COMMISSIONS UNIT: Brief and Introduction

Today we were briefed on our documentary unit. This unit really excites me due to my keen interest in documentaries (my favourites being Louis Theroux's documentaries).

Our documentary has to fulfil these criteria:
- research, cast, script and edit a 10 minute long documentary
- has to fit with the theme of 'Teen Spirit'
- BBC3 brand
- serious and factual but keeping with BBC3 brand
- inspire and empower teen audience
- 'teen's eye view'

The documentary should revolve around one of these subjects:
- health & wellbeing
- family & relationships
- science & technology
- wildlife & environment
- community & social affairs
- music, arts & culture
- history

We have formed our groups - I am in a group with
- Jason Efstathiou
- Alex Hargood
- Sonia Zelenicka

Now that we have our groups we can begin brainstorming and coming up with our ideas. We will individually come up with our own ideas and then narrow them down until we have agreed on one idea. Once we have come up with our idea we will divide up our roles within the group.
