Feedback on Top 3 Idea’s about my last 3 topics to help decide my chosen
topics which their feedback was… (Evidence on blog)
Myths and Misconceptions
The Documentary on this topic was a favourite to some people and was said to be
interesting as no one knows the exact truth, Also that it would be really fascinating if it
could be concluded at the end because they haven't done that before. However, other
thought it would be trashy, its really dated and has been done a lot . Also it doesn't really
cater to a wider audience as its not really relevant to today.
Evidence for be Banned?
Should it how I chose my
‘chosen topic’
The Documentary on this topic was a favourite to the most people and was said to be
interesting, academic and the most controversial making it most engaging to watch. Also
that its relevant to todays news and current debates and would be will received by a
mass audience.
The Law
The Documentary on this topic was only liked. It was said to have the potential to be
controversial but probably not the most exciting documentary. They said it’s relevant so
there would be a lot of interest around the topic. However, there are too many crime
documentaries and it quite dated.
