Course Project: Global Travel Film—Week 2

Section 1: Europe and Russia

For your Course Project, you place yourself in a scenario related to the development of a global travel film. In this scenario, you are a researcher on the script writing team, traveling with the location scouts. You have 6 weeks to travel the world and scout locations for the film. You will start your scouting in Europe and Russia.

For this realm, you will make recommendations about aspects that should be highlighted. The special focus areas for this realm will be multiculturalism, unification, and/or devolution. You will write up your recommendations for the script writing team, sharing specific reasons why each aspect is interesting, compelling, or important.

To prepare:

· Read Chapters 1A, 1B, 2A, and 2B on Europe and Russia from your course text.

· Consider the major challenges that exist in each of these realms. Some will be common to all realms, such as key resources and their development, human and physical geography, and environmental issues. Others will be more prominent in some realms than others. In Europe and Russia, multiculturalism, political unification, and devolution are key challenges.

Your recommendations to the script writing team need to include the following:

· Important areas to film and highlight. Include a map that shows each location clearly identified. You may want to use color coding or a legend. Include representative screen shots from Google Street View, if available, for each location. For quick tips on how to create screen shots, see the document Creating Screen Shots in the Week 1 Resources area.

· Insights and observations related to the special focus areas for Europe and Russia: multiculturalism, unification, and/or devolution.
