1. Starts off with the camera angling up towards the sun which is just blinding. The we see someone wearing a winter-coat, hats, mittens, and a scarf. Then a zoom in on the neck/face and see sweat beading up. I think this would be a good part to start off our interviews from people on the street because it could show some misconceptions about what the average person believes about global warming.
2. We could film animals (polar bears at the zoo, or everyday animals like birds etc.) and then have that fade out effect happen. So it would look like animals were disappearing which is a possible consequence of climate change. This would probably be best for the consequences section of our documentary.
3. Someone dressed in a suit booting you out of your house for no reason. This would symbolize animals loosing their habitats.
4. Scoop of blue ice cream w/ green sprinkles on top of a cone melting and then it falls off at just splats on the ground.
5. It should be a sunny day once again and we zoom up to a little patch of grass with a nice flower in it. We hear some nice frolicky classical music in the background and then the music changes to some more intense impending doom kind of classical music. Now we see a magnifying glass come into the shot and the sun light is reflecting off it into the grass burning it a little. We could have some overlaying text saying “This is what’s happening now. We are stuck in a green-house situation.”
I think whichever metaphor we choose should be put towards the beginning of our chapter of the film because it’s like a hook. It would just flow together best if it was towards the beginning. Out of the metaphors I’ve came up with I think the first or the last one would be best because they are the most developed and have a lot of variety.
