Idea number 1: Sikh History- What happened in 1984-
My first idea is about the Sikh genocide which took place in 1984 and I aim going to be looking at who is to blame for the attack, what the aim of the attack was, how long it went on for and how it has affected people now.
Positive Points-
-My idea is for both genders.
-This idea can educate and inform the audience.
Negative Points-
-I didn’t have a key message for the documentary.
-I need to entertain the target audience.
-My documentary could offend people.
Improvements-
-I need a key question which the documentary will answer.
-There need to be a way in which the audience can engage with it rather than jus learning from it.
This feedback has gave me more ideas on what I can do and made me think more about my documentary idea and I need a keys idea.
Idea Number 2: Sikh religion- What is a Sikh?
Positive points-
-It’s not similar to the other ideas
-It fits the BBC remit of educate and inform.
Negative points-
-My documentary could offend people.
-I need to change the idea a bit.
Improvements-
-I could get someone else from another culture to ask questions.
-I could get someone from a different culture and dress them up as a Sikh.
-I could do a documentary on what a Sikh is and where it comes from and what their faith means to them.
- I need to start at a level which no one would know about the subject.
This feedback has gave me more ideas on what I can do instead of my actually idea as it might not work as well and made me think more about my documentary idea and I was told I would focus on something much more simply to do with Sikhism, a different angle like what a Sikh is.
Idea Number 3: Video Games- How violence affects teenagers
Positive points-
-This idea was the most viable out of all three.
-It fits the BBC remit.
-This was my strongest idea.
Negative points-
-It wouldn’t suit the target audience.
-This topic is not too clear.
Improvements-
-I need to change some of the people I use in this documentary as they are under age.
-I need more research on the topic.
-I could talk to the police to ask if they see any difference.
-I need to make a lot of contacts.
This feedback has given me more ideas on who I can contact and what for and what questions i could ask. It has helped me find out what was missing from the documentary.

Content research on Idea Number 3: Video Games- How violence effects teenagers
1) How does violence in video games effect a teenager?
"games can have both positive and negative consequences"
"Video games have also been studied for links to addiction and aggression."
Video games can have a good effect on the teenagers but it depend on weather the video game has violence or not. most teenagers who play video games with violent content get mainly effected in a bad way and become violent and aggressive.
2) How does it effect their education?
For most teenagers there education gets worser as they get addicted to video games and spend most of there time playing and less time doing school work and revising for exams. There educationa get worst for most who play violent video games as they dont educate them but only teach them how to be violent
3) How do the games effect their behaviour?
"make young people more aggressive"
"violence in video games and in other media promotes violent behavior"
"video games can increase aggressive behavior and emotional outbursts"
"When the younger brother won, the older brother got up and started kicking him and yelling insults! Later on that day, the younger brother was playing another video game by himself and when he could not beat the level, he threw down the controller and screamed at the t.v. screen"
4) Should teenagers be allowed to play violent games?
"Parents are often concerned about the violent content of these games, but unaware just how dangerous they can be. But the risks for increasing aggressive behavior are real. “The latest brain research shows that violent games activate the anger center of the teenage brain while dampening the brain’s conscience.” [Ninth Annual MediaWise Video Game Report Card, David Walsh, Ph.D. et. al., 2004]."
"Should there be a law that prohibits the sale or rental of violent video games to anyone under 18?

5) How are video games in this country regulated?
Video games are rated by what the content of the game is.
"• Human sexual activity
• Acts of gross violence towards humans or animals
• Activity likely to help in the commission of a crime
• Drug use"
"At ‘18’ issues may be even stronger and could include a focus on strong violence with realistic
injury detail, strong horror, very strong language, very strong sex references or even depictions
of sexual activity or drug use." But a large number of teenagers under the age of 18 play these games as there parent either buy them for them or they go out and buy them without there parents knowing.
