My initial idea for the documentary.

Description of my documentary idea

From the post of "brainstorm of document ideas", I have chosen to do my documentary on the idea of "how technology is making humans more lazy". I have chosen this idea because it is a interesting topic which is affecting everybody in the 21st century at this moment in time. It is also a problem which will rapidly grow within the next 10 years, due to the technological era we are living in.

The documentary mode will be a expository mode type of documentary. This means that my documentary will follow the codes and conventions of:

• they contain a "voice of God" narrator or commentator
• images are used to illustrate and back-up the voice over
• the visual motion picture has editing to help the story continue and back up the narrations
• contains a variety of footage, interviews, stills and archival material for evidence and support

This documentary will explore the concepts and methods of technology which is making humans lose the ability to live and fend for themselves. It will show how technology is designed to do the simplest of tasks, "claiming" to make humans jobs more easy. But as technology is advancing and growing with a boom, more products are being made to help with more advanced tasks.

Within the documentary, I will relate the topic to the Disney Pixar film of Wall-e. This is because within this movie, it shows how humans have soiled an polluted the Earth and the have moved into outer space as the planet cannot cope with the levels of pollution from excess use of technology.

Also in the movie, humans have become useless obese beings, who have their every need attended to, thanks to technology. From eating to breathing to moving and entertainment, technology is their making humans less able to fend for themselves.

At the end of the documentary, I am going to express some ideas which people can do to help lessen this problem and I will include different peoples perspective on the topic (for and against counter arguments).
