Introduction As a social documentary filmmaker, you may have heard about Thailand's crop burning ban and its impact on air quality. In this guide, we will explore how to document this issue in an ethical and responsible manner. 1 Understanding the Context To start, it is important to understand the cultural and historical context surrounding crop burning in Thailand. Traditionally, farmers burn their fields after harvesting rice or other crops as a way of preparing for new planting seasons. However, this practice has become increasingly problematic as it contributes to air pollution and health issues. 2 Researching the Issue To document the issue effectively, you should conduct thorough research on crop burning in Thailand and its impact on air quality. Look into government policies and initiatives related to the ban, interview experts and stakeholders, and review academic studies that provide data and evidence. 3 Identifying Key Stakeholders Identify key stakeholders involved in this issue, including farmers, policymakers, scientists, environmental groups, and affected communities. Reach out to these individuals or organizations for interviews or feedback on your project. 4 Developing a Storyline Based on your research and stakeholder interactions, develop a clear storyline that captures the impact of crop burning on air quality and health outcomes in Thailand. This could involve showcasing both sides of the issue, such as farmers who rely on this practice and policymakers working to find alternatives. 5 Choosing Appropriate Tools When choosing tools for documenting this issue, consider using drones or aerial imagery to capture wide views of affected areas, interview subjects via video calls or virtual meetings if necessary, and utilize audio equipment that can handle loud outdoor noises while still recording high-quality sound.
