My initial idea for my project was to show the effects of global warming on my home town; Park City, Utah (and therefore how it would affect me).  It’s a ski town and it is vital for us to have good snowfall every year so tourists and locals can ski/snowboard.  I have grown up skiing in Park City and I would be devastated if I couldn’t anymore because of loss of snow.  Because of global warming, the amount of snowfall is decreasing.  I showed a young girl, portraying myself, who grows up skiing and as time gradually goes on, the snow decreases more and more.  I show her as an adult and the snow is almost totally gone.  My last scene shows Park City as a desert with nothing but dirt and a few trees.  If we keep on adding to the effects of global warming by driving cars and polluting, this story may become a sad reality in the future.  :(  The music I chose for this piece was a simple, repetitive beat.  It was happy music, however I think it also had a gloomy down beat.  I liked the irony of the happiness of the music to the sadness of the actual story going on.
