Degree Project 2019-2020 Delia Boghian

This video with general audience, will be addressing current outlawed situations leading to serious consequences, penal and environmental.  This will be a video made to sensitise and sensibilise a wide category of different age ranges and cultures. It will be mainly dedicated to nature lovers, environmentalists, people who love to travel and visit new places, people who are interested in preservation (natural, but cultural too). https://fractalenlightenment.com/36263/spirituality/the-benefits-of-tree-hugging-connecting-with-the-healing-vibrations-of-nature This video will be a product which can be watched on a normal TV or computer screen and historically speaking, the most appropriate dissemination channel for this type of short documentary (containing a conclusion or an appeal in its structure) would be social media platforms, Facebook mainly. The movie will not be longer than 5 minutes, though I am planning on structuring all the information in such way that the nar...

"Known as one of the most haunted forests in the world, it’s not a stretch to say the history of the forest is shrouded in mystery, and separating fact from legend is as easy as untangling the forest’s twisted and warped foliage.  It is believed that peasants were killed in the forest hundreds of years ago and now the area is haunted because of it. In addition to the medieval history, a UFO sighting in the late 1960s further bolstered the site's paranormal legacy."

At the moment I do have a few name versions of the video, but I am still deciding. Though a correlation between the trees used by Vlad the Impaler to kill and the crimes committed so far to obtain wood logs from the Romanian forests could turn out to work really well. I am planing to open the video with the general context of climate change (mentioning the burning Amazon, measures taken in Africa to protect the forests, etc) going into the capitalist Europe, bring in the travel element and then zooming in into the Romanian forests.  I will present then some general and quite important issues regarding deforestations at a national level and then I will direct the focus onto Hoia-Baciu Forest. The haunted forest, the "Bermuda Triangle of Romania", as it is also known. https://uk.images.search.yahoo.com/yhs/search?p=hoia+baciu+romania+map&fr=yhs-Lkry-SF01&hspart=Lkry&hsimp=yhs-SF01&imgurl=http%3A%2F%2Flh4.ggpht.com%2F-I_zTJFXQGKY%2FVPLSnVRwB5I%2FAA...

Apart from the well known Dracula's Castle, the video will also be presenting the famous Hoia-Baciu Forest from Cluj-Napoca, creating the bridge between the touristic element and the socio-political and economical internal interests which lead to big acts of corruption and even crime, while destroying the environment, including important and very popular landmarks.   https://www.independent.co.uk/travel/europe/hoia-baciu-transylvania-haunted-trees-ufo-ghosts-how-to-visit-camping-alex-surducan-marius-a8023136.html

With an eastern European background, I cannot help but thinking about a project which topic relates to this. I am originally from Romania and when I think of what people's reaction is when they hear this, I always get: "Oh, Dracula!... Transylvania!...". Well, fair enough...Bram Stocker's novel has definitely made this part of Europe very famous. It is attracting an increasing number of tourists every year ( https://transylvanianow.com/transylvanian-tourism-on-the-rise/ ) whether they travel there for a relaxing holiday and to visit the real historical places behind Stoker's novel or even to explore further the other touristic attractions which this land has to offer. Many have wandered around there being obsessed with the myth of Dracula, either for their own personal research or even to use the local places as filming sets for Hollywood movies and documentaries. Not too many people know though that in a world wide climate change context, one of the greenest ...
