Final Minor Project Proposal: Securing
our Future
My minor has evolved and
developed considerably since the beginning of this project. Originally I
planned to look into the post apocalyptic future of our planet and I wanted to
show my thoughts on how we would get there and if there is anything we could do
about it. What would destroy the human race? At the time my main focus and
interest was researching overpopulation and what would happen when the earth
reached maximum capacity.
Furthering my research into
overpopulation lead to Statistician Professor Hans Rosling and the organisation
he has produced over the years; Gapminder. After watching a documentary of
Rosling demonstrating how much information we are either unaware of or
misinformed by the media, made me decided on my final idea. I would design a
film promoting the world of Gapminder and use my own research and data as
supporting evidence.
My target audience
includes all people who take an interest in the wellbeing of our planet and
those who wish to do something about it. Although from the information I have
collected and from watching Gapminder and Hans Rosling portray how misinformed
we really are, I feel everyone should be made aware of the truth. My aim here
for my audience is to promote further research into Gapminder and educate
themselves on the statistics of the world. For everything is not as bad as it
may appear.
Using adobe after effects
to create my final film for this project proved to be difficult and
challenging, as I had not used the program for a while but I could not be
happier with the outcome. I gathered my audio to support my film from YouTube;
Coldplay’s Atlas. However, I found the lyrics to be too distracting from the
graphics and information needing to be absorbed from the film. So I instead
found an instrumental version of the song, which was attached in after effects.
Having finalised my film I feel I now have a much stronger grasp on the
mechanics of adobe after effects.
Before I began developing my final film, I experimented with different textures and effects and produced a tunnel sequence that I originally planned to use in my film.
