Living with agoraphobia -
A sympathetic view on an agoraphobia sufferer , generally following the person as he/she tries to cope with not being able to set foot outside without a psychiatric nurse with them or another person
We could follow them to appointments with psychiatric doctors and to counselling to try to help them cope with the affliction
Maybe have an interview question and answer session with the subject

Journey Through UK - A documentary following a group as they walk from southern england to the scottish border or beyond.
Could potentially be people living off the charity of others as they do the journey, or it could be the people doing the journey for charity. Another idea is to see how cheap it would be to get from on end of the country to another. This could play on the recent increase in air travel costs and even the introduction of the UK's first £1000 train ticket - http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/8340561.stm
It was suggested that it could be a journey through the USA, however since it is significantly larger the journey would have to invlove driving from one area to another possibly through as many states as possible to show the less travelled road. If i was to do this i could potentially travel from Alaska, through Canada and down the west coast to Phoenix, Arizona as an end point due to my family there. I would really like to do this as the USA has always fascinated me. If i was to do it i could probably use the charity of others look for the film and compare it to the stereotypical british view that all americans are arrogant. The only things that would put me off this are Money issues, Visa issues, and the fact i can't drive.
At the moment this project is on the back burner with the potential to be used for an FYP
Facebook Addiction - Documenting the phenomenon of social networking and the dark sides of it including the criminal activities that some people use it for.
Suggested that it could be juxtaposed with the journey through UK idea to show contrasts between different types of people (Laziness Vs Active etc)
