I will of course have a trusty assistant/cameraman/pack mule to aid me.

So what do you think?
Also, I am feeling massively dizzy because I was on a boat all day. I still feel the waves hitting me.

Don't have a good picture for today so here is a shot of the fjord stolen from CBC.
