Week 2
In this week, we made our team for our documentary project and added a brief to our blog post.
Week 3
In this week, we learned about Livingstone and Lunt's theory about the media regulation. We also did the research and the statement of intent for our documentary project. We decided to do a crime documentary that involves a bit of cult and mystery.
Week 4
This week, we did a location scout, storyboard and risk assessment for our documentary. We haven't finished all of it, so we have to do it during our weekends. We also learned about the topic called "Power and the media", which is not going to be useful for our documentary, but it should be useful for our media studies exam.
