INTERACTIVE DIGITAL JOURNALISM

EXPLORING PUBLIC OPINION OF 3 CONSPIRACIES


    • Produced a short-form “Top 3”-style video exploring conspiracy theories.

    • Researched, scripted, and directed the piece with a volunteer voice-over.

    • Filmed Vox Pop interviews with staff and students to capture real opinions.

    • Used experimental editing and YouTube-inspired style to create an engaging mini-documentary.

    • Asked the people around me what kind of conspiracies they were interested in.

    • Created a shortlist aimed at a casual, general audience.

    • Researched each topic carefully, avoiding biased sources.

    • Merged my own ideas with YouTube conventions (eerie music, big captions).

    • Viewers are guided through short factual bursts, followed by public opinion.

    • Key idea was to allow the viewer to make up their own mind.

    • Ended with a a short reel of expert clips, covering both sides to make it as balanced as possible.

    • Generated strong engagement among students and staff.

    • Stimulated discussion and debate around the topics presented.
