Diverse Dating (MED6213: Media Innovation)
Please Note: Applications are not open for this show, thanks for your interest. This was created for one of my university modules (MED6213) and was between October-December 2021. This was filmed on 14th December 2021. All measures against Covid-19 were followed in line with the UK Government advice. This included social distancing and weekly testing. Nobody tested positive before or after filming. A unique reality dating show that challenges the genre’s conventions by putting young British singles from varying cultural backgrounds on a blind date with an unlikely pair. Through the art of conversation, the couples decide whether or not they would like to see, and later go on another date, with a person they have never seen. This improved my skills in camera operating and editing.
