CHARACTER CHRONICLES: THE CARING CONNECTION

It is good because it shows how we can care about others. "Nick and Kassandra showed what they did to help other people and that we should show people we care by helping them." "It made me think about what I can do to help other people or to show them that I care." "It was motivating to see Nick with his handicap and how he didn't give up but started helping others. Also, Kassandra was very smart to come up with the idea to help foster children. It was interesting and held out attention."

The Character Chronicles is an ideal film that KIDS FIRST! stands behind because it dispels rumors about youth being selfish and lazy and it shows a sense of equality towards the gap between child versus adult. Particularly enjoyable is the youthful approach in this informative video. The topics discussed are simple themes such as the importance of caring, however the kids' passion towards the subjects and examples they talked about held a certain depth and power. The example at the beginning in which the boy rushes off to meet his friends and ignores his little brother is a good example that hooks the viewer. It's something we've all been guilty of. However, the boy handles the situation and fixes his mistake in a way that sends the message that even though we're all imperfect, we still have the chance to fix our mistakes through caring and kindness. Excellent editing and use of effects. The pacing is fast with plenty of attention to details and cutaways, which make it a wholly interesting piece. Highly suitable for children because the content is about children taking a stand to better society. It puts children in a position of positive power and expels negative stereotypes. As an educational video, the compositions and b-roll are highly beneficial to the production quality. Again, the editing was really good and no shot was too long or too little. The picture quality, audio, and overall design of the video are clear, engaging , and interesting. This video gives children hope that they can make good things come out of bad situations. The little boy who lost his leg could've chosen to be angry and depressed because of the misfortune, however instead he chose to accept his loss, work a little harder, and start living his life again and helping other kids do the same.

Indian blogger, Shiv, shows inspiring stories and teen discussions to demonstrate that caring is about doing, not simply feeling. He encourages other kids to become caring people by doing caring things.
