As Youth Unemployment in the UK steadily creeps higher, this online interactive documentary will explore the topic through the eyes of the one in five young people living it.
The 1 in 5 hopes will explore youth unemployment in London. With the spotlight on London for this summer's Olympics, The 1 in 5 will concentrate on the capital's unemployment as an alternative to the celebrations.

Recent ONS figures show that youth unemployment is at its highest since the 1980s. 1 in 5 young people are unemployed in the UK, much higher than the one in ten of the 1980s. The viewership of online video is largely a youth audience and with unemployment greatly affecting this group, I thought they would be the perfect target audience for a documentary of this kind.

Using Mozilla Popcorn and various Plug-in's The 1 in 5 will offer clickable links within the video taking the viewer to further information and video content. The main video will be centred on the case studies. Options to view further videos of case studies and alternative interviews will offer a personal interactive experience with every viewers experience, being very different.

This project hopes to continue to develop, if you have ideas that you think might be able to help, contact me.
