alright

After class presentation last Monday, I realized my concept are too broad and I need to narrow it down.

So right, I decided to only focus on show cases of globalwarming (the shot with GPS technology to find an area that produces lots of pollution)and also using facts and infos from mags and newspaper article.

Another point that I want to more concentrate on is the causes of globalwarming, instead of reviewing all the causes, I thought it would be better to focus on deforestation ( where the process of deforestation, cutting down the trees until they become many newspaper), also another cause is the fact that factory also got a place in producing pollution.

The last point that I want to more focus on is how to prevent global warming? The only answer I wanna say is use bicycle as a vehicle.

After I watched some videos from current tv (thx to tarwin), I thought I might categorize my project as a humorous + a bit of irony, but also educative and also this will be presented on a social campaign TV program. The reason for that because this video is targeted to young audience that needs to be educated (for globalwarming issue) in straight forward terms. In terms of the audio, I've chosen a fun background sound like a bird warble sort of thing and also a voice over explaining more about the issue (globalwarming).

MMD 3308 (Open/Self Driven Brief)


Aim: To remind human in the world the danger of global warming.

Brief: To make a short clip documentary about global warming.

Concept:

In relation to what subtopics/areas in this project that will be explained (mostly using visual graphic content and can be supported by the use of text animation:

• Specific Information about global warming

- Definition of global warming
- Causes by global warming
- General Impacts by global warming


• Show cases of global warming

- Show series of pictures/edited video that can prove that global warming is happening and will be a serious problem.
(Technique: by using GPS technology as a simulation to track where the areas that are get impacts of global warming.)

- Show an accurate information about Global Warming from other sources
(This could be a paper cut from magazines or newspaper that has article about Global Warming, This material will then be scanned and animated).

• Show examples that are believed as the cause of Global Warming

- The use of Air Conditioning, the increase of Carbon dioxide, Greenhouse gases, the use of paper and material from wood, pollution from transportation and also the use of electronic devices.

• Examples of incidents that will happen if Global Warming destroys the world and its population.

- Land will be smaller than the ocean due to the polar ice is melted
(This scene can use a 3d simulation to show different techniques and style)

- There will be no extra Oxygen left in this world
- Climate will change dramatically





Technique:

To tell a story about Global Warming using range different techniques and skills, mix of media such as 2d and 3d animation, Motion graphic, real live footage and also traditional technique (hand drawn image, scanned material and stop motion). All those techniques can be supported by the use of text to make the information clearly sent through this project.

What is Global Warming?

Increase in average temperature on Earth’s climate & oceans due to natural greenhouse effect caused by the greenhouse gases is said to be the global warming phenomenon.

From the day human started using fossil fuels, CO2 (Carbon dioxide) in the atmosphere started building up. Being a green house gas, CO2 can trap the warmness from dispersing to the sky. This speciality of CO2 now results in global warming.

Impact of Global Warming

Global warming can affect both plant and animal species. The major impact of the global warming will be decrease in polar ice caps, which results in rise of ocean water level, which in effect brings low lying cities under the sea.

The increase amount of fresh water can also affect the flow of Thermohaline circulation, the ocean current powering our climate. Hence any change to this current can adversely affect the world’s climate. Hurricanes of large magnitudes, floods, droughts and other extreme weather anomalies are the predicted results of global warming.

Global warming also results in ice-albedo feedback. When ice melts, these areas will either become land or ocean. Both land and ocean are less reflective and can absorb large
amount of heat. This in turn warms the climate and results in more melting of ice. Thus global warming can increase the effect of global warming.

Its time to start posting on this blog for MMD 3308 assignment, even Im not there at the moment, but will catch up for all things next week when I get there.

As john and tarwin emailed me and gave an instruction for what I should do, I have read the brief and since its an open brief and self driven project, i thought its the best time to explore my skill to do kind of project that ive never done before.

I was thinking to do approximately 5 minutes in duration of a documentary clip. The aim of this clip is to tells a story, investigates a hot issue in the world today, like for example of a case Im thinking now is GLOBALWARMING. Sure that I have to collect plenty of information, text, picture, video and sound to do this project.

those images above are some examples of still images that ive collected from my research. just to give a rough idea of what I wanted to do, in terms of theme and technique.
