Oil Trains
In our video we created a news report focusing directly on the oil train situation directly in Philadelphia and surrounding areas. In this video my partners and I discussed that the issue was and there were two directly affected citizens in the skit as well as two reporters. One of the anchors was on ground zero with the oil trains and protesters interviewing their point of view on the issue, and the other was supposed to be at the broadcasting station all aware of the oil train issue. Overall I chose this topic because it was so close to home, and the effects could affect all of us. But I really chose this because no matter how big the issue is you tend to really not hear about it. Honestly I did not hear about oil trains being a threat to the atmosphere and life until I did that research. If one of these trains blew up it could create an explosion that could destroy the atmosphere immediately.
In my group I was represented as a news anchor. My role in the script was the one who introduced the news station and asked my fellow reporter Menlenda questions because she was the one on the scene. I gave examples to why water is essential and how with the chance of an explosion water would be affected, and we use water for very essential tasks and just living period. I also found out how to use imovie and the green screen so I was able to edit the video also. I also at points when needed recorded. I did well with making sure I was distinct and easy to understand in my video. I think I could of did a better job with getting all my shots done with one take because if you pay close attention I think my clothes changed 4 times in that one video which is supposed to be one day. The most meaningful is the fact that this can really open awareness. I believe if someone maybe just one person is touched or this can actually change something is pretty interesting. I like this because it finally taught me how to use and operate a green screen.
