Doing What We Do: Positive Peer Productions Investigates "Audience"
February 12, 2014
The youth that make up EMEAC's Positive Peer Productions were recently back in the classroom working on their documentary!
This time they investigated "audience" by answering questions like: Who is the target audience for their documentary (2-8 year olds and their families)? What do the Positive Peer youth know about themselves and their communities? What conclusions can they draw about their audience based on their observations?
The conversation this workshop inspired was extremely expansive (as you'll see in the video!) and covered everything from what responsibilities filmmakers have to younger viewers to irritating media stereotypes about Detroit youth. Youth know about their communities and their lives and they definitely have opinions on all of it!
