Physical
When you hear the word, "dislocation", I think the first thought in everyone's mind is something in the body. That could be a dislocated arm, leg, wrist; but in my personal opinion, I think keeping in the physical mind set would make an interesting documentary.
Location/Time
After thinking over with the theme for a few days, my first main idea was something along the lines of being stuck in a place or a time where you think you don't belong. This can be anything from a 'Freaky Friday' state where you're stuck in someone else's body and have to live someone else's life. I also thought of today's generation where people will look up to the likes of Marilyn Monroe and wish there had been born or grew up in the era she had been around, and everything from music to fashion, some say "I was born in the wrong generation". I possibly want to look into something of being stuck in a time or location and not being sure why the character is there and going with them to figure it out. Using this 'plot point', if you did good enough research you could maybe find someone or a few people for a documentary who believe they don't belong in this generation and dress like they are still in the 50's, 60's, 70's for example, and base the documentary around why they would prefer living in a different era to what they live in now.
Psychological
Every topic you delve into in film making needs research but if you were to make either a fictional story or documentary of a psychological nature, your research needs to be on power depending on what type of issue you would be using within your story. I always like the idea of going into a deeper state of mind and with our theme, it would be easily achievable. A film that I would like to explore further if I chose to go into this side, would be "Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind". I have seen this film once before and when thinking psychological, this film was something that shot out of my head immediately because of the relationship within the story and the journey of living through something and it being taken away because it being there, just hurt so much.

These were just a few of the routes I could go down with my final year film, but I want to try and take some time to further my ideas that I have so far as well as develop new ones. I'm really looking forward to coming up with some new ideas following some extra research.
