Monday Madness!

Happy Monday!

I have of things to get done this week!! Today I want to be done compiling a list of episode ideas. I have been doing more research on documentaries and docuseries that already exist about the vaping topic and topics similar to vaping. I have decided that five episodes is going to be a good amount for me to think of.

I think that for the episode that I actually film the excerpt from I want to focus on the point of views of parents and what they think about this vaping epidemic. For my documentary at the beginning of the year, I focused on two teenagers and their experiences with vaping. I felt that focusing on teenagers who have personally been affected by the effects of vaping was very powerful and really showed how serious this problem is. Here is a link to my documentary if you want to take a look! https://youtu.be/olPmSP8xsx8

I was really happy with how the interviews with the two teenagers went, but I am also looking forward to seeing a different point of view. I feel that by interviewing parents I am able to see an outsiders view on the issue. I plan on reading the parents some statistics and quotes from teenagers who vape and having the parents discuss how they feel about them.

As for the other episodes, I have compiled a list of other ideas.

  • Vaping epidemic- POV of school administration
  • Vaping epidemic- POV of medical professionals
  • Behind the scenes with CEO of Juul
  • Vaping epidemic- POV of people personally affected by vaping (in hospital or people who have lost loved ones)
These are just potential ideas. I do not have to actually produce these episodes so I have a little more room with creativity and abstract ideas. 

So, that's all for today! Throughout the week I plan on researching and gathering more information for the excerpt.
