Introduction<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

“How do you creatively and truthfully portray a significant person, group, place, idea, or issue in the community?”<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

For the Junior Documentary Project, we learned how to portray an interesting person, group, place, idea, or issue, connecting it to different research sources to develop a unique perspective about their subject\u2019s significance in the community. The research-based paper from English serves as the copy for the magazine article in Design. In film, you can choose to do the same or different documentary subject. This unit emphasizes narrative-style journalism.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For my documentary project in English, I did a profile article on Michael S Malone who is an author, professor, and journalist. He is very educated on the history of Silicon Valley and so in my profile article I researched Silicon Valley’s past and trajectory. In the end, this paper is very interesting and I learned a lot more about the area I live in and it’s impact on a global level. I was inspired to write about this topic from the book, “Seeing Silicon Valley: Life inside a fraying America” by Fred Turner and Mary Beth Meehan. In this book they did mini profiles on different people living in Silicon Valley and shed light on the hidden truths of homelessness, big tech companies, and more. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mockumentary<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The mockumentary project was a group project that allowed us to practice our new documentary skills of filming interviews, b-roll, rule of thirds, before our actual documentary project. This assignment was really fun and it also prepared me well and I could learn from my mistakes before my making my documentary film. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
