INVESTIGATE

INVESTIGATE:

The task was to create a documentary which would inform, persuade or entertain an audience. I chose inform and persuade becuase I dont think that watching videos about drinking an driving is very entertaining. The reason why I chose to do a documentary revolved around teenagers and drinking abuse, is because I personally feel that the school does not do much about it. Every year each middle year class has a 6 week course on alcohol and drug abuse, and I dont think it is very informative, or convincing to students, especially the ones that do abuse alcohol or/ and drugs. That is the problem to me. Before I actually deided to do this, I did some background reaserach, I asked my classmates if they thought if the six week course was effective or not... the majority said not completley. Once I finalized that I wanted to do a documentary on teenagers and drinking I used various media as my recourses: videos and internet. I did a mindmap which helped me to find my rescourses effectivley which covered every subtopic in my documentary, for example a subtopic was long term mental effects; I looked up information specifically about this topic, and in the end only used 1 small piece of information, but never the less valuble and informative. My specification was that students were convinced by my documentary that stoping abuse of alcohol can save lifes, and that I ha to keep on track with my time line.
