Streaming Artefact

Our group decided to make an artefact based on recycling for students in portsmouth. This would be done by making a short film, and for entertainment purposes, using a 1960's style. We decided this would be a good idea, because in different towns, there are different recycling schemes, and different towns recycle different things. New students or existing students coming to/or are at Portsmouth University, need to know what they CAN and what they CAN'T recycle. There is not much guidance when you arrive in Portsmouth as a student, and we thought that if this is done through an entertaining but educating video, students will know how to recycle properly and follow the guidelines of Portsmouth City Council's recycling scheme. So the genre would be edutainment, because it is educating the students of portsmouth how to recycle, but in an entertaining way. We will conduct research into Portsmouth City Council's recycling scheme, produce a short film, and create a website, containing information as well. Hopefully the council will then use this film to educate students on special recycling talks etc.
