No News is good news - Research concept building

Monday, 19 October 2009

Today we had to look at the newspaper that we picked up on saturday in order to pick out a headline and story. We were then split into partners to discuss the headline and help narrow our search down to one headline. We had to look for a title that we would be able to research as this would be the source of inspiration for the forceable future. We were then given a sheet to help build our concept and separate our areas of research. Highlighted is the headline i chose.


CONCEPT:
' The torture files must be released'
'What a way to treat our heroes'
'Twitter Twits'
'So why does everyone hate you, Mr President?'
'Leslie ash reveals MRSA Painkillers plight'
' The superbug saved my life'

IDEAS:
1. Looking at MRSA superbug
2. Celebrity Crash - alcoholics etc
3. Alcoholics - alcohol fueled life
4. Leslie Ash's story
5. Wife Beating
6. Lee - Her husband documented argument
7. Leslie before
8. Other failed actors/actresses
9. Similar Stories
10. Wake up call stories for everyday people and celebs.

SELECT THREE IDEAS THAT YOU WILL TAKE FORWARD TO RESEARCH AND INVESTIGATE FURTHER (expand on research methods processes):

1. MRSA - the superbug - What it entails - what symptoms - how you get it - why you get it - what it does to your system - how it can be controlled - what hospitals have it the most - cures/prevention - looking on the internet/ journals etc.

2. Alcoholics - Main stream celebrities. Why they are, what happened to them (dead/alive) - what it does to your system. Leslie story - abusive relationships - what effect it has on other people.

3. 'Rash wake up calls' - any stories can be celebs etc. Look at varying stories but life changing stories.
