Script revision
Script revision means cutting to the essential. Documentary work is mostly deciding what to leave out.

Voice and Video Production
You can now put words in anyone’s mouth on video. So the rules matter more than the tools.

The big idea
Students produce a short documentary-style video using synthetic media, while working through the ethics: whose likeness, whose consent, and what the audience is entitled to be told.
Why it matters
Students will meet synthetic media constantly. Producing it responsibly, once, teaches more than any warning could.
Unpacked
What you will actually learn
Three core ideas, each taught with worked examples and then practised until it feels obvious.
Synthetic media
Synthetic media covers generated voice, faces and video, and requires understanding both capability and consequence.
Disclosure and consent
Disclosure and consent are non-negotiable: label synthetic content, and never use a real person’s likeness without permission.
Did you know?
Several countries now legally require AI-generated content involving real people to be labelled — regulation catching up with capability.
Common mix-up
“It is obviously fake, so no label is needed.” Obvious to you is not obvious to everyone, and clips get shared without context.

Project lab
Documentary-style micro video
Every module ends with something the student built themselves and can demonstrate. This is the piece that goes into their portfolio and gets explained out loud at the end of session 48.
Try this at home
Add a visible synthetic-media label to your video, then ask a viewer whether they would have known without it.
It is finished when
- It works from start to finish without breaking
- You can explain every part of it in your own words
- You tested it and improved at least one thing afterwards
- Someone else used or understood it without your help
