Documentary Unit - Ideas

For our documentary we all came with different ideas on what to make our film about. At first we had to choose between the options of doing a documentary called My Hero, aimed to be aired at BBC3, where the objective is to make a film about someone's hero. The second option was to create one about Canterbury Cathedral and the repairs they are doing for it at the moment. As a group we discussed it and decided to do the hero one. It gives us more options of a story and we can create something with more impact with it regarding our personal skills.

For our group ideas (starring Helen, Danny and myself) we had all great and very different ideas. Helen's idea was to make a documentary about the only open lesbian female football player, who for some is considered a hero, taking into account that no other football player is officially declared as gay since that is taken really hard in the football world. Danny's idea was to make a documentary about dogs that help disable people to live a better life. Finally my idea was to make a documentary about what it means to be a hero, different types of hero and understanding that by doing really simple and small stuff you can also be a big hero for some people.
