Making of the video
I used my iPhone 13 ProMax. The iPhone has an exceptional camera and is easy to handle and use. It does not require a lot of equipment that needs to be carried around and is discrete. The most difficult part of filming was around town. Setting up a tripod and attempting to shoot any video coverage was interesting to say the least. Everyone wants to know what you are doing and what the video is for. Unfortunately, a lot of the individuals that I would have liked to get into the video footage did not want to cooperate without some sort of “payment”.
I used ClipChamp to edit my video. It was easy to use and understand. The most difficult part was figuring out how to get it saved so I would have the correct link to embed within my blog post.

Hi, this Jenny and I’m here with Faith from New Beginnings and we’re going talk about homelessness in Culpeper. Faith. What can you tell me about homelessness in Culpeper? homelessness, in Culpeper is definitely a bigger problem than what people realize. There are many individuals that are chronic have homeless for five, 10, 15 years, and then there’s a large population of people recently, experiencing homelessness due to the job economy. The housing market, not being able to find affordable housing and availability or becoming evicted because they’re unable to Maintain their rent. What is? A housing. So, affordable housing is supposed to be housing that does not exceed about 33% of your monthly income. However, most housing in this area for low income, for one bedroom apartment runs. Starting at about 1100 dollars, and for someone that may be like on disability, that’s only making about 900 dollars a month. They don’t even make enough to make the payment. Let alone only a third that. So do you think Affordable housing will help the homeless population. Think affordable housing will help the homeless population if actually becomes affordable if they base it more on a sliding scale based the individual individuals income rather than on percentages of the national average or the regional average. And the actual population of this area is right. Well, thank you, faith. For enlightening us on homelessness. You’re welcome.
