Wednesday's class was mainly focus on our progress towards our final project. For our final, we have to make a 2 to 3 minute video that shows sustainability in our environment.
We drew up a creative map to where we want to go with our final project. We all sketched out the slides we are going to have in our videos. Only once have I done this prior to this project. I find it helpful in some ways and in other ways I feel like the project could eventually take a mind of its own. I say this because accidents and mistakes happen while making the project, which can lead to unintentional work. Sometimes you can create something great this way. I wouldn't bet on that happening which is why I still believe it is a good idea to draw out your projects.
What I am doing is having a overall concept of "what simple living means in your environment."
I plan on interviewing some of my friends for this project, asking them that question. So I'm showing through out the video that simple things can make an impact in the world. Things include, donating and shopping at thrift stores, growing your own food, using public and alternative transportation more, enjoying nature for reduced energy usage etc. etc. My overall tone for this video is for self reflection in people. People should think about themselves and see if they contribute to a "simple lifestyle."
This generation has an excessive need to indulge in things that are unnecessary such as watching massive amount of television, internet usage, fast foods, shopping at huge corporations etc. etc. I want to convey the idea that less is more and the simple things in life can do good for the environment and lead to a happier life.
Jimmy explained that some of us might not be into this project but to find some passion within the project and create something we enjoy. For a while, I've latched on to idea of simplicity and minimalism. My main concept came from this, wanting to explore this idea more. I was able to find something I enjoyed that was is school assigned project!
