Deforestation

I agree with joe to a certain extent, and I would like my project to focus more on a specific aspect of human's effect on this earth: Deforestation. The term that describes the destruction of forests in order to build roads, clear land for farms, provide lumber for commercial products, etc...

Cutting down these forests effects not only the plants and animals that once called the forests their home, but also has an impact on the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere.

For my video I would like to take my viewer through the emotional process of deforestation by starting with the beauty of a pure and rich forest environment, and ending with the extermination of trees by humans. Sound will be very important to this project. I would like the sound to also follow the process. Starting off with the natural sounds of a forest (wind, animals) and ending with industrial sounds (trucks, jackhammers, chainsaws). As my research continues I am debating wether or not to add poems which describe the feelings of being in nature, and its destruction.
