B2: FMP - Idea Generation

c8linbaker

Updated: May 17, 2024


Where do ideas come from?

1. Interests: things that we are passionate about in our day to day lives such as TV Shows, films and hobbies.
2. Our environment: people that we surround ourselves with and the influence they have.
3. Political issues: world issues we see in the news such as war, feminism or the cost of living crisis. 
4. Social media: celebrity trends, fashion and lifestyle that show up on your personalised feed.
5. Previous projects: inspiration from previous work that could be expanded.


Idea generation:

1.Feminism: fan girls and football fans are treated differently, why?
2.Mental health: men's mental health goes unheard, why?
3.Homelessness: a lot of homelessness in Nottingham, why?
4.Vaping: dangerous craze, we don't know the long term effects.
5.Films: Is cinema dying?
6.Royals: Should we abolish the monarchy?
7.Voting: Should not allow older people to vote?
8.Fast Fashion: is it ruining the world? How can we be more sustainable?


We were tasked by our tutor to try using ChatGPT as a tool to help us with our idea generation. Below are screenshots of what I asked and ChatGPT's response. I find this very useful and will be using a few points in my work.

My question:


ChatGPT's response:


What's your idea?

Project title: Internalised Misogyny in Fan Culture
Subject: The everyday pressures of being a woman, internalised misogyny.
Medium: TV segment, article, magazine layout, and possibly a podcast?
Audience: The audience of NEON is Gen-Z, teenagers of a similar age to me.
Angle: Internalized Misogyny in Fan Culture: the pressures of being a woman.
Scope: Why is it that 'fan girls' who are predominantly female, are treated so differently to football fans who are predominantly male? We all have the same passion.
Inspo & why?: I am a 'fan girl' myself of artists such as Harry Styles and Taylor Swift, we get heavily judged when we get emotional over these artists or whenever we show an ounce of passion. However, it's different for football fans. They are able to cry and throw fists when a goal is missed and cheer when their team wins without anyone batting an eyelid. Why? Why is this fair? In my experience it's often the football fans making the comments about fan girls, but what makes us so different?

I asked ChatGPT for talking points and then proceeded to put them into a mind map as shows below:


Who?

1.Someone who is experiencing the subject you're dealing with (primary)
&
2.Someone who has a god professional/academic overview of this subject (secondary)

Primary:
Feminism society - UON or NTU
Interview fan girls and fan boys, more or less football fans in the TV studio
"Has being a fan ever made you emotional? for example crying or fighting"

Secondary:

Leora (perfect) - specialises in fan culture



Email draft:

Dear (insert name) , 
I am Caitlin Baker, a trainee journalist with Neon Nottingham, a small, youth-led platform for aspiring journalists (www.neonnottingham.com). 

I'm currently planning to write an article and conduct a TV segment on 'Internalised Misogyny Within Fan Culture'. I was hoping that I could interview you for this article.

The interview would take no more than 30 minutes, and I'm happy to conduct this in person in our Nottingham College TV studio or via Zoom. It would need to take place between Wednesday 17th April - Friday 19th April or Wednesday 24th April - Friday 26th April between 10am-2pm. If you are happy to comply I will send more information with regards to the talking points, questions etc.

If you have any questions please don't hesitate to ask.
 
Kind regards, Caitlin Baker
