=THE DANGERS OF SMOKING=

**Outline**
My project will be about smoking. It will show how smoking can affect your lungs and can lead to many illnesses such as lung cancer. There will be a scene where a teenager is pressured into smoking and gives in, and a flash-forward to his lungs from then to 50 years later. There will be a no-smoking sign that will multiply as more people are smiling. I plan on using flash animation with these scenes, and maybe some iMovie interviews. I will research on this topic, and I really enjoy this topic. I am choosing this topic not for the grade, but to get my message out.

**Animation**
In the teenager scene, kids will be offering another one a cigarette. Then, at first he is uneasy but gives in to peer pressure. You see the kids talking to each other with speech bubbles, and then the boy’s lung appears. It is pure and unharmed. The years will go by slowly in an animation of only the boy’s lung, turning almost black 50 years later. Then there will be pictures of cigarette companies taken from the Internet and animated X but on them. As this happens, a face on the screen will slowly light up after each X. My interviews will probably be kids in Media arts or maybe some teachers, being asked the question; what are your thoughts on smoking?

**Script**

 * Characters**

• Joe, the peer pressured boy- • Clyde, the lead of the smoking gang-Danny?? • Leo, a follower-Liam • Sam, the second follower- • Interviewees-Anjali, Asha,

Scene 1: Words come up on the screen saying, “This is Joe.” Joe waves hello. Then he walks to the end of the screen, which “brings” him into another room where the smokers are. The lockers behind them have graffiti saying things like, ban school. Clyde asks him if he wants a smoke, and he says “Uh, no thanks.” Then Clyde’s friends, Leo and Sam, pressure him into it: Leo: Come on, you know you want one! Sam: Don’t be a wimp, just take one its not gonna kill you. Joe: I guess one wouldn’t hurt…Grabs a cigarette and starts puffing (screen fades out) Scene 2: Joe’s Lungs: A picture of Joe’s lungs the day he started smoking appears from a picture online. An animation with numbers on the top goes quickly through from 2007 to 2057, at the end, showing another actual picture but in through the years, there will be animated drawn lungs getting darker. Scene 1: There is one sad face on the screen. Pictures online of cigarette companies get X’s on them, as the smiley face gets happier. Then an arrow points to the happy face by then, and says, “This should be you.”
