Place is central to both Princess Mononoke and Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind because the landscapes are not just backdrops, but a character within the story that effects he characters, conflicts, and themes. In Princess Mononoke, the forests embody the tension between human industry and the natural world, every choice the characters make is influenced by the sacredness, beauty, and fragility of the land. The people of iron town see no issue in running the surroundings if it helps support their progress. The spirts of the forest value the land and want to protect the natural landscape at all costs. Similarly, in Nausicaä, the toxic jungle and the Valley of the Wind drive the story forward, reflecting both the dangers of unchecked human exploitation and the possibility of harmony when people learn to coexist with nature. In both films, place symbolizes the deep interconnection between environment and humanity, reminding us that the survival of one depends on respect for the other.

Each of these edits have dynamic transitions, great colors, and a high level of editing. My end video aims to emulate parts of each of these, incorporating different aspects while adding my own touch.
- situation – whats the starting point
- desire – what does the character want
- conflict – what gets in the way
- change – what happens that shifts something
- result – how does it end
I am going to create a video on the amazing natural wonders close to large city developments. I am going to show downtown Orono, with cars going by, people walking and how load. Then we will talk less than 5 minutes through the woods to the gorgeous Penobscot river.
- situation – Downtown orono, “city”
- desire – To escape and enjoy the beauty of nature
- conflict – not knowing about it
- change – leaning about your surroundings and whats around you allows you to escape in nature
- result – finding and being able to enjoy the gorgeous nature
