At that point a lot of questions came to my mind and I realized that we had to think this through once again and visualize what we want to see in our documentary.
What did we really want to focus on?
What are actually the reasons and causes of a shrinking inequality in Peru?
When we tried brainstorming on the white board I realized that maybe we weren’t ready to finalize the outline of the documentary because we didn’t know enough about the topic.
Were we doing enough research?
Do we have enough research already?
We had changed our topic so many times that I was really worried again because we didn’t have a clear idea—once again—of what we wanted to focus on for this unit.
Carolina and I went directly to the library were we could have a brainstorming session with no one else bothering us and after almost an entire hour of brainstorming we had it. We had three most important topics to include in the documentary that was causing the wealth gap in Peru. But, after a while we also realized that we weren’t seeing the ECONOMIC SIDE of the effect on the WEALTH GAP. We were planning on talking about education and living standards and health insurance, etc., but we weren’t including information such as GDP, taxes, interest rates, loans, and other essential information that was really the cause of this shrinking wealth gap.
What I learned from this is that you need a base to everything from where you can grow into something bigger, which in this case is our documentary.
