Princess Diana By Gabriela Fisher and Jacquie Starr Junior Group Documentary Word Count: 270 Our project is a documentary on our topic which is Diana, Princess of Wales and how she broke the royal barrier. We chose our topic because we’ve always heard stories about how amazing and inspirational Princess Diana was. What really interested us was how she constantly broke royal protocol to care for and help others because no princess had ever really done something to that extent before. For narrowing down topics, we really didn’t really have to narrow anything down because the second we heard the theme was “Breaking Barriers”, we both immediately thought of Princess Diana and once we got that topic okayed we just stuck with it. We started with what charities she supported and what she did for them. Then we researched what her life was like as a mother, wife, and royalty. For sources, There were a couple of sources that we found that were full of resources about her life. There was one source where it had many other sources at the end of the article that led to more sources. At first, we went to the library and we looked for books about her life and work and we found many books about her. Then we had many reliable resources that help us get more done research. We chose to participate in the documentary category mainly because we enjoy working computers with things like editing which is the main part of creating the documentary, and also because one of us enjoys film-making and the documentary category is somewhat similar to film-making.
