Diseño y creación de un documental web sobre el feminicidio de María Belén Bernal

Abstract

This integrative project proposes the creation of a web documentary entitled Uniformed Silence, which addresses the case of the femicide of María Belén Bernal, which occurred on September 11, 2022, inside the Police Academy in Quito. The case generated a strong commotion in the country due to the irregularities that occurred during the case, which evidenced the structural violence suffered by women in Ecuador. Based on this event, the documentary seeks to raise awareness about gender-based violence and contribute to the construction of a social memory, using multimedia design as its main tool. The documentary was developed using a qualitative approach, with a design that combines interviews, testimonies, technical sheets, visual resources, and graphics. The documentary was structured through a storyboard and an accessible interface. A symbolic color palette (black, white, green, lilac, purple) was used, in addition to a logo that represents the case. The final result is an interactive proposal that allows users to freely explore the content, helping them understand the case and raising awareness about gender-based violence. This project demonstrates that multimedia design is a tool for denouncing, raising awareness, and activating social memory
