Strengths and weaknesses for my ideas
Idea number 1: Sikh History- What happened in 1984-
Strengths-
- My documentary meet the BBC remit of inform and educate and now also entertain as the focus group gave me ideas on how i could entertain.
- My idea for this documentary really appeal to the target audience, as the focus group was a part of the target audience they said that this idea is fine for the target audience and they would be interested in it.
- From this focus group that the experts i would need for it.
- i realised that this documentary was more viable as i know of people who were alive and in that country which i can film that live in this country now.
- i now know which style i want to make
which is with footage from when the event on which i am making the documentary took place.
Weaknesses-
- I realised i wouldn't have to many people to interview for this documentary idea as this is something not many people are willing to talk about.
- There isn't nought entertainment to keep the audience watching the documentary.
- I still don't have one angle to focus on as i am looking at more than 1 thing as in what happened and how it has effected people today.
- The focus group said that idea might get a bit serious so i should to a role play so people to take it to far.
- The focus group said that i need to use a presenter of another ethnicity so the documentary don't look to biased.
Idea Number 2: Sikh religion- What is a Sikh?
Strengths-
- One of the strengths for this was that i am able to film someone in the traditional Sikh clothes, a male and also a female.
- I have people who i can contact which follows the traditional lifestyle of a Sikh and i could film them for one day and i could interview them.
- I have a clear angle on which i am going to focus on which is the the basics of Sikhism and in a life of someone who follows the Sikh religion for one day.
- i was told that the target audience is fine as they are the ones which know the least about religions.
- This idea is viable as i know that i am going to be able to film it and i know experts and i know who to contact.
Weaknesses-
- I was told i could use someone of another faith to be the presenter but i don't have anyone to contact for that.
- I am not to sure if people would be okay with me filming them for a day to show the lifestyle.
- I may need to keep this documentary very basic as some people don't know nothing about the Sikh religion.
- This idea doesn't have much entertainment in it so people might not stay as focused to it as they could with entertainment.
- In the contact list that i made, the people who i had to get dressed up in traditional Sikh clothes are below the target audience for this documentary so i may need to find some people who can dress up in traditional Sikh clothes which are in between the age on 16-24 so that it appeals to the target audience more.
Idea Number 3: Video Games- How violence affects teenagers
Strengths-
- This idea really appeals to the target audience as they are the ones who play video games the most out of all the ages and these are the people who spend the most time playing these violence games.
- This idea fits the BBC ethos of entertaining, educating and informing the target audience.
- For this idea i have one angle that i am going to look at which is how violence in video games effects 16-24 year olds.
- This idea is viable as i know that i am going to be able to film it and i know of a few people who i can contact for vox pops.
- The angle i am looking at is clear.

- This idea lack entertainment as i am not sure of what i can have to entertain the target audience.
- I do not have to much knowledge on this topic and i need to do much more research.
- Im not to sure that the target audience would be interested in this documentry as they wouldnt care about what the parents or teachers think and would just want to play games all day.
- i need to have more experts as i dont have any and they are really important to have.

Focus group for idea 3
From this focus group i found out that i could do this documentary with video clips in it and i could have expert telling how violence affects teenagers. the focus group agreed with me on the target audience as they are the ones that play a lot of video games and it appeals to them. i was to i could look at how the life of a gamer and a non gamer is like and compare them to and see which affects the education more and there behaviour too.
This focus group has made me think about what I could do the documentary on but I feel that I am not still clear about what angle I want to look at for this documentary. I do still think that this idea is viable to do and my ideas have developed but not too much only a little bit and I think I need to develop my ideas by thinking of the target audience and thinking about how I can keep them entertained and into the documentary.
Focus group for idea 2
From this focus group i found out that i should also stick to the basic of Sikhism and that the style i should make this documentary is by visually showing someone the traditional dress wear for a Sikh and expert in the video and i should use bits of the other one which was a talk show, they said that i could have someone from each religion talking about what their opinions is on the traditional Sikh clothes. i was told i could do a life in a Sikhs life, i could record them going to the temple and their lifestyle.
From the focus group i have found out what angle i should be looking at more which is on how a lifestyle of a Sikh is and i could film them doing there daily routines and describe the basics like the 5Ks and who the gurus are. i think that after doing this focus group that this idea has become more clear and viable to make and they have developed more so that it suits that target audience more and would keep them interested.
Focus group for idea 1
From this focus group I was told that the target audience that I am aiming for is fine. I was told that to keep the audience entertained I could do a little role play within the documentary to do with what happened. They said that for the style of my documentary i should go for the one which had clips in it from the event which i am making a documentary on and have experts, voice overs and that is more visual and not the one which was just a talk show with a few clips. I was told that i should have a presenter of another ethnicity so that it don't seem biased.
From this focus group some of my ideas have become more clear and i feel that is quite viable to do. I am going to be adding in some clips from the time which the event which i am doing the documentary on took place. i am considering doing a little role play in it acting out what happened. This focus group made me think more about the target audience at what they would be interested in and that i should focus more on.
