Reflection

We came up with the idea of Nature vs. Technology and how nature makes us feel after my brother, Ryan, and I went on a camp trip and hiked to a waterfall. Furthermore, we often stayed home and were glued to our phones. We felt idle and disconnected. This was also our inspiration for our work. To explore the Contest theme, Connections to Nature: Looking Inside, Going Outside, I thought of a problem that my brother and I both have: spending too much time on our devices. Then, I dug deeper into my ideas by researching, including familiar facts and statistics. These facts deepened my knowledge and built the foundation of the film. I also wanted to create a News Reporter theme because this film is informative, and news reporters typically inform people. So, my message to those viewing my video and reading this reflection is to savor your time with nature because in one second, nature can be ruined, and so can your physical and mental health.
