Today i started researching different aspects of my documentary, i am planning on researching the NBA, the BBL, an american basketball player which will be Dwyane Wade and a British basketball  player in Luol Deng and go through each players rise to were they are now in the NBA, i will also look at the grass roots level in each country, comparing the opportunities and provision given to young players in each country. 

Wednesday 4th March

Today i stated some initial ideas for what my documentary is going to be about, first of i was going to do British Basketball and how it does not compare to America at any level, then i changed my mind again and i asked if i could do it specifically on Dwyane Wade and his rise to the NBA, but my teacher told me it would be too difficult, so with this i decided to tie both ideas into one, and am doing comparing british and american basketball and comparing a british basketball player in the NBA and an American player in the NBA and going through their past and how they got to were they are now.

Today we started looking at different types of documentaries and gaining information into how we should make ours. We looked at the codes and conventions of a documentary and also the history and how the became how big they are today. We then researched 4 specific documentaries and analysed them carefully to gain a better understanding for how documentaries work. I also had a meeting with my teacher to discuss my topic idea and how i plan to research all the aspects of the documentary
