This is an improvement of the poster. I still need to do some better editing and play around with they colors of the text.

As I'm moving towards the last stages of my production work, I'm focussing all my time on the end results. The poster is moving along well. Some issues with photoshop, but they will be resolved soon.  The video editing is going good. All I need to do now is to take some photos of close-ups of people's faces for my montage.  The website is getting together pretty well. I have finished the home page plus two others. I have done some research into good climate change charities and I have linked them in the website. 

I have decided to use a male character voice as it gives the text more power and demand as the male voice is deeper. The start:  The current temperature is rising faster than ever. Our summers and winters are getting warmer. Cities are sinking as the weather is getting more drastic. Average wild life population has dropped by 60 percent. There's more CO2 in atmosphere than any time in the history. 120000 square kilometers of tropical forests were lost in wild fires in 2018. Do you think the climate change is real? Do you think we need to change? Is it too late?

During my filming with Miss Allan, she introduced me to her co-worker Shawn. He now works with the Ellesmere mere protection group, but previously he worked in the Antarctic collecting samples to help improve with the CO2 levels in the air.  During the interview, he answered questions about whether he thinks climate change is real and what does he do to impact it.  During the same day, I got an interview with a volunteer worker at the mere and some of the student from green-team. It will have good contrast in my documentary as if will show the diversity between same-minded people,  but different age groups. 

As I have started my process of filming I have noticed some small details that I need to take in hand. One of the things is looking at narration. Because my documentary is made in the poetic mode, it doesn't really talk by itself. That's why I decided to try out some voice of God actors. Now I need to decide on which gender to use.  A thing that I failed at was some of the footage I took back home got resized and don't fit in with the rest of the footage. However, I did manage to get some drone shots as well as aeroplane shots which add a good camera angle. This weeks plan is to go to miss Allan and film her working so I can have some background footage to use during her interview.  This is some raw footage that got resized.   This is the drone raw footage.
