Film/Video Production, How Informed are you?

For this project my group decided to interview people to judge how informed they are with issues in the media. It was a Rick Mercer type report where we would tell people completely false information to see their reaction and also to judge how informed they were about whats going on the in the media today.For this project I filmed the video and helped with the editing. Everyone in out group did an amazing job and we all worked so well together. Everyone did their part and I think we got some great coverage! I was surprised to find how easily people believed what they were told. No one doubted the information we gave them, some agreed, and some disagreed, but no one stopped to ask questions, no one thought critically or logically even when we told them the obvious problems with the "new legislation." For example, we told people that Canada had passed a law for a tri-marriage. Even though gay marriage has not been approved, and polygamy is illegal, people still believed Canada would pass this law. We even told the people we interviewed this, and they still believed that a tri-marriage law ad been passed in Canada.
It was quite funny to see how easily everyone ate up the information we gave to them. Checkout the video at: http://www.teenagemediastudent.blogspot.com/ under the title Faith in News Media.
