FULL VIDEO ^^

For my Senior Capstone, I created a film about SLA. I always had an interest in film, but never truly had a chance to create a film of my choice. My goal was to create something for others not part of the SLA community to view and gain a better understanding of SLA Beeber. I began collecting small clips and videos for my film. Throughout my time filming, I also conducted research on how to use my iPhone to create a film and how to film creative shots for my movie. I conducted interviews and asked questions to get the full experience of someone part of the SLA community. I then began to edit and piece together a layout for my movie. I tried my best to use motion and music to relate to each other. I shared a portion of my video at New Family Night and everyone loved it. I am most proud of this because I worked very hard and ultimately my goal was to share with families and students interested in SLA. I hope to continue to share this video with new families in the future. I loved seeing everything come together. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do!

Provide a summary of the contents of your video and a rationale for why YOU chose this topic, in paragraph form. - In this video, you will learn about water pollution, its causes, solutions, and how you can help. This video also shows people in the community who make a change to actively and positively affect water pollution. I chose this topic because, after the most recent chemical spill in Philadelphia, I felt it was important to inform people about the water they drink.

What did you do well and what could you have done differently? - Something I did well was editing the video and providing as much information as I could in the video. I think that I could have filmed more visuals because there are more images than I expected to be in the video.

What was the most meaningful part of the experience of creating the PSA? - The most meaningful part of the experience was doing the research and the impact that the shared information will later have on people.

a. How do the earth’s systems affect each other?

When it comes to the earth’s systems affecting each other during a mudslide the geosphere is the most affected. The vibrations from a mudslide shift the surface of the ground and disrupt the slope in the ground.

b. How can an understanding of environmental science aid in handling natural disasters?

The understanding of environmental science can help us prepare for natural disasters, help us repair what was destroyed in the land, and also help us know why the natural disaster occurred. Environmental science also helps us learn how human interactions affect the earth as a whole.

c. What efforts can we make to create a sustainable future?

In terms of prevention of mudslides we can stop construction and fracking that disrupts the earth’s ground and slope to prevent any major movement in the group and soils.

d. Your reaction to your findings and overall project

I wasn’t shocked about what I learned, but I was more intrigued about what I learned about mudslides, especially how fast they happen. I was a little bit surprised at the effect mudslides have on the environment, such as disruption of homes, forests, etc.
