Map Projections Video

  • Make a short film (30-60 seconds) depicting a type of map projection.
  • The film should explain how the projection depicts the earth on a flat surface.
  • It should describe the benefits of the projection (who would use this projection?)
  • It should also depict some of the shortcomings of the projection.
  • Don't only use maps as your background.
  • This is a very dry subject, so try to engage your audience through their emotions. (This isn't easy)
