documentary final major project
script
my script for my documentary will aim to be 7 minutes long and is there to support me and i dont always have to stay on script as if theres any more information that comes to mind that isn't already on the script i can just say it and then carry on with the script.
pros and cons of social media
target audience
for my target audience i have done primary and secondary research of other documentaries that are similar to the one im creating and using the research that i have got i can say that my target audience is going to be teens and young adults as sources say that teens and young adults are most affected by social media and so they have to be the most aware of it.
cons about social media
Algorithmic Manipulation
personalised feeds control what you see and that content is optimised to maximise attention and not the actual truth and users are nudged towards making certain actions on social media.
Addiction & Mental Health
social media can cause anxiety and depression mainly targeting teenagers and that social media also causes low self esteem.
Misinformation & Polarisation
social media can create false and extreme content as this type of content is pushed out more and spreads faster as it drives alot of engagement from the users and this contributes to political division.
Surveillance Capitalism
social media companies collect vasts amounts of their users data to then later be sold to other big companies that then influence and predict users behaviour and can also be used to monitor a user and the user themselves becomes the commodity.
clear purpose and message
research
strong interviews and vox pops
one of my features of my documentary is going to be some vox pops with people and i will be asking them what they think about social media and if they like it or not and then if they are clueless about the behind the scenes of social media i will inform them about it and get their reaction.
narrative structure
visual storytelling
in my documentary visual storytelling will play a big part as it allows me to show instead of tell and i can use visual metaphors and edit everything into pace with everything else going on and that i can add graphics and on screen text to make everything fit together
dramatisation
sound effects and music
editing techniques
my documentary will include visual effects and graphics to make it more entertaining and engaging as if the documentary is too dull and bland some of the information that i say might just go over peoples heads and by adding some engaging music and graphics it can catch peoples attention more and make them focus on what im saying
balance and perspective
emotional impact
my documentary will be using the emotional impact of it to a advantage as many people after watching may feel different types of ways like feeling guilty and self realisation and that is exactly the point of the documentary, to make people realise.
how i will distrbute
i will post the finished product onto youtube and set it as "unlisted"
branding
pros about social media
raises global awareness
biggest strength of the documentary will be how it will bring complex issues into the mainstream conversation and how it will help users to question their digital habits
the credibility of the insiders
i will use sources that come straight from the insiders of these big social media companies and their testimonies will be authentic and difficult to dismiss and these are the people who once helped build the systems that they are now criticising
complex ideas easy to understand
my documentary will make concepts like data mining and algorithms easy to understand as they can be very technical and i will describe them in clear explanations so that everyone can understand me
highlights real social issues
my documentary will bring light and attention to important problems such as the mental health challenges in teenagers and the online addiction patterns and how easily misinformation can spread on social media
strong storytelling
my documentary will have a mix of interviews and dramatised storytelling and by me doing this it keeps the viewers emotionally engaged and it also helps illustrate the real life consequences and without me doing this the documentary would feel too dry
sparks debates and further research
after watching my documentary some viewers might want to research more into some of my points that i make and discuss social media patterns with other people that are aware or not aware of it.
keeps people connected eg some people rely on social media and their mobile phone sto communicate to their partner abd without socila media this would be very hard.
audience that are not aware
subtitles
sensitive topics
uncontroversial]
ending on a good note
go out and record a train station and capture people all on their phones and make a point that everyone is glued to their phones and mostly glued to social media
