Brainstorming

When first going through and looking at what we can base our documentary on, we came up with a variety of ideas:
  • Food - different types of foods avaliable
  • Social networking - risks - cyber bullying
  • Fashion - how its changed through the years, old fashion coming back around
  • Music - concerts - specific artists - rise and fall
  • School - are exams getting easier in comparison to 15 years ago - O-Levels
  •  Weddings - different cultures e.g. indian, gypsy, african
  • Youth culture/crime - are teens committing more crimes than adults? 
  • Unhealthy/healthy food - fast food restaurants
  • Exercise - are people getting enough exercise?
  • Young models - 16 and under
  • Cars & teenagers - insurance
  • Young fame - do people end up taking it too far?
  • Retail stores - shopping culture - how its changed
  • Cities - city culture
  • Footballers - the money behind it
  • Tattoo's - why they first came around
  • Youth holidays - 18-30 year olds
  • Alcohol abuse - are teenagers drinking more, and why?
  • Mental illnesses
  • Police - different types of things they have to deal with
  • Accidents in sport
  • Families - how things have changed
  • Travelling - do people still go sight seeing?
  • Security
We then had to narrow it down and decide which topic we'd most like to make a documentary on. Our chosen topic was food, we brainstormed and gathered different ideas.
We thought of pro's and con's of take away and put them into a mind-map, the idea's we collected were:
Pro's:
  • Quick and easy
  • Can sometimes be cheaper than making a full meal yourself from scratch
  • Efficient - in a rush and not having the time to cook
  • Allows you to try new styles of food from across the world/global foods avaliable at ease
Con's:
  • Some are made out to be healthy but they're actually not
  • Sometimes the ingrediants used aren't fresh produce, such as - processed meat, foods taken from frozen
  • Certain takeaway places are more expensive
  • High calorie and fat content

Initial Idea's

Within our group, we decided that we would base our documentary on Take Away foods. Based on the idea's we thought of when our programme could be shown, the target audience for the documentary and the channel it will be shown on.
Channel: Channel 4
Target Audience: 16+
Time Shown: 8.30-9.00pm
The day that we have chosen to show our documentary is a Friday.
