The Documentary unit challenges us to creatively and truthfully portray a person, group, or an idea. For the Junior Documentary Project, students will portray an intriguing person, group, place, idea, or issue, gathering primary and secondary research sources to develop a distinct perspective about their subject\u2019s significance in the community and\/or world. The research-based paper from English serves as the copy for the magazine article in Design and a film, commercial, and website. This unit emphasizes narrative-style journalism.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
My documentary project, however was severely altered by my limitations from the COVID-19 pandemic causing me to shift my focus to the “The Impact of COVID-19 on Students” I spent time scheduling interviews with students on my block, as well as interviewing others over a set of internet calls.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Our Mockumentary films were a precursor to the documentary project. In groups of three, we were tasked with creating a mockumentary to help practice the technical aspects of documentary making. All events in the film are 100% fiction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
