Commissions - Documentary Idea

When having our workshop with Zoe we were discussing all of our ideas, we had a few but we found them difficult to approach to a teenage audience. We started talking about teenagers and driving, and how less and less teenagers are taking driving lesson etc. Zoe really loved that idea and suggested we research a lot into it and find places we could go and film. She mentioned that this would really aim at a teenager audience for BBC 3 and it would be really interesting. We then started to of think of people we could film such as Driving Instructors and actual Teenagers maybe learning on how to drive. We already have a close friendship with a lot of people who are taking driving lessons and we keep in touch with our driving instructors. We were thinking of going to the Theory test centre and asking on the statistics of how many people passed/failed, that would be very interesting because we are giving the audience pictures and also key research. We were also thinking of following someones journey on their test day or even their normal day lessons, we have researched some statistics already and we are really excited to go ahead with this idea. I have permission to film with Hyundai Rockar in Bluewater which would be another great location to film as it is a company offering great affordable prices for teenagers. One of the main thing that stops teenagers from driving is how much it actually costs, and average 1 hour lesson is £25 and the tests are an extra £25 and £120 for the practical test. Usually after a lot of teenagers pass their test they are unable to afford insurance or even a car, so it makes them not want to do driving lessons.
