- The document is diary entries from a student documenting their process of creating a 10-minute documentary for a class project on the culture of the digital age. - They created a survey to understand their target audience's demographics and preferences, which indicated an interest in true crime and serial killer documentaries. - Research was conducted on documentary genres, themes, and equipment. A rationale presentation was created and feedback was gathered via another survey. - Filming was completed over 2 weeks. Editing in Premiere Pro presented some challenges with file sizes and importing acting scenes. A 4 minute cut was finished along with documentation of the process.
