This week in class, we had to create a World of 7 Billion video. We were explained that the worlds population is constantly increasing and the world might not have enough resources to give to us if we keep going at the rate were going at. After being taught that, we were given several subtopics and I decided to do my video on deforestation. I did my video on deforestation because it seemed like something logical to do. Deforestation is really bad for the planet because it takes away resources needed not only by us, but by other animals in the ecosystem. It is especially bad in the amazon because it is home to many tribes who have lived there for centuries and now it is being taken away from them when they already have their own cultures, languages, and families.
If I had to change anything about my project, I would most likely just do another voiceover. The voiceover I recorded was decent but I don't think it was the best it could have been. I knew I could have done better but we had to start the video rather late and it was due relatively quick. Other than the voice over, I think my video was fine.
Like I previously said, the timeline did not really work out in our favors because we did not have a lot of time to finish the video. It was super stressful working on the video knowing it had to be the best it could while under the limit. It definitely brought down the potential of the video which is pretty stressful.
I also had to work on the video individually rather than in a group which had pros and cons. The pro was that I had pretty much complete control of it and I could have taken it anyway I wanted which was nice. The con was that I did not have a bunch of creative ideas helping me out so there was not a lot of time to brainstorm. I like working on videos in groups just because its a lot easier for everyone and the potential for the product is a lot higher than working solo.
