In films, you are capturing the viewer through music, pictures, narration, etc.; I wanted to combine these things to create an informative video that thoroughly explained and inspired change. I know that viewers must understand the problem before they are truly able to care or make a change. When watching my video, viewers are presented with the tools they need to not only change themselves, but others around them. They learn about how they are directly causing ocean acidification, as well as how easy it is to lessen their negative contributions. If viewers learn only one thing from this video, I hope it is that they have the ability and chance to make a difference. They can help the ocean because they need to help the ocean. During the process of creating this film, I did hours of research, learning things that surprised and horrified me. Prior to this, I had no idea what ocean acidification was, or why I should care. However, after learning that a dead ocean could be only decades away, I realized that not only do I need to change, but we all need to change. This issue hits me hard because I live in Maryland, where the fishing industry is crucial to our economy. What would happen if blue crabs had a mass die-off? We started this disaster, and we can stop it. Do your part in helping to stop ocean acidification!
