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.
