Pre-Production

For my Project it took me a while to figure out what I wanted to do. I had many different ideas running through my mind. This made my winter break much more stressful than it should be. The one thing I wish I was able to do was get footage over winter break, but there is no scuba diving in January in New Jersey.

Here is a Florida Short Snout Soft Shell Turtle surfacing at Blue Grotto Dive Site
This is a Spotted Eagle Ray Swimming under Blue Heron Bridge in West Palm Beach Florida

This piece of plastic was found floating in the waters just off the shore at Blue Heron Bridge Dive Site
The reality of what happens to plastic and trash when they stop floating and break down in the water. They sink and get tangled up in sea life like plants and animals

With all of the footage that I compiled I had over 4 hours of footage that I combed through to find the best cinematic shots. This being said going through the footage gave me a good idea of how I wanted to tell my story.
