Training for 2024 Doctoral Students: Producing Videos to Explain Their Thesis Subject to the General Public
The main aim of the DocuSciences project was to give doctoral students from the École Doctorale Sciences de la Mer et du Littoral (EDSML) the opportunity to produce a video to explain their thesis topic and raise awareness about a research issue. The doctoral students were accompanied by two professional documentary makers, the artist Pauline Hegaret and the director Tanguy Alanou.
The doctoral students were able to devise a script based on their research issues, while selecting the interviewees and filming locations. They then learnt how to use video editing software to produce a highly professional end result. This theoretical and technical knowledge is undeniably an additional asset for these future professionals when it comes to communicating their research topics to a wide audience.
In just one week, they devised the script, selected the people to be interviewed, prepared the interviews, drew up the sequence, then carried out the filming and ‘de-rushing’ right through to the final edit!
This video deals with the paleoclimate and was produced by Adrien Stella, Raquel Flugel and Léa Kerouedan.
