My topic for the group project was about South Oakland. South Oakland is important because it is where all the college students live. Many think that South Oakland is dirty, unsafe, and infested with pests. South Oakland is has also become known as a dirty place. In an article on Pittnews in 2014,  the dirtiness of South Oakland is talked about a lot. For example,  a resident named, Wenger stated stated a problem for the litter is that the trash is “collected on Friday mornings, just after the unofficial beginning of the weekend”. Because most students don’t party until Friday night the trash will again continue to grow on Friday nights and on Saturday nights. In order to prevent this, trash trucks should not pick up the trash until Sunday nights allowing for a cleaner South Oakland.

In order to show how dirty South Oaklands, our group would use Adobe After Effects or Adobe Premiere. We would take videos of South Oakland during the weekends at night or during the day. We would do a before and after comparison, showing what South Oakland should look like and what it looks like at night. Because at night, that is when all the parties begin, one could see just how dirty South Oakland becomes. This is due to all of the parties that are being thrown and all the annoying people littering their beer cans rather than throwing it in the trash.
