research

When i got the brief i needed to research global warming itself. the first few questions that came to my mind where:

• what is global warming?
• whats causing it?
• how can we stop it?

All the answers to these questions relate to our carbon footprint. so firstly i was thinking about transport and how that affects the world, with all of the emissions and the amount of cars on the road, the amount of single drivers in a car on their way to work, school runs. We have become a lazy nation choosing to drive 5 minutes down the road to tesco instead of walking for 15 minutes! 

we cant stop global warming but we can prevent it from getting worse.

These lead me to look at global warming images and how these can scare the public or make them believe that global warming is a myth. 

All of these images have one thing in common they are there to impact on you, make you realise what is happening and to stop and take it all in. The image with the road signs is most in your face because you cant not look at the bright yellow signs telling us that if we carry on the way we are living we're going to destroy the planet. there is proof that sea levels are rising due to ice-burgs melting and this has led to storied such as the world's largest cities becoming the next "atlantis"

Looking at these images and researching into global warming i was thinking about transport, and then when i thought about the government adverts for healthy living i decided that i want to base my animation on food. This came from my initial idea to use our carbon footprint in the way we travel and this lead to my thinking of all the emissions we use transporting food all over the world, so why don't we reduce those by growing our own food and not waste it!
