DuPont Planetarium In A Video Documentary

DuPont Planetarium is located on the campus of USC-Aiken in South Carolina giving every individual regardless of race or gender an opportunity to explore the majesty of heavens (Banes, 2003). The planetarium which is 30 ft. diameter dome has for a long time been receiving visitors from across the world who come to be part of the different amazing programs in the place such as a presentation of the stars, constellations, planets visible in the current night sky as well as many other programs that revolve around astronomy. It is indeed a great place to be and this makes the subject based on, ‘Our DuPont Planetarium,’ worth considering as a subject of a video documentary for SCETV ‘Shorts. ’It is worth noting that this subject is similar enough to others found on the SCETV ‘Shorts’ website.

For instance, in the video, Our Town, Monks Corner, the identified town which is located not far from the vacation hub of Charleston, is known to provide people who go there and more especially the residents with exciting vacation attractions as well as beautiful, relaxing areas. This is very similar to DuPont Planetarium located in South Carolina that offers so many visitors the chance to enjoy the beauty of the heavens and at the same time offering an amazing experience to the people who visit the place.

Therefore, just like Moncks Corner which has all the reasons and great features for people to visit and go and see, DuPont Planetarium with its great experiences of astronomy is an amazing place too which ought to be considered more. Again through ‘Palmetto Scene,’ presented through SCETV ‘Shorts,’ it is apparent that this brings to everyone an exciting new program that is highly designed to provide enlightenment, education as well as wonder. The story which reminds us of the wealth of stories that South Carolina has, makes us appreciate more the subject based on ‘Our DuPont Planetarium. ’ Through the website of SCETV ‘Shorts,’ there is the video that is based on the subject, ‘Charlie’s Place’ which clearly tells the story of an African American nightclub located in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina that despite its operation in the time of great segregation, the owner known as Charlie welcomed both blacks and whites to his club (Moore, & Burton, 2008). This created a favorable environment for everyone and it is worth noting that even after its closure as a result of an attack that occurred in the year 1950, the place is still visited and acts as an example of racial diversity as well as a symbol of hope of Myrtle Beach. This is no different from ‘Our DuPont Planetarium’ as it also provides a meeting point for millions of people from different background and nations hence in one way promoting corporation among different individuals.

Therefore, the subject based on Our DuPont Planetarium highly meets the aim of this series of documentaries. However, it is of great to come to the understanding that despite the subject is similar to other collection as presented through presented through SCETV ‘Shorts,’ it is also unique in its own way hence suggesting its inclusion. The planetarium has got a new Digistar 6 system whereby the entire dome is filed with a video that offers the visitors a completely different experience. It also worth remembering that unlike many other places, DuPont Planetarium has programs that are designed for both adults and children and this is the sole reason many people refer to it as, ‘The place like no other. ’ With my careful such on the SCETV’s website, the subject I am presenting here is not in the archive and because it presents one of the unique things that South Carolina has to offer, it fits as a subject of a video documentary for SCETV ‘Shorts. ’
