For my documentary I originally wanted to study the Wellington wind turbine, the effects if had on Wellington, and how wind turbine is being used in general to shape the future of energy. After doing some research into this and brainstorming some more, I decided that I would rather do something more unique, something more personal to me. I came up with doing a study on divorce and how it can effect the children of a divorce differently, depending on their age. Divorce is something my siblings have had to deal with on more than one occasion, and many of my friends are also children of divorced parents, so it is something that interests me. I'm going to interview three or four people with different stories and mix in some facts on divorce and separation.
As of right now I don't know if I want to focus on world statistics, New Zealand and U.S., or just the U.S. The U.S. is obviously the most relevant to me and will make it the easiest for gathering interviews from the people I know. I'd also like to bring in NZ, since I'm here now. However NZ and the U.S. are not actually related when it comes to divorce issues, so it might be a bit of a stretch to try to tie the two together. On the other hand, it may be interesting in that regard, to see its effects in two totally different parts of the world. Maybe not culturally, but at least geographically.
At any rate, I still have a lot to work out, but the ball is rolling and I've already begun interviewing and collecting data.
