I have found inspiration from a few different sources, the most notable of which however, is the online magazine Vice. I have watched a vast number of documentaries on the vice website as well as their Youtube channel and this has led me to pick up on a few codes and conventions that they use whilst filming factual pieces. One of these conventions is that they tend to report on the unreported, the things that the mainstream media won't, or are to scared to report on. I recently watched a documentary of theirs entitled Suicide forest. It is about The Aokigahara Forest, which is one of the biggest suicide hotspots in Japan. This is the kind of story that the mainstream don't report on and one that I am interested in. Whenever I have any spare time I tend to float onto the website to check out any new Documentaries that they have posted as they tend to be very interesting and insightful.
