introduction
The Hipocondriacos (hypochondriacs) collective born in 2011 on the initiative of 5 young Venezuelans, in search to establishing an encounter between teaching, use and diversification of audiovisual language to many people, has as purpose to be a platform for positive change through these tools. Since deliver workshops audiovisual and develop documentaries on cultural and social area, and we have been in charge of the work of develop projects to give opportunity to people with disabilities or in any social or economic disadvantage to show their realities in the process of visibilization into society.
Hypochondriacs is also a window to the encounter between people and information, establishing his testimony like a firsthand opinions source. It is a collective in which young people from different disciplines unfold and is also a platform for multiple services, where the development of scripts, historical research and documentary films are the main bases we use to conceive the different realities that our societies have.
We can see the development of these skills in the "Dinamizate" (boost yourself) section, which is nothing more than a meeting between reportage and documentary film. A platform that proposes changes at the moment of handling information and create a real dialogue between the public and broadcasters.
The report and documentary film are visual tools used by developers to document and disseminate a concrete reality. However, these realities are just point of views from the "Interpreter-communicator-writer" to the receiver, making the dialogue between people and the media in something vague and superficial. Therefore, the information is received many times with little margin of objectivity and it is lost the function that the media should play today: To capture the problems of society from those who live, from the same level.
Therefore, to reach the level of objectivity, the amount of views reunited must be maximized. Therefore, "Dinamizate" works in an interactive scheme of cooperation between civil representatives, analysts and the general public.
The work plan proposed in "Dinamizate" is simple, it works through the following steps:
Step 1: By studying the historical context of our realities, researchers from "Hipocondriacos", making a analysis of the facts in constant change, they choose a specific topic which can develop and construct. This issue has to be relevant in the current plane.
Step 2: The researchers specialized in the historical discipline, draw up a report on the topic by the look and the information collected by them. Each one draft an article ( two max) about the subject of specific research, give their point of view, and this will be exposed for initial part of the discussion of the topic of study in question. (For example, sexism in contemporary societies or the international migration process.)
Step 3: By way of census, we investigate the social space in which this reality unfolds and interviewing members of civil society that are within a given population, as well as, if necessary, those who do not belong to it . The interviews will be recorded and later be taken as a reliable source of reality investigated.
Step 4: After the publication of articles, the videos with the interviewees are also published. With the sources of support about the issue put on display, we made a interactive and open forum, in which all interested persons can give their opinion as seen in the information in the sources offered it will open. Thus, not only inform of linearly way about the fact in itself, but we will achieve a better witness to the realities that are experienced, heard of those who every day walk among these: people.
Step 5: We will use additional tools such as vote counters, graphics, among others, being always open to the possibility that interested persons who wish can suggest the topic as well as the tools that we can use in discussing these issues. In short, our ultimate goal is to be a real mediator between public opinion and the media.
In other words, "Dinamizate" as part of the activities from "Hipocondriacos" seeks to establish a new way of looking at information and how we interact with it. One way in which the news, reportage, documentary, and research itself, is not only seen from the viewpoint of "illustrated press officer" or "omniscient cathedratic," but that the conclusions of the topics will be made by those who write the story in invisible way every day in their walk through life. Of all the protagonists of the same story.
Because in "Hipocondriacos" we are sick without being so. And we know that information can become ill, but will always be necessary.
Expect more news soon, and welcome to this space, to everyone.
