Chao Cac Ban!
For the rest of the year we will be learning about making and editing videos, with a focus on documentaries.
What is a documentary?
A documentary is a non-fiction film with the purpose to document or record some aspect of reality. It's facts. It's basically like a persuasive magazine article, but on film instead of written in a magazine. It has similar features.
What documentaries have you seen or do you know about?
This is week 3 of the term. In the remaining 8 weeks of the term you will be working to plan, write, film, edit, and produce a short documentary.
Today's assignment is the following:
- get into groups of 3-4 peopl
- talk together to choose a topic for your documentary
- start an email to Ms. Kris with the names of the people in your group and your topic
- Answer the following questions about your topic in the email as well
- What have I not yet been told about this subject?
- Is everything I have been told the truth? How much do I need to verify/prove?
- What would I personally like to know about this subject?
- If I were a member of the audience, what would I want to learn about this
subject? - What can I find that is little known on this subject?
- What information can I gather that would aid the filming process?
- Send the email to Ms. Kris
- If there is still time left in class, start researching your topic and figuring out what you're going to say in your documentary - be sure to take notes so you're ready to get started next week!
