Documentary Unit - Researching Fear

After we knew what we wanted to do, I have been looking into some research as to why we face our fears. We sat down as a group earlier and watched a few TED talk's (an education based website/ app displaying videos in the style of YouTube, particularly focusing on a lecturer explaining a topic) about fear but one in particular was by a woman named Michelle Poler. She talks about how when she was at uni she was set a task to do over a 100 days and decided to do hers based on carrying out one of her fears each day. She explained how she felt and why she wanted to do this journey as well as some facts about why people are so scared of things we don't need to be afraid of.

I have also been looking into so facts and figures of fear in general. Here is a document we compiled together for the documentary.
