TreatmentIn this PSA, we focused on contrast: juxtaposing the dreamy, ethereal beauty of a coral reef with the devastating effect of human-caused pollution and climate change in coral reef bleaching. Since this process is happening currently on a global scale, we chose to depict this in a powers-of-ten reveal at the end of the sequence which leads into our call to action.
