Today i made my blog.
At the moment i would like to make a documentary. I am not sure what on, although i have the idea of doing a type of travel documentary or a documentary about my "big fat Greek family". I have been thinking what channel i would like to air the documentary,either channel 4 or BBC1.
Travel doc idea:
This summer i am going to new Zealand and Australia with my brother. i was thinking of capturing some footage out there and use some of this footage along with some footage from Peru where my friend Charlotte is going for the summer. I could interview my brother and Charlotte, asking them questions about their experiences and why they wanted to go to these countries.
"My big fat Greek family" doc idea:
I was thinking of doing a documentary which focuses on the traditions and culture of a big family. Aimed at teenagers/adolesense from 18-21 and aird on channel 4, i could interview different family members putting accross their views and opinions about what it is like growing up with a close-knit family,where everyone is involved with everyone elses business. It would be formal, but at the same time making it seem playful and joky.
HOWEVER: i need to do a lot of research on documentaries and i do like the idea of doing a music video but i dont have a clear idea of what i would do for a music video,which is why i am swaying more towards the documentary idea.

Anastasia,
Two very good ideas, though I think at the moment the Family one sounds more well formed and something I could see coming together very well. The key to a good documentary is very much the quality of the contributors. If you feel you've got some really big characters (and I don't mean size wise), who would be willing to participate, in your family then this could really work. It would be good if there were some family events that you could capture so check out your diary for what's happening from September to December.
I've already spoken to you about the travel idea. I have reservations about how much you will be able to get in New Zealand with your camera but do film stuff while you're out there and see what you get. You could end up using it for the Family doc, so maybe plan some questions for your brother that you can use in both.
nijAll the ideas are sound. We can help with the research. Perhaps you coul go for 'humour' -laughing with your family. Fly on the wall stuff can be great but you will need a lot to get a good 4 mins and you will need to have a good insight into what it is you want to get from it.
