About
Students from DMU and the London School of Public Relations in Jakarta will collaborate to engage in projects that record the oral history of individuals, families and their lives.
Participants will be divided into production teams with the provision that each team contains at least one member form each university.
Students will record audio testimonies, background and effects and edit this alongside still images – photographs, drawings, maps etc. These recordings can be used to construct an oral history of memories and perceptions to be preserved as a record for future generations. The recordings will provide resources that often may have different perspectives and memories to those usually found in written sources.
The project will follow a documentary model of production with research, filming and editing being the identifiable stages. Students will gain invaluable experience of establishing a co-production with an international partner. They will also gain further production skills, and exposure to a different culture through collaboration with students of a different country in addition to the planned tuition on how to set up global co-production project, storytelling and research skills.
The work will be eligible for submission to the proposed Oral Histories strand of the #SDGFilmFest in June 2022. Content will also be delivered to a You Tube channel.
