Who was to blame for the start of the Cold War?
Is television documentary a reliable historical source? Can you
tell different stories from the same sources? How important
is editing, image selection, narrative and music to the creation of
meaning in historical documentary? |
Student documentary group work production.
Students divided into teams with the task of producing biased
history documentaries which either blame the USSR or the USA for the
start of the Cold War.
Each film should demonstrate through inclusion the importance of:
archive film, archive photographs, graphics, music and talking
head historians. |
