In these units, you will be identifying an issue in your local area that you will then research, plan, produce, and edit a short documentary film for. As part of the unit, you will also carry out a variety of different types of interviews for research into your topic and the form of your documentary, and will include a variety of types of interview in the edited documentary itself.
The issue needs to be an issue that is related to specific local issues (e.g a hospital closure that would impact a particular group of people; particular crimes on the rise; a group of people in your community who are under represented in the media and suffer discrimination, etc). The intention of your documentary would be to highlight this issue, and to seek to impact on 'social change'.
