Story Ideas

Documentary research 

idea 1- my first idea is to create a documentary based on the uk's first
 blind fitness instructor. his name is Jame's O'Driscoll, he is 38 and was diagonesed with optic neuropathy.

One morning, construction worker James O’Driscoll woke to discover he couldn’t see from his left eye. Over the next few weeks, the sight in his right eye deteriorated too, leaving him completely blind. After months of testing and extended stays in hospital, the 26-year-old from Bromley, Kent was diagnosed with Leber's Optic Neuropathy, a rare genetic condition that affects just one in 20 million people.

when we researched and found james we was fascinated by his sheer dedication to overcome his illness. we was impressed with how he overcome the illness not only mentally but physically.

He struggled to cope with his disability, finding solace in junk food, cigarettes and alcohol. His moment of clarity, however, came four years after losing his sight, when he realized it didn’t have to stop him leading a relatively normal life. He cast aside his vices and began exercising. Now, at the age* s is England’s first blind qualified personal trainer, having exceeded the expectations of all those around him. For the determination and tenacity he showed to become a fitness professional, James O’Driscoll is the MH Man of the Month.


idea2- our second idea was to base our documentary on the radio station that prank called kate mideltons hospital. we wanted to firstly highlight the key points on why they did it and the controversy that it caused also the consequence it had on someone's life. we also wanted to get a non biased view from the public on the prank call, i would also like to document what consequences it has on the radio station and what the police intend to do. this prank calls has caused an uproar worldwide and has also put a invasion in the privacy of the most security family in the world. if it was that easy to find out information on kate in hospital what else can people find out about the royal family?
idea3- my third idea was to base our documentry on an insperational english architectue called norman robert foster. Norman has designed many famous building around england some of his most spectacular designs are the hearst tower in new york, torre caja madrid in madrid and the Gherkin. all off these building's are very spectacular. i wanted to base my documentary on the design and structure of the Gherkin. i wanted to display special features of the building and the history and designs behind the making of the gherkin. into my research of norman i was also going to display some of his other projects he has created around london.
