Video Activism= Short films as an agent of social change.
Video activism has a symbolic relationship with short film as they are short, to the point and deliver a message that someone is passionate about. Company's like Greenpeace and Amnesty International commission specialist short films.
Protest groups use 'Witness video' as a common stragedy to show viewers reality, for example Fox hunting, animal testing, whaling and the brutal beating of Rodney King by police officers in America.
Video activism is an area that interested me so I looked on the internet to find some more examples of videos and found that 'Michael Moore' was a well known video activist and I found these short films by him,
By looking at these short films I have realised that when making my own I don't have to stick to the usual content of a film but can use my thoughts on what is going on in the world today and shoot a short documentary or even use animation.
