- A story from your local newspaper
YEAR LONG CHARITY BIKE RIDE
Story: I'd start off the documentary as having Peter introduce himself and what he did for charity. Interview Peter Dudfield and ask him questions such as:
What motivated you to start raising this money for charity?
Why was it a 12 month bike ride that you decided to do? Why not a fun raiser event?
Were there any struggles while committing yourself to this event?
I'd then interview a worker from the Red cross international disaster fund which is the charity he raised £14,000 for.
Id ask questions such as: How will this now effect peoples lives? What will the money raised be used for?
I'd have a few shots of Peter Dudfield cycling and doing his everyday activities to show the viewers how natural his lifestyle is to encourage more people to raise money for charities.

A CHILDS MIND
As i have three younger sisters i think it would be interesting to show the public how a childs mind works. After seeing adverts such as: AT&T, Evian, Interview with a 1,2 and 3 year old (youtube hit)
It has inspired me to do a documentary on the childs mind. I will follow round a young child age 5-11 and analyse how a child lives their life in comparison to their parents. I will interview both child and mother/father by asking each of them questions such as:
If you had lots of money what would you do with it?
What do you think about poverty today?
What do you do in your spare time?
What do you think of the rules that your parent has put into place?
I'll then alter the questions that i asked to the kids and ask their parents. Then i will ask them questions about eachother to test how much they know and the way that they observe their day to day life with eachother.
Also i will ask them these questions in the same interview so the viewers can observe a conversation between generations.
-Investigating into your interests
BEARDS OF TODAY
I have chosen the topic of Bears which was inspired by the idea of fashion in the modern day. Men now and have always grown beards to create a fashion statement or improve their looks. I thought the best way to approach this subject is to interview people who I don't personally know so that lots of different opinions and cultures are shown to the audience. Also including fashion from the past when beards were popular and why. I will ask such questions to members of public (with beards) :
Why did you decide to grow a beard? What was your inspiration?
How do you maintain it?
How many of your friends have beards?
Also i will observe the conversations these people may have with the people with them to see what they think of the mans beard.
I'll create a chart which has the number of questions asked so that i can then show the viewers what is the most popular reason to having a beard.
-A place
THE RIVER CAM
This topic has particularly drawn my attention because I myself am a punter on the river cam. Although tourists see the river as a calm tranquil place, i want viewers to see the real river cam. My inspiration to this is obviously working on the river and a previous documentary called 'Punt wars' I'd like to show the opinions of the river: Tourists point of view, Punters point of view and hopefully the councils point of view as well.
-An issue
THE LOSS OF A LOVED ONE
I had this idea because i wanted to understand how peoples lives are affected by the loss of someone close to them and also how it affects their day to day lives. The documentary would have to be very careful and sensitive for the subject as to not cause distress. This idea was generated by a personal experience; i would like to find out how other people deal with this issue. I need to think more in depth about this idea and how to approach each subject as this idea would be highly emotional to the viewers and to the people interviewed.
-Autobiographical
THE LIFE OF ME
This topic would consist of many different environments and opinions. Such as: The river cam (Work) Longroad (My college) Mulberry house (My home) and the hobbies that i like to do in day to day life. I would start the Documentary by filming my Mum and Dad to show the viewer the opinion that those closest to me have. I'd then show my home life by observing arguments, happy moments and more events that take place within the household. I'd then film my travels to college and show the viewers the opinion of what my teachers and peers have on me. The viewer will then see the transition between my family that know me off the back of their hand and then a teachers view within a working environment.
