Brainstorming Ideas

MIND MAP OF TEN INITIAL IDEAS

CLOSE UPS OF ABOVE MIND MAP

Our first 10 ideas were:

1) Shopping

2) Exercise/diet

3) Beauty products

4) Dance

5) Sports

6) Public transport

7) Teaching

8) Warrington/North West

9)Hairdressing

10) Wild animals/Zoo

Our top 3 ideas were:

1) Sports

2) Teaching

3) Beauty products

Our original idea for the sports documentary was to explore sports teams in Warrington such as the rugby team and teams from schools and colleges as well as focusing on alternative sports such as free running and rowing. We also had the idea of combining two of the other ideas into sport, diet and exercise and dancing. This documentary will be shown on Channel 4 at 20:00.

For a teaching documentary we felt that we could look at different teaching styles for different age groups and film some PTA meetings as well as classes and opinions from students and have interviews with Headteachers. We felt that this documentary would be best suited on BBC2, at 6:00 in the morning as most teaching programmes are aired early morning.

The beauty products documentary would include advice from experts and members of the public testing products for a week to see which they like the best. We could also research into stores such as Boots and Superdrug who sell beauty products and have their own beauty consultants. This documentary would also be scheduled to be shown on Channel 4 at 20:00.



In the end, we decided to do our documentary on sports, focusing on alternative sports rather than the usual football and rugby.

MIND MAP OF OUR MAIN IDEA - ALTERNATIVE SPORTS

Having thought about all of the sports ideas we could choose form, we have decided to do our documentary on one section of sports on the above mind map, Free Running. We chose this because it is an alternative sport that is not very well known, so a documentary on this subject could investigate elements such as training and possible injuries that could be caused and the safety and skills required. We thought about who we could interview and decided on attempting to talk to experts and as well as members of a Free Running team and trainers. One idea was to follow or shadow one of the members to gain a true insight to this alternative sport.
