University- Worth the expense? Sexual Health Video Games

Pros: Experts, Interviews will be easy to

source.

Simple target audience

Currently a large talking point in society

Statistics will be easy to find

Pros: Experts, again, will be easy to

source, statistics will also likely be easy

to obtain

Good mise-en-scene opportunities.

Pros: A topic that is often discussed in the media,

with a wide variety of pressure groups out there to

try and make the government create tougher

legislation

Research may be less difficult than other topics.

Cons: Very general

Already a lot of documentaries on this topic,

been done before.

Cons: Not many people will want to talk

about sex related topics on camera, so

vox pops will be difficult to find.

Doesnt need must investigation, not

showing our best skills.

Cons: A lot of footage may be found footage

because in order to convey the violence shown in

video games wed need to prove it, thus this will

need a lot of footage that isnt our own

Children will not want to discuss this topic because

they are not the ones who are raising the point

about the violence, its their parents/guardians etc

Experts may also be difficult to find.Conclusion: Such a large topic to talk about,

not all universities charge the top rate of

fees, student loans etc, different universities

have different housing costs, so overall very

general.

Conclusion: The sensitivity of this topic

alone, made this topic an easy no-go for

our group, collectively we agreed that

while expert interviews will likely too

simple to obtain and be very excellent, a

public opinion would be difficult to

obtain.

Conclusion: Simply because of the lack of experts

and proof of this topic, as a group we opted not to

choose this topic for our documentary.


3/5

Recession- Saving Money Smoking. Abuse: Drugs

Pros: Huge topic in the media currently, with

all the deficit reduction and so on.

Large number of statistics in order to back up

statements we are making

Pros: Experts would be fairly simple to find,

doctors, nurse, psychologists etc.

Statistics would also be easy to find.

Often in the media, as weve seen in Australia

it was and is still a large talking point for the

public, i.e. smoking ban in public places,

Australians bans on certain packaging, ban on

cigarette advertising in the United Kingdom.

Pros: A lot of different opinionated

interviews, from medical professionals,

teachers, students etc.

Statistics will be easy to source.

Easy to get vox pops.

Cons: Money saving experts who are willing

to talk on camera may prove difficult.

Only aiming it at adults as they are the only

ones who are interested in this topic, younger

people will find this topic, most likely, boring.

Cons: Many documentaries on this

previously, we would need something extra

special in order for ours to really stand out

and appeal.

Cons: Some people may not want to talk on

camera about drugs.

Conclusion: Because of how mundane this

topic is we decided not to choose this for our

documentary, the lack of experts was also a

factor in not choosing it.

Conclusion: Our group almost decided to

choose this topic however we thought that

many documentaries had already covered

everything that we could possibly say about

it, also in comparison of seriousness with

drug abuse, smoking is less harmful, albeit

harmful.

Conclusion: As a group we chose to do this

topic as our documentary, we felt that it was

the most interesting and wont restrict us to a

limited target audience which will make it

easier to produce, the easiness of sourcing

the statistics and interviews was also a major

factor in us choosing this topic.
