Documentary Unit - Our New Idea

Over the easter holidays I have been trying to research bootcamps and liaise with different companies as well as find a presenter for the group. I was not having a lot of luck as people were to busy or would not allow us access for the cameras. After talking to the group I told them that some people would give us an interview but not on camera and we all decided that visuals would be key for the documentary to work.

After a hard decision I proposed to scrap this idea all together as the means of communication was proving difficult and we were all stressed with the uphill struggle. I told the group about a new Idea I have been thinking about incase we decided to change and the group felt it was stable, interesting and would create a more appealing documentary for the teen market.

The idea is all based around fear with many proposed questions. Why do we have it? Why do we still experience it? But mainly, why do we still seek it out? We discussed these questions as a group and thought the best way we can make this documentary exciting and interesting as well as informative would be to have a presenter that the audience could align with and put them through fear based activities to see how they responded in terms of their levels of anticipation, experience and adrenaline. We wanted to prove that there is a reason why people do it and why we feel the need to do it but also give the audience good visuals and take them on a journey with the presenter.

After we looked at this idea we decided to think about what activities we could do and how far we would push our presenter into feeling fear. We thought of a theme park with rollercoasters, a horror based attracting with live interactivity, a screening of what is thought to be a really scary film and a phobia of the presenters. We then had a further thought in thinking, what is one of the scariest and most adrenaline fuelled thing a person can do. A member of the group suggested that she thought Sky diving and we all agreed so we are thinking to incorporate this into the documentary and ideally would love our presenter to do one.
