These are very big and current topics and my worry is that there is so much to look at and discuss about each topic that they will all get a bit watered down. However, an interesting aspect to this idea is that the issues of global warming are linked to many things not just one single cause so developing the project around all the possible causes is interesting. You have posted up a lot of links to environmental studies but you haven’t really commented on any of these in your treatment and not tried to synthesize them down to specific areas of interest. You mention for your middle screen, “The Ice age” but the planet has been through several so try being clearer about what you want to show. I’m not sure you necessarily need to resolve the film to show what you think the future will hold. Leave the audience to think about what you are showing them rather than giving them all the answers? Technically you need to be careful with the footage you are getting, as YouTube videos look bad when blown up against their non-native resolution. Possibly think about using lots of small clips placed all over the image rather than blowing up the images to fill the whole frame.
ReplyDeleteYou have set yourself a difficult task here and a lot of work but I’m confident that with a lot of hours spent gathering archive you can achieve a thought-provoking piece.
