Living Sustainably
From the point of view of a student filmmaker, I felt this topic was an important subject manner for my final year project, As the theme deals with environmental issues and the effects of climate change and how we can help reduce our carbon footprint and help the effects of climate change. I feel this is an extremely topical issue for people of our generation as we are the future and the ones who are responsible now to initiating change and reducing the environmental crisis. I wanted to present this information to the viewer from people who are practicing sustainability in their everyday lives and who are not profiting off doing so which will be more sincere and inspiring.
The purpose of storytelling through documentaries is to educate and inform people through factual story telling of real-life events and real stories. I feel personally that the topics of this documentary are extremely important, and the nature of the documentary applies to the everyone and people should be educated on the issue and need to be aware of the impact that we as individuals have on the environment. As these topics are very on trend right now and are being highlighted a lot more recently in the media, I feel that this is a good time to make this documentary about this topic and that is extremely important and relevant in the current social climate. This documentary is highly relevant for people of my age group as we are the once who are initiating change for future generations.
