The effects of pesticides on fruit and other agriculture

OUTLINE- In this movie I will be talking about the effects of pesticides on agriculture. I will say how the pesticides effect the agriculture itself as well as how they effect the environment. I will mention why people use pesticides, and what they are. And then I will talk about how buying organic foods can really make a difference. However I will still mention all the good things that come from pesticides.

Chracters- Kevin-Farmer Ben-Pest Jim-Pest Patty-Pesticide Me-Camera Man

Scenes- Scene 1-will not be filmed Scene 2- I will be filming in the front of the school by the pond Scene 3- I wont be using my own film, but maybe some clips from the internet.

Acts- ACT 1 Will show some delicious looking strawberries. I will put text up, "don’t you want some?" Then next I will show some of my pictures of pollution caused by pesticides.(dirty water,diseases caused by pesticides, and animals who are being affected,honey bees and frogs) and other awful things. I will be using my pictures and animations. I will make text showing the exact amount of pesticides being used on food.And what pesticides are used most.

ACT 2- I will put text that explains the good uses of pesticides"Pesticides were invented to help, not to hurt. Pesticides can help to create more food, and kill dangerous disease carrying insects.") I will show all different types of pesticides(insecticides to control insects rodenticides to control rodents, herbicides to control weeds, fungicides to control mold and fungus ,antimicrobials to control bacteria)Certain pesticides that are used on food can have effects on the endocrine, nervous, and immune systems of human beings. Since the pesticides can some times be scattered by rain wind or water they can find their way into the fresh water supplies. I will be showing a video of a farmer is struggling to grow his crops because of pests(Jim and Ben) Kevin:Man it's so hard to grow these crops with all these of these pests Me:Why don't you use pesticides. Kevin:Well how do they work? Me:That's not important, Just use them. Kevin:Ok Ok fine Patty will show up and take the pests away. But then I will show patty near the pond and show how it could affect the water. I will say how certain pesticides are helpful but some could be dangerous to nature and even your health.

ACT3- This will be the section which suggests buying organic fruits and vegetables instead of regular ones. I will use a you tube clip of peanut butter jelly time as organic fruit. Then I will show a picture I made of un-organic fruit.I will explain that even though it is more expensive it is much better for the environment and you. And finally I will say that pesticides can be helpful but we need to be able to make sure they wont harm anything before use.**
