Our group has now decided to change their idea due to the fact that the olypian we were going to base our documentary around went back to Botswana for personal reaosns.
Therefore we have decided to completely re-think our documentary idea. We are now going to be basing our documentary around addictions, however we are not using the most common addictions such as drugs, smoking etc, we have decided to use more niche examples of addiction. Our documentary series is called `What is your addiction?`and some of the examples of addiction we will be using are gambling, shop lifting, self harming, sex, and gaming.
Our first episode will either be on gambling or self harming, however the problem we will have with gambling is the access. Its unlikely that betting shops or casinos will allow us access to film in their facilities, however we are pushing for access with different casinos and betting shops. If we fail to gain access to these types of places, we will proceed with the episode on self harming, this may also be difficult due to the fact that people who self harm are unlikely to speak openly to a camera, or even admit their problem in the first place.
First of all we will create a questionnaire in order to get some audience feedback on our documentary ideas, this will hopefully provide us with information on whether or not people would want to watch these types of documentaries and will also provide witth some criticising feedback and suggestions on how we could improve our documentary series.
