Start of Year 2 - Documentary

After completing my first year of Multimedia i decided to carry on into my second year choosing the Audio Visual Pathway as this is the area i enjoyed most last year.
We have currently been set the task of creating a 4 minute documentary on a single character in groups of 5. Each group member has a specific role to play in the creation of the short movie, and i have chosen the role of Camera production, i chose this as i think it would be an interesting role to have and interests me the most.
We came up with idea's on people that we know that would interest some-one enough to watch our documentary, the idea's we came up with were:

Idea 1

The first idea we came up with was one of the girls in the group had a handy man who was retired from an police drug squad, we thought that he may have some interesting stories to tell in the documentary and we could create some re-constructions of them. After talking to him we decided that it may not be the best subject to concentrate on, and the idea kind of crumbled so we looked for a different approach to the documentary.

Idea 2

We next tried to think of an idea which was different and could relate more to one character. One of the girls in the group is a twin, her twin brother Edward was born with Down-syndrome. We saw this as being interesting subject especially the fact that these two individuals were twins, however very different. We want to look into Edward's everyday life and compare it to his twins. We would go and film a day in their house and look at all the aspects of every day life with down syndrome and how he feels that Diana was able to come to university, when he is incapable of doing so. I think so far this is my favourite idea and i think it could be made into a successful and interesting documentary.
