Idea Choice | Development

Neither me or Nisserin got any replies from our emails, which is quite disappointing, but Sammi did get a reply, which is really good.

The Chosen Idea

• She had previously contacted Broadditch Farm in Southfleet in Kent, and she managed to get a reply from one of the two farmers, who's name is John Harris. 
• She had asked him if we could come and talk to him about his job, in order to get some information on the farm and the way the climate is changing too rapidly. We arranged to meet up with him and put together some questions that we wanted to ask him.

• After speaking to John, we learnt a lot about the farm history and how it's all run. Through this we learnt about a scheme that they are apart of which is called 'The Countryside Stewardship Scheme'. 
• John told us about the scheme and what effects, both positive and negative, it has on the farmers and we were very interested in the scheme, as we hadn't known about it before. 
• Throughout the talk, he mentioned the fact that the scheme changes quite a lot and they have quite a lot of random inspections, similar to Ofsted in the education career. 
• We were quite shocked by this and the different restrictions that John mentioned, and we wanted to find out some more on the scheme.

• We then decided as a group, that we should base the video on the farm but also base it around the scheme and whether it's a good thing to have or not. 
• We were possibly thinking of having the meaning and/or the thesis of the documentary as 'What is the point of the scheme?'. 
• Through this we can pin point the positives of the scheme, explore those within the documentary, and then pin point and explore the negative points of the scheme.
