This week we talked a bit about ecocineme and assignment in detail. In our assignment, we think it is a good idea to make a video. According to Ivakhiv, A (2013) visual media can intensify our feeling of the world. I think it is very correct because a lot of things we might not able to notice. such as climate change. According to that article, movies can help people to understand more about the world. Thus, I think it is a good idea to make a video. Also, climate change is a serious issue in our life. According to the Houghton, J.T., Jenkins, G.J., and Ephraums, J.J (1990) that report was created in 1988 by World Meteorological Organization and United Nations Environment Programme, climate change will affect human’s life a lot such as a greenhouse, global warming. people might think it is too far from their daily life. However, those changes are happening every single time. especially for the young generation because they are young, they do not have a lot of knowledge about climate change. Thus, we think it might be a good idea to target them to be our audience group.

As I watched a video from Kurzgesagt (2020), I got more ideas of how we gonna organize our media pieces. I really like the way they express, for example, they used cartoons to express which makes the video more fun, also, they gave a lot of evidence of how climate change, history records as well. I think in our video we can show that climate change is around us and what can lead to climate change and give more information about it.
