Artist’s Statement-

For the Unit 3: new audience assignment I created a video essay on climate change. I specifically chose to create a video essay because I believed it would be informational, educational, and that it would get straight to the point. My video essay took the main points of my Unit 2 article as well as ideas I came up with on how to connect my audience to my topic. The main purpose of my video essay was to communicate to my audience the importance of climate change, and how everyone can make a change to help the planet.  

For the new audience I decided to choose activists. I believe the topic of climate change best reaches this audience because activists are already interested in change. In my video essay I made sure to aim the message to activists. 

This process has gone without complications for me. I believe this is because I did thorough research on how to create video essays. The easy part of the process has been connecting my audience to my topic because activists already care about important topics like climate change. I hope through my video essay my audience learns of ways they can help with climate change through everyday actions, and how important and serious the topic of climate change is.
