Idea Research



To try and get some inspiration for an idea for our short docu-film we asked a group of year 8 students on what they dream about. This is because we knew we wanted to base our docu-film on dreams and the brain in some way but we weren't 100% sure on how to do this. We spoke to a class of year 8 students and got them all to write down something they dream about. Some responses were about ridiculous things however the most common theme was people dreaming about meeting someone, whether it was meeting David Beckham or superman it was still a very common theme. From this we managed to come up with the idea of what if someone has a dream, meets someone in the dream and the becomes fixed on trying to find this person in real life. Although the idea didn't come directly from the research we did on dreams, it definitely stemmed from the research we gained and the common themes seen in the dreams. In addition if we based our idea on something that people commonly dreamed about then it could make our character more relatable to people as they too have dream about meeting someone and perhaps woken up thinking what if that person is real. We felt this made our docu-film more relatable and engaging.




This is all the research we gathered.
