 * __THE EFFECT OF GLOBAL WARMING__**

Lots of people don’t know about what is happening on Earth. Global warming is happening very fast, and most people don’t know what it is. Big places like New York, New Jersey, and California will be affected if the water rises. Homes, buildings, and other things in these states will be under water. I have a house out in New Jersey that in 50-75 years will be completely under water. I want to make a movie using a video camera about what is going to happen to these places if global warming keeps up. I will add pictures from illustrator in between footage of the Hudson and East Rivers in New York and of the bay I live on in New Jersey. I will draw pictures of what will happen and what has happened. I hope that this video will inform people of what is going on.

 * Scenes:**

1. Introduction: Logo shows. I will introduce the idea of global warming. I'll say how global warming is happening and and what it is doing. I'll narrate: "Global warming is a problem that has to end. It is happening because we are releasing so much carbon dioxide into the air, making the atmosphere thicker. As the atmosphere gets thicker, the heat released by the sun gets trapped in between the Earth and the atmosphere. When this happens, the Earth gets hotter and hotter causing the following problems." Act 1: I will stand in front of the Hudson River and describe what is happening in the glaciers. I will do research on the Internet and narrate while shooting footage of the Hudson River. I will say: "Global warming is something that has been happening for many years, but until recently, it was unknown to many people. Some people know that the Earth is getting hotter, but most people don't what it is doing. The glaciers in the Polar Ice Caps are melting, causing the rivers and oceans to rise. If the oceans rise too much, it will start to flood the land on the coast. As the oceans get higher and higher, it will flood more and more land until huge parts of cities and states are underwater. Unless we do something, eventually, there will be no land left above water." 2. Different pictures: I’ll draw pictures of the glaciers melting and of the oceans rising. 3. Act 2: I’ll shoot this act behind my house in New Jersey. This act will be about how the oceans rising will affect houses and buildings. I’ll research how fast the oceans are rising and what will happen to houses that are on the coast. I'll narrate: "Global warming is going to make many families and business move to different places. In 50-75 years, the ocean will rise about 1 foot. That doesn't seem like much, but once we put CO2 into the atmosphere, we can't take it back. So if we don't stop global warming, maybe not now, but in a couple hundred years, cities and states will be under water. Everyone will have to move inland and places will become overcrowded. Big countries like the U.S. will lose so much land, and all the people who live on the lost land will have to move to another state or even another country. It will also happen in other countries. The world will lose massive amounts of land, unless we do something now." 4. Pictures: I can take digital pictures of where the water is now and photoshop it to show where it will be in the near future. I will make other pictures as well. 5. Ending: I will talk about how we can stop global warming, or at least slow it down. I'll say: "There are many different ways that we can stop global warming. One of them is to just turn off the lights. When your not around your house, turn off your lights. Another way that won't stop it but will slow it down is to take mass transit. If everyone drives cars, we use up much more gas that if everyone gets onto buses and trains. Trains and buses still use gas, but they are much more efficient than cars. One last way to slow down global warming is to buy energy efficient lights and other appliances. If we don't do something now, in a few hundred years, we are going to be underwater."

Sami's Comments:
 * I like your topic a lot. It's very important to talk about it.
 * I think it's good that you are using a lot of Photoshop.
 * I think the ending is good because you are giving the audience ways to help prevent global warming.
