my beach project


What I am discovering about this project is that it is harder than it seems, there is a lot of wor needed to be done. I am planning on doing a video and finding people to interview, it very hard because when you call them they're either not there or they're not answering their phones, which is cutting into my video time. Once I get all my interviews it will be easier for me and I will have a good product. Some surprising things that I found out about this project is how dirty the beach water is. I did not realize how unclean it was until I researched and actually test the bacteria levels in the ocean. I also found out that plastic holders from cans and bottles get into the ocean and when sea turtles swim through them and because of that it affects how their shell is when it is fully developed. I also found out when interviewing random people at diferent places they usually do not want to help. Which was surprising to me because I would want to help some one with their project if they ask. My next steps to make this a better project is to continue editing what footage I do have for my video so I can make it educational with a good meaning and also entertaining so people would want to actually watch it. For my writing I would like to continue to get critiques manily from teaches so I could get a better critique and end up with a better paper. Like the video below I would like to make a ponit not show to much info just enough or else people will get easily bored by it.
