Changing

Today, a member of our group was absent. Another peer and myself have decided that basing our documentary on the subculture topic was getting rather difficult, and our interviewees were not reliable. We debated and discussed this issue and have now decided to change our documentary to an easier topic. We have discussed changing our documentary to about clothes say about you, and what they say about different people such as students/policemen etc.

I used this website to help with the ideas for different questions.
