Decisions!

Over the past few days, I have done a lot of thinking about what the topic of my documentary should be. I was very torn between doing a documentary about the effects of the tragic events that took place at Stoneman Douglas, or a documentary about women in sports. To help me decide what to do I decided to weigh out the pros and cons of each. Here's what I came up with:

MSD doc:

Pros- 
- This doc would feature multiple people from around my school Cypress Bay, therefore I would not have to rely on one person to be the subject of my whole film. This would mean that I would not have to work around another person's schedule. 
- I have already created an intro for this documentary that I really like

Cons- 
- I would need to find a way to go about creating this documentary to make it seem like it could have multiple episodes.  
- Since it is a very sensitive topic I would need to come up with questions that mainly focus on the positive changes that have come from this event and avoid questions that could offend or make others uncomfortable. 
- Many of the security guards at my school prefer not to be filmed or asked questions, and those who are willing to be interviewed have very busy schedules

Women In Sports doc:

Pros- 
- The place I would like to film at has already given me permission to film in the gym
- I have a subject to film who has a very similar schedule to mine
- I have a very good idea of how I would make this documentary into a multiple part series
- I know multiple female athletes that would be willing to be featured on my website

Cons- 
- I would have to start completely from scratch
- It might be hard to film in the CrossFit gym because of the lighting

So after weighing out my options, I think I have officially decided that I will be doing the Women In Sports documentary because it is something that I am truly passionate about and interested in.
