1. Narrative/Content
2. Cast
   1. Who do I want to include within the doc?
      1. Who could be an interesting subject to talk to?
3. Music
   1. Music is a bit part of documentary making, and it can really inflict on the emotional response the audience have on a film
4. Titles
5. Meerkat
   1. Those with misophonia are always on high alert for sound around them. It's not just the sound that creates that discomfort they feel, its the anticipation of it
6. Living with Misophonia: The enemy of sound
7. Fight or flight
8. The enemy of sound
9. Sensory Overload
10. Triggered
11. Parent of child with misophonia
12. Child with misophonia
    1. This could be the main 'character' to use as I want people to feel sympathy, this is more easily done by using a child
    2. Could get a personal insight into what it's like to live with it as a young person - what problems they face
13. Adult with misophonia
    1. Getting the viewpoint of an adult compared to a child may be interesting as they have coped with it longer
    2. An adult may be more relateable to an average audience member, so hearing how they go about their day and are able to work would be something interesting to look into
14. Specialist on the topic
    1. Therapist
       1. Horse therapy
15. It doesnt only affect the child with misophonia, it also affects the people around them
    1. Could ask questions such as how much it affects them and what result it has had on their life.
       1. For a parent to suddenly have to change everything they do and support the child to such a level of degree, is a lot
          1. How do they cope with this
16. Its important to get the side of someone more relatable. Due to the severity and information driven aspect of the documentary, it is likely that the target audience is going to be of older ages, so including a parent may make it a more enagaging and relateable.
17. Target audience
18. Target audience is a big factor in any production, there is no point in producing something if no one is going to watch it.
    1. For this particular idea, I am anticipating the average population to not have much kowledge on the subject of misophonia
19. This could lead to quite an emotional interview - this is enagaging and helps induce that emotioanl response I am looking for from the audience
    1. Stuart Halls Audience reception theory
       1. My preferred reading within this interview is that they really connect with the parent and feel sympathy for the position they are in
          1. Despite saying this, the sympathy is mostly with the child who has misophonia as they are the ones having to go through it
20. Focusing on a particular person
21. More generalised on the subject
22. Would it be that engaging? Would I have enough of a story to tell?
23. Problems with the idea
    1. Consent to find someone who would allow me to do this
    2. Though it would be very in depth, it might get boring for the audience if I am only following one person with misophonia
24. Intense close up of an eye twitching and looking side to side - well lit
    1. Dutch angle to add uneasiness
       1. Must be careful with using this as if its over used it can seem quite comedic, I don't want this
25. Introduction idea
26. Cut to close ups of triggers in the house
27. Sounds getting more and more intense, the edge of the screen getting smaller and smaller and the frame crumpling in on itself
28. Then key frame it to speed up all of a sudden - black screen and silence
29. I want this introduction to be powerful and memorable - the audience need to be PULLED in to the documentary.
    1. It's somethinig not many people know about, so I think if I am to create such an impactful introduction I can pull them in to learning
       1. There is the chance that audience members may find it funny or ironic that normal scenarios are playing out infront of them, but as the sounds get louder and everything gets more intense, the overstimulation may have an impact on them and they may start to feel discomfort.
          1. Its strange to say this, but it would be quite good to have the audience feeling this discomfort as I want to represent how people with misophonia feel.
30. After the intense scene ends, they are met with a black screen and the word 'Misophonia'
    1. perhaps also the definition
31. It would be good to get the view point of a specialist as I would further be able to ask questions to them
32. What sorts of coping mechanisms are there? This could link with the child and adult with misophonia to see how they compare from ages
    1. From my experience with my brother, I know that horse therapy - whether it's effective or not is a different question
33. What I do know is that he has grown to like animals a lot and they provide him with a lot of comfort - we have gained a hamster, 3 chickens and a snake
    1. this could definetly be something to look into
       1. The use of actuality footage could be used when talking about this - feeding chickens
34. Is it because it gives structure? Is it because he knows animals wont trigger him so he can find comfort being with them?
35. There is the issue that I do not know an adult who has misophonia, so I would have to find someone to do this
    1. To the severity I am looking for, its quite a rare condition so find someone may be quite difficult
       1. Using facebook groups may be a good way to find someone/gain knowledge from people who have it
36. Use misophonia facebook groups to ask what they would like to see in a documentary that discusses misophonia
    1. I want to represent them appropriately
37. Could get a real insight into living with misophonia
38. Information based documentary
39. Use of animations and VFX
40. The music is going to change depending on the scenario
41. Early stages of it
42. Recognisation
43. Diagnosis
44. Funding and help
45. Living with it
46. Using a slow shutter speed when recording this may make it seem more daunting and add empahsis to what I am trying to demonstrate
47. What effect misophoia has on people
48. Family life
49. Generalised anxiety
50. PTSD
51. Social anxiety
52. Agoraphobia
    1. fear of leaving home
53. Impact on work life
54. Understanding misophonia
55. Relatively new condition
56. Lack of understanding in health profession
    1. Lack of treatment
       1. no cure
57. Society not understanding what it is
58. Sad dramatic doc music in background
    1. conventioanal but effective
59. Problem
60. Empathy and understanding
61. What does the audience get out of it
62. The fact that eddies going to have to live with it
