klipfontein project

The interactive documentary that Karen and I will be doing, will be targeted for adolescents, primarily between the ages of fifteen and seventeen. We want our documentary to be centred on the youth of Klipfontein road, past and present. Our aim will be to try and educate today’s youth of the happenings on Klipfontein road, which affected many youngsters in the eighties, and we also want to take a look at the young people working and living on the road today.

I think one of our main traits that will be a strong feature in the documentary will be the use of photography and how we can incorporate images to create an interactive story, which will be helpful for the kids who will be using our project.

Our recurring theme will be the juxtaposition of the past with the present. This will be echoed through our images, the look and feel of the documentary and the stories that will be told.

Think I will try and visit Klipfontein road during our vacation and take some pictures. Just to help me get a better idea of the environment and the people.
