Jodie Foster-Pilia is producing a documentary and has identified several potential topics: Does God exist?, Subliminal messages on television, and Is advanced technology an advantage or disadvantage. She conducted interviews about these topics with 6 people ranging in age from 11 to 45. Based on the interviews and her own interests, Jodie is leaning towards exploring the topic "Does God exist?" for her documentary as it seems to generate a strong debate and she feels knowledgeable about issues relating to God from her philosophy studies.

Explanation
There is a wide range of
interesting topics to
choose from regarding
subliminal messages, I
don’t think you could run
out of things to
investigate.
Explanation
I think this is an
interesting topic, and may
leave people questioning
their religion after the
documentary, meaning
that it is influential.
Explanation
The advanced technology
topic is too common,
whereas a documentary
on subliminal messages is
unique as I have never
seen a documentary like
that before.

9. Personal Favourite topic
I also feel this is a good
topic as I think it will be
interesting to discover
different people views and
opinions regarding the
topic.
Does God Exist?
I think this topic
would be a good topic
to choose as it has a
very strong debate,
which I feel would be
successful in my
documentary
I think I am quite
knowledgeable regarding
the study of God as I am a
philosophy and ethics
student, and as a result
think I could produce a
informative documentary
I Have two personal favourite topics that I am considering for my documentary. These are ‘Does
God exist’ And ‘Subliminal messages on television’, but at the moment I am slightly leaning
towards the topic of Gods existence
