6 Documentary Ideas

Generating documentary ideas using the following 6 starting points:


Key starting points -

• A story from your local paper
• A person you know
• Investigation into something you're interested in
• A place
• An issue
• Autobiographical

A story from your local paper:

• RSPCA investigation launched after baby rabbits are found abandoned in Soham - view here
• Oscar Pistorius trail - view here

A person you know:

• My cousin, Harry, who wants to be a pilot and is interested in aeroplanes.
• Policeman, Dave and a 'day-in-the-life' documentary
• My dad, who runs his own restaurant

Investigation into something you're interested in:

YouTube, and how's it has grown and become so popular

A place:

Harrods, London

An issue:

Technology (and it's continuous evolution) - giving the older generation technology they haven't used, e.g iPads and iPhones, and documenting their reactions

Autobiographical:

'Day-in-the-life' of myself
