This is an easy idea you are looking for. A concept that has not been showcased till now or a concept that is not as clear as you would like it to be. Step 1 is to formulate the idea and do as much research as possible unless it becomes an abstract topic about which no one has heard about it.

Search for examples of what you wish so that you will come to know exactly what you to do and how you will do it. This goes for both television production and documentaries.

Check out the locations where you plan to shoot and find out if it's possible to create a backdrop if your budget doesn't allow a certain destination. A perfect backdrop is important to give it a perfect look and feel.
