My 3 Documentary ideas

Idea 1
My first idea is to have a documentary about a mental health ward/housing. It is to have the documentary follow 3 different people and their experiences of living on the ward and why they are there and what type of mental illness they have. One person will have OCD, one will have bipolar and one will have schizophrenia. They will all have very different experiences of the house. One will be nearly cured on their illness, one will be in the middle of their treatment and one will have just been admitted. There will also be an interview with the manager of the ward/house speaking about each of the individuals and what the ward provides and what treatment they are each having and how they are improving.

Idea 2
My second idea is a documentary about obesity. It is going to follow a group of very obese teenagers who are struggling with their weight so they go to an obesity camp to try and loose the weight. They each talk about why they are the size they are and the life experiences they have had and why they are at the camp. You will see them doing different training things and there will also be an interview with a personal trainer to give advice to any other obese teenagers and a psychologist to give advice to teenagers who are going through the same problems that the teenagers here are going through. Such as bullying, problems at home, self confidence and insecurities that cause them to eat more and then become bigger.

Idea 3
My third and final idea is again about mental health. This would be a documentary following my own experiences of having OCD and going on a journey to try and find out more about the illness and why I may suffer with it. This would include talking about my own thoughts and feelings towards it, talking about the stigma attached to it, talking about how different it is to what people assume it is like as well as talking to one other person with OCD to show how much it varies between people and interviewing a professional to talk about OCD and the symptoms as well as the different treatments.

The idea I have chosen to do is my third idea. I have chosen to do this idea because I think it is the most interesting and will be the most captivating to create. It discusses issues that are very much in the public eye at the moment and that have a lot of stigma attached to them that I believe needs changing therefore creating my documentary on it I think will be very fulfilling.
