Final Topic Decision

We have decided to base our documentary on the ‘selfie’ trend. It didn’t take us too long to come to this decision as we all agreed it would be a fun, current and diverse topic that we would all enjoy getting involved in. It was also the first topic idea that we came up with so we decided to go with our

gut!

However we didn’t just jump to this conclusion and we did spend time weighing up the positives and negatives of all our possible topics.

Why we didn’t choose the others

University: It would be too difficult to film at a University so a lot of our filming wouldn’t look like it fitted together and it would have been too hard to find degree students to interview. It may have also been quite a boring topic

and it isn’t very original.

Health and Body Image: This is too much of a wide topic to draw any conclusions from. It would also be very hard to facilitate any expert

interviews. This topic is also quite sensitive so we would have to be very careful about what we say. There has also been countless professional

documentaries on this topic that have already been created.

IPhone 6: We didn’t think this would be a very original idea at all. It’s very limited and we had already over heard other groups in our class who wanted

their documentary to be about mobile phones and we wanted to do something different to everyone else.
