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
