Initial plans

Topic: Hair

When we finished brainstorming our ideas we narrowed our ideas to four that we think would be the best choices. These four are Cats, Hair, Food and Computers. Our first choice was Cats, things positive about this topic would be easy to film footage because a lot of people have cats and we would be able to interview a lot of the owners. The negatives of doing this was that we thought it was too broad of a subject and one of the group members is allergic so it would be difficult to film.

Our second choice was hair, this is would be good to do because most people have hair or have stories about it so the filming would be interesting and their is also a variety of options like hair styles, hair dye, cuts, hairdressers. Food was our next option we thought this was too broad and it would be difficult to focus on a point for 30 minutes because we think it would drift from the subject.

Our last choice was computers, we thought this would be an interesting subject to do as there are not many documentaries out there that have got this subject. It could be focused on things like the past and future of the technology or it could be how its changed how we live ect. A reason why we didn't choose this subject was because we thought the people in our group didn't know enough information on the subject to be able to create a 30 minute documentary on the subject.

After brainstorming a lot of different ideas we decided that hair would be then best topic to base our documentary on. There is various different subjects that are based around hair that we could include in our documentary such as hair dye, hairdressers, hair loss, hair style ect.

Target Audience: The target audience for our documentary is females and people who really care about there hair. The age group would be between 16-30 years old, we think these people would be the people that would care most about their hair.

Scheduling: Evening time would be the best time to have our documentary on television. Around 8pm-9pm would be when it was on because it would get good views because its after the 7 o'clock news and a lot of their audience would start watching the documentary. It is also after the popular soap TV shows so people are more than likely to watch the documentary if there's nothing else they would normal watch at that time. Its also when the watershed is on so also children will be interested. I think the documentary should be on Channel 4 because that's where the most interesting documentaries on TV are shown and watched the most.
