Initial Idea

Initial Ideas

1. Religion, the people in our group have very strong views on religion, there is concern that this could be too contreversial.

2. British politics, again the people in our group are very passionate about the subject, i think it would be a good documetnary to do, especially as there is always something current in the news about british politics, and it would be easy to interview a local MP.

3. Dieting, again there is always something current in the news and it is easy to find a target audience at is generally teenage girls who are interested in subjects like this.

4. The environment, always something current in the news about the environment and recently there has been a push of environmental friendliness.

5. Cheese manufacturing, it would be highly amusing to do, plus we live in cheshire and could quite easily investigate into cheshire cheese.

6. Martial arts, Ryan in our group is a black belt in martial arts and is currently taking a class furhter into the subject, it would be easy to investigate, interview and get footage for.

7. Drug Abuse, we live near a very drug infested place, and it would be easy to get interviews with police, doctors, addicts and people who have been effected.

8. Runcorn, its where we live and there is always something happening in Runcorn.

9. Teenage Peer Pressure, we are infact teenagers and know exactly what this is about, it would be easy to interview cause we know everyone who is going through this.

10. Trees, again a highly amusing topic.
Once we had come up with ten ideas, we had to chose the best three and develop them so that they were substantial.

We chose religion as one of our preliminary ideas becuase we thought that the topic of religion was still fresh in peoples minds because of the Popes recent visit. We also thought that there would be a wide range of opinion as to what religion had become in recent years. One of the origional reasons that we chose religion as an idea was because it was somewhat of a rough topic to tackle.

Dieting was our second preliminary idea, we chose this subject becuase it was a topic that was still in the forefront of peoples minds and was a topic that a lot of poeple were related to, a lot of people have been on a diet or have known someone on a diet which is why this idea was carried through to be developed into a more sunstantial idea.

Our third preliminary idea was chees manufacturing, this idea was chosen becuase it differed a lot from our first two ideas. We first chose this idea because it seem like an idea that would not normaly be looked at in detail. The uniqueness of this idea made it stand out to us which is one of the reasons why we decide to move it into the preliminary ideas. The main reason why we chose this idea to take forward was because it was so different from our other ideas, and so would be more interesting to develop.
