For the Junior Documentary Project, we were challenged to take a deeper look at something meaningful to us, and figure out how to tell its story in an honest and creative way. The central question for this project was “How do you creatively and truthfully portray a significant person, group, place, idea, or issue in the community?” <\/p>\n\n\n\n
To do this, we dug into primary and secondary research to build an understanding of our subject and develop our own angle on why it matters to the community. This became the foundation for other creative pieces, like our magazine article, and, for me, a film. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
My documentary for English class, was about the significance of AI in Court Reporting, and whether or not it is replacing court reporters entirely. I was inspired to write about this because my grandma knew a lot of shorthand, when I researched further into shorthand I came across stenography, which is the type of transcribing that court reporters use on specialized keyboards. Then, after reading many articles, I discovered that there is a court reporter shortage, and I wondered how AI was affecting that. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
