Narrative Structure Plan - Draft__**
 * __23/04/2010
 * 1) Define "Sport" > Title screen with definition of sport
 * 2) Interviews...*use vox pops here*..."What do you consider a sport?", rapid cutting to create fast pace.
 * 3) __History of sport__ . Older sports ---> newer sports i.e. Chess ---> rugby/soccer/hockey/netball ---> Spelling Bees ---> Quidditch. Use stills of sports here, also use voiceover.
 * 4) __"So why do people play sports?"__, Title screen with question. Interview members of different sports teams here.
 * 5) __Sports hold an important place in society, Why?__...use of voiceover to achieve narrative flow

6. Looking back, does that man that chess, quidditch and spelling bees are NOT sports?
 * why does it exsist?
 * Popularity > Health > social
 * Push play
 * Televised sport, what is the need for it? Fan vs player
 * Use dual screen, this will show comparison of sports

[] ...if you are reduced to the role of a passive spectator, then what kind of knowledge do you have? How can common sense emerge in this context? CHOMSKY: Well, let me give an example. When I'm driving, I sometimes turn on the radio and I find very often that what I'm listening to is a discussion of sports. These are telephone conversations. People call in and have long and intricate discussions, and it's plain that quite a high degree of thought and analysis is going into that. People know a tremendous amount. They know all sorts of complicated details and enter into far-reaching discussion about whether the coach made the right decision yesterday and so on. These are ordinary people, not professionals, who are applying their intelligence and analytic skills in these areas and accumulating quite a lot of knowledge and, for all I know, understanding. On the other hand, when I hear people talk about, say, international affairs or domestic problems, it's at a level of superficiality that's beyond belief.
