Documentary Unit - Initial Ideas

In our group (George, Ethan and myself) we had a few initial ideas plus one that I developed further.

Initial Ideas:

- Abandoned pets and Animal rescue sanctuaries

- Americanism's in English society

- How has Brexit affected different age groups?

- Do the elderly have a better quality of life than just a few years ago?

- Do people spend too much time gaming?

The one i wanted to expand further is the animal rescue idea. We know that many animals are brought without thinking about future consequences and possibilities, meaning lots of animals are abandoned and left to fight for themselves. 

I would really like to investigate this further as our family adopted 3 abandoned cats from Raystede a few years ago and even though you are told some of the story about what happened there must be lots of details they don't say as it must be pretty upsetting.

We did decide as a group that it was a good ideas as a basis which we could develop into something that could suit a BBC 3/Online audience. We know that BBC 3 needs to have some edge to it as that what there viewers like. We thought showing the reality of what animals have to go through could be shocking but would also be hard to get access too at the same time.

We haven't done much research into it right not but as an initial idea we think it is the strongest of the ones that we have. Plus I have contact with Raystede and Ethan has contacts at a Zoo and also a cat rescue center so it could be an idea that we could develop with those contacts. 

We will get feedback from Zoe and Helen on this idea and I'm sure it can be developed easily into something for BBC 3 and also at the same time something with an interesting story.
