Here are the ideas we had on topics for a documentary:
- Social issues: unemployment, homelessness, racism, Conservative/Lib Dem Coalition.
- Barnsley Hospital.
- Art in Barnsley.
- The regeneration of Barnsley.
Out of these we thought the best two were Barnsley Hospital and the regeneration of Barnsley. We then decided that it would be very hard to get permission to film around the hospital as we would get in the way and patient confidentiality would be breached if we were to film them. This left us with the regeneration of Barnsley, which we decided was the best idea anyway because we can film the college which is in the process of being built, then review other recently built buildings like the bus station, Gateway Plaza, the Civic and the new council buildings. We can also get interviews from people who work for the council, and older people who can give an account on how Barnsley has changed over the past few decades.
