Week 6 - Tutorial Activity

This week, we continued to enter the world of culture jamming and developed our fabricated story and fictional video to accompany it :)

Together we decided to take advantage of the current political state our nation is in. A hung parliament creates confusion and frustration, and needless to say is quite prominent in Australian media. Our idea was to build off the federal election and base a story around Australian youth and their annoyance with the election. The manipulation however, was the 'united protest' of young australians who would simultaneously beep their car horns at intersections. 'Honking' provides a voice to young australians that feel they are being ignored in politics.

We shot and edited a 2 minute video which includes footage of honking intersections and interviews with two 'honking' participants. The film was shot on a mobile phone, and hopefully gives the idea of an amateur university news team taking on a real issue that mainstream media may not have picked up on yet :)

This is our News STory: THE HONKING PROTEST
