Videos for Environmental Change
As our climate continues to warm we must all take action. Videos and social media are powerful tools to gavanizing people to act and change behaviors. In this workshop we will look at a variety of videos that address issues of climate change and pollution, from governmental PSA's to cleanup challenges. We will discuss which videos we think are the most effective and why. Then together we will come up with our own video ideas that address specific environmental problems and inspire actions. Working in groups we will create production plans and storyboards for each of these projects, identifying our audience, point of view, tone, message, and a circulation plan.
