Endangered Animals project

The Bald Eagle 3D Model.

For this project I chose The United States of Americas Nationals Symbol. Also known as the Haliaeetus leucocephalus. It was almost extinct and declared endangered it needed the endangered species act in order to be preserved, today the Bald eagle is safe from extinction. According to the website Eagles.org there are over 9,800 male and female nesting, Its main causes of extinction were Habitat destruction, degradation and illegal shooting in fact the Bald eagle gained protection until 1940 by the congress and it was named “Bald and Golden eagle protection act” it consists of prohibiting hunting of any type towards the Bald Eagle, habitat protection to keep the Bald Eagle safe. Luckily now its species is expanding and is now safe form any danger due to the effort of the Americans.

This image was used for the inspiration of the model.

The purpose of this project was to chose a animal in danger. In order to make a 3D model of the Bald Eagle I used the following materials “Hot glue gun, Foam shapes, Acrylic craft paint, Plastic jar, carton and some feathers.” The plastic used for the jars contributes to ecological and ecosystem destruction through toxic pollutants, also it can take even thousands of years for plastic to dissolve this can cause even humans and animals to actually consume plastic in our foods without even knowing, We should find a alternative instead of using plastic products even recycling can make a big difference when it comes the environment. The foam used for this project contains polystyrene every plastic and foam product contain this material because its used for daily products such as plates and plastic cups. According to sciencing.com we don’t observe the effects because once solidified the unreacted chemicals are trapped and once thrown away it can make way into water life and compromises fungi survival. Glue can also be a harming factor to the environment. According to suretracksystems.com glue is capable of contaminating soil and groundwater, even though this adhesive has low toxicity rates in water It can still have a negative effect on the surface of big bodies of water.

This is the final product after many hours.

After completing this project it made me think about its true purpose and why we need to take care of our planet, including its animals. Over the years due to hunting, pollution and all the harm to habitats the environment has fallen apart, as humans we even depend on the ecosystem and its animals for food sources and yet we do nothing to save it. According to endangered.com there are currently over 40,000 species in danger. Furthermore wildlife balances the ecosystem and the way we live its critical to start conserving it for a major positive impact for the future.

Photography applied in my magazine

 Different images and pictures server to grab the readers attention but also o transmit every sense of what you are trying to portray. During the making of this project I understood that pictures is a from of communication between people in other words a connection. I used different angle shots and places in order to achieve this goal here are some examples below. My goal was to transmit beauty throughout my magazine and I'm confident people will be able to connect with ever sense of my shots.

Microaggressions in films and how it affects my life.

  What is you perception of this Pixar video, what was the message, theme? I think the theme was Stereotype or bias. Because we can see how the small birds treat the big bird differently just because he does not fit in, they start to mock him and then karma hits them and the blue bird starts mocking them. The message was we should not treat each other different just because of our appearance.   Where do stereotypes come from? I think stereotypes come from the social groups we create ourselves. It can start from our race, origin and sexual orientation, some people start by perceiving something different and that becomes the way they treat them. Stereotype can become hurt someone morally, were so used to this that we can guess someone's ethnics and even beliefs. A example of stereotypes can be the single stories, If we tell a story about someone even if its true it becomes who they are to society we have caused this by treating each other in a negative way and unconsciously beli...

Mise en scène Reading

Mise en scène is considered everything related to a certain film this includes its lighting, costumes, voices, actors and décor. During this quarter of school i spent time doing further research on why Directors use  Mise en scène and how they use it, I came to understand that Film Directors make use of this in order to convoy their message to the public and deliver a feeling of curiosity to the public, this can relate to Stuarts Hall Theory because there is something the Directors want us to encode. In other words the publics perspective of the movie may depend on the setting directors have chosen. Example of Mise en scene As shown in the image above this is a clear example of Mise scene use, the props, lighting, costumes and the chosen place may give us a each a different view on what's happening. By observing the chosen vestment I can tell this was trying to resemble a scene from the past and the props also help me...
