1. Idea Explanation/examples Advantages Disadvantages
Young crime
(theft, burglary,
pickpocketing)
As seen on the police website here, the
amount of crimes related to theft and
stealing is much higher than other
comparable crimes such as drugs or
possession of weapons and also in
comparison to other boroughs showing it
is something that as a community we
need to tackle.
By looking through different years you
can see that crime of this type has
steadily been on the rise for years. This is
the reason that I think targeting crimes of
this nature is important so we can allow
for people to know the facts and figures
so they can protect themselves better.
Letting potential criminals know the
suffering they are inflicting upon their
victims is more than just losing a few
items, but also mental with many people
after being stolen from no longer feeling
safe in their own homes as well as the
punishments that the crimes entail. This
may cause them to rethink their crimes
and help stop them from getting into
crime in the first place
There are several ideas which which we
will have the ability to pursue if we decide
that this the issue we wish to tackle.
The first of these ideas is that we would
The advantages of make this the
topic of our video is that it is a
pertinent and important issue in the
local area which has persisted for
many years, so this will raise
awareness of something which
many people do not think of. If
successful people may invest in
security equipment that would
make it easier to catch criminals
lowering the crime rate of the area.
Another benefit of this project is
that their are many people who
suffer mental issues which they do
not see a phychitrist as they are
worried of being seen as playing
on what has happened to them or
they might not even know it is a
common issue so our project
would be able to inform people that
they are right to seek help and
offer alternate options such as
different groups where victims get
together and help comfort one
another.
A large benefit for us is that as this
is not a topic which is generally
touched upon in the local area it
means that our video will be more
A disadvantage of choosing this topic
is that interviewing different people
would take a large amount of time
which means there would not be as
much time for other parts of the project
such as editing which may as a result
of the time restraints prove detrimental
to the final product.
As well as the time it would take to get
interviews we would also be required
to have people sign talent release
forms which serve to act as proof of
their consent to use footage of them in
our video. A side note of this point is
that as we will be taking younger
people is that if they are under 18 we
would be required to obtain their
parents signatures in their place.
Another legal concern is gaining
permission to film on certain sites
which would take even more time and
due to the nature of the topic we are
investigating may not be given in the
end which could force us to change
plans from what we initially come up
with.
One point of concern is that it may
prove difficult to find someone who is
2. be able to get people who committed
crimes such as these as youths and then
convince them to discuss how it has
affected their life and any difficulties they
may struggle with such as getting a job,
or if they have faced any bias as a result
of the crimes they have committed in
their past. Another idea which we would
be able to try would be to speak to
victims of crimes and question them as to
how the crime has affected them, how it
was committed, and their immediate
reaction to discovering they had been
stolen from, to enhance this idea while
we discus how the crime was committed
we reenact it so that people can see how
crimes happen so they can better protect
himself against it.
likely to catch people's attention
and teach them something which
they do not already know about
their are help improve the local
area unlike if we did a much more
commonly tackled issue such as
young age smoking and drug
abuse.
The final benefit to this plan which i
can think of is that as we will have
access to better than average
equipment it will make our video
look more professional meaning
the more shocking attention
grabbing scene we will use to
make sure people understand our
message will be more likely to sink
in.
the victim of such a crime, as their is
no easy way to disen such things
which may force us to ask people
making them feel uncomfortable. Side
note even if we do find people it is
likely they would not feel comfortable
sharing their story in the project.
Even if we do get though each of these
problems then we may find it difficult to
recreate crimes if we decide to go with
that idea as it would require a lot of
knowledge about the crime that has
been committed and we would then
need to make minor edits such as
language used to make sure it is
allowed before watershed which could
make this part seems fake and
unrealistic.

Smoking and
smoking
awareness
In this video we are going to help raise
awareness of what smoking can do to
your body, especially in early
development. By showing this production
to children, it can scare them off the idea
of taking these drugs that can lead to
serious bodily harm. The main age group
this harms is the age of 15-17, as though
a person must be 18 to buy cigarettes,
A nice way to ward people off
doing something dangerous, and
show the actual effects of smoking
without any bias. It may also help
parents to look for signs involving
their children and smoking.
It's good to visually show the
effects of smoking, so we choose a
It will be hard to show effects without
specific examples, meaning we will
have to find examples we could legally
use. Some people might be
embarrassed about their smoking
issues, and will refuse to be
interviewed.

some people may dislike the message
and go against it.
Recycling and
waste
management
With the rise of global warming the
welfare of the environment has become a
more pressing issue. Different measures
have been put in place to help lower the
carbon footprint of london. Recycling is a
big part of waste management in local
communities today. Everything from
glass to paper to food waste and be
reused or recycled of reused and gets
avoided from becoming landfill. A major
part of recycling is to preserve the
environment for future generations and
by educating the youth we preserve the
environment in turn. All glass is 100%
recyclable and most of it does end up
getting recycled but any glass thrown
away gets put into landfill and as a result
will never decompose. £36,000,000
worth of aluminium is thrown away each
year also it takes 500 years for a can to
properly decompose and if recycled
would be ready to use in 6 weeks time.
In the video we would address the issues
of public waste and waste management
The main aim of the video is to get
the message of correct waste
management to help fight against
global warming. If the video gets
the correct amount of attention
then that aim would have been
achieved.
Another positive would be that it
can help change people's habits
One issue that could occur is the
safety of the film crew when filming on
location of a landfill or relative dump.
Showing some examples of privately
owned junk yards might be difficult to
gain access to. People could also
react violently to the presence of a film
crew when questioned about their
waste management, if for instance was
not done properly.
