Unit introduction
In our first lesson, we were introduced to different types of documentaries, their purposes, as well as our briefing for this unit.
In this unit, we had to create a documentary that would be suitable and engaging towards our 'age-group' (18/21) while also creating it as if we were giving it to BBC3 for broadcast, this meant we had to be factual and engaging to the topic we were presenting, but we also had to bear in mind that it also had to be 'family-friendly'. Our overall brief - what we had to link our main subject to - was 'Living Online'.
In this lecture, we were also assigned to our groups, I was put with Jazz, Alan, and Aodhan. After that, we were free to go to the base room and pick an idea between us. After we had lunch, it was only myself an Aodhan to work out an idea. We narrowed it down to two: Mental Health or Business.
My idea was Mental Health as, in the last few years, suicide rates, especially in our age groups has increased quite a lot in the last few years and isn't talked about enough which is even worse as people feel as if there is no one to help them. Aodhan chose Business as hacking and bit-coins are rarely talked about in media a and there is a lot that people may not know as it isn't talked about in mainstream media (much like Mental Health).
Eventually, we picked Business within social media as Business is lesser known and we could go into more topics and detail with it as more people would be open to talking about it.
