Initial Idea:
Our initial idea had been to produce a documentary on The Old Manor House which was previously run as a mental hospital. However due to our time limit, the limited access into the abandoned building and limited information access. We decided that we would produce our documentary on another topic.
Other possible ideas
- Shepton Mallet Prison - lots of information available.
- Guys Marsh Prison - 5/6 possible interviewees with easy contact.
- Fandoms - Why people are apart of fandoms, what they benefit from it, their opinions.
- Music - Interview a range of people on their different music tastes and what it means to them.
Changing ideas:
Due to limited information and access to our planned locations we decided to change our idea. Our classmate offered for us to assist her on her documentary which we decided to do, we helped read out interviews which the interviewees did not want to be filmed reading, we also filmed some filler shots of baby supplies. We had to produce our own edits of the documentary so that we gained experience in using the editing software.
