Open Call: Pitch Reels
Youth View: Global Warming (3:30)
Will M - Cambridge, MA
My proposal for the Open Call documentary is to produce a short film about how youth at my school (Cambridge Rindge and Latin) view global warming. I want to get a youth opinion on the importance of global warming compared to other issues as well as find out what they know about global warming. I would also like to find any misconceptions that youth have about Global warming and the media hype surrounding it. Also I would like to find out if the have any interesting ideas on how to slow down or stop global warming. I would do this by interviewing students at my school about their thoughts and ideas on global warming as well as using archived footage to provide factual evidence to counter or support what they say.
Its important to get youth opinion on this issue because youth are the future and will have to live in the times that global warming will affect and I want to show their thoughts on how we should deal with this problem. The movie would have three main sections, what youth know about global warming, truth and misconceptions based on what they know and solutions that youth have to global warming. I would ask them questions like: What is your view of global warming?, How do you think the media portrays global warming? What should governments and companies do about global warming? What should individuals do about global warming? The main points that I want someone who has watched my movie to walk away with are the way youth view the media's portrayal of global warming, youth direct view of global warming as a problem and their solutions to it.
