Ext Dip 1 3 Minute Wonder Documentary Project 2015


'3 Minute Wonder' Project (unit 27)

Working in groups of three you will create an engaging three minute documentary video based on a person or a group of people with an interesting story to tell.  Think carefully about who, what and where you can film, for example your video could focus on a particular hobby or local community group.  

 
Your film can be entertaining, thought provoking, educational, personal, local or universal; you decide but make sure you consider your audience and are aware of the resources available to you.

‘3 Minute Wonder’ is a documentary shorts strand that followed Channel 4 News on weekdays (currently not being commissioned). Commissioning Editor Kate Vogel described the ‘3 Minute Wonder’ format: “It's important that the trajectory of the films feels absolutely suited to the three minutes so the form and structure of the film is crucial…. Above all I'm looking for ways of telling big broad universal stories in miniature…” 



Successful films will be entered into the Walthamstow International Film Festival
