Influences and Intentions, Kim Potter, Candidate Number 8180



My first influence to create a documentary on strong opinions first occurred when Kate and I were looking at different types of documentaries. We came across a documentary ‘The Most Hated Family in America’, which is about a family that have very strong beliefs about many things. They believe that anyone who disagrees with what they believe are wrong, also they have very strong beliefs that being homosexual is very, very wrong. We both found this documentary quite interesting and agreed that there were many possibilities to create a documentary on strong opinions.
After researching more into documentaries on people with strong opinions on certain topics, we found a discussion on ‘This Morning’ between two women and their opinion on tattoos. One woman believed that tattoos were graffiti and ruined your chances in being successful in life, and the other woman believed that tattoos were beautiful and a form of art, personal to each different person with them. After watching this, I thought that creating a documentary on tattoos and people’s opinions on them, could be very interesting. As tattoos are becoming more and more popular lately I also thought that people may be more interested in this type of documentary possibly more than say 15 years ago.
