Shooting Schedule

I plan on getting a all my basic question outline and really focalize what I am doing after I am doing by this Wed. and confirming that my plan of action is good after i visit with you on Wed.

After that i plan on doing my shooting on Friday and through the weekend, When start editing at the start of next week

Proposal Final

I want to find out about the deeper reason behind Facebook. I am interested if subconsciously people are using Facebook in order to tell other what they are doing in real life, so they use their virtual life to make their real life more interesting. Or is the opposite true? Do people do things in real life in order for their virtual identity in to seem more entertaining and make others think more highly, in this case they use the real world to improve their virtual world.

Now the audiences in this documentary are going to be other UK freshman, the reason I am focusing on them is because this documentary is about how people are using either Facebook or the real life to improve their social status, and UK freshman students usually participate in similar social things. So the question becomes are people more interested in their virtual life or the real life. The people I plan on interviewing for this are the ones who go to these social events like Basketball games, and those who participate in a lot of these events. Now the reason these students should care about this is it gives them an understanding for things that they might have done or want to do. It also gives insight to the motives on why they might have done certain things in their life, and this can provide some information about it.

Now I plan on shooting around campus especially where people go in order to hang out and be social. These are the places that I am interested in because they are being social and almost everyone has a Facebook so they would have to the two components that make up this question. Now I’m not exactly sure of my shooting schedule yet, it really depends on when I can get my questions together. The main difficulty will be in these questions, because people will not admit that they do things because of Facebook, because saying you got into something because it was popular on Facebook, so I am going to have to find a way to get around the topic, but not be to direct with it.

Now as of right now I am planning to make this documentary in the flow of, starting out with the two questions. In this part of the documentary I will be talking about my two questions, and I am going to talking about how these two things can take place, and how they could actually happen and why they happen. Then towards the middle will be the point that I am talking to people, and getting information out of them. Then the last part of the documentary will be when I am combining all of the information in order to get an answer to my question. I will then describe the answer and talk about why I think that is that answer and what it says about people.

Proposal Draft

For my documentary I am going to observe how Facebook changes people. By this I am wondering if people act differently in the real world so they are able to talk about it in their cyber world. If the power of the all mighty “like” button can make people go out and do things they usually wouldn’t do in order to get likes on their Facebook. Or maybe people saw things on Facebook that got popularity and they wanted to become a part of it so they could join that group of people and make them seem more popular on their cyber profile.

Now I big difficulty in this subject is finding people to interview. The difficult part is that no one would want to admit that they are doing things only for Facebook likes, or that they joined certain groups just because they wanted to see the popularity in their Facebook rise. To get around this I am going to have to find ways to get the information I need, but not at a direct approach. My questions are going to have to be very carefully worded, because people will get defensive about it if I go directly at it, and then I will not be able to get the information I need.

Now I would want to interview people that are in sports or clubs, because they may have become interested in them because of things that they saw off of Facebook, or saw a rise in popularity of that through it. Other people I would like to interview are those who go to things like concerts, plays, or anything like that, because they might be wanting to go to the so they can post pictures and make them seem outgoing, and very exciting.

Now the shots I would be looking for in this documentary are pretty much where people do things that could be entertaining to talk about or even that are boring, but they can talk about how they have to do these things and get response. Some of the entertaining things might be like, movies, and any stadiums. Now some examples of the boring things could be like at the library, where someone can talk about how they have to study all day for school, and then people can respond saying like how they feel badly for them and those types of things.

Now in this documentary I am really focusing on how people not only do things for Facebook, but all social media. I am just really interested in how people try to combine things like a virtual world and the real world, and try to use one in order to improve the other. And I am also interested in which one people are trying to improve. I have been focusing on how people use the real world to make them seem more popular or more entertaining in the virtual world, but I have to also accept the fact that I might be thinking of this in the opposite way. Maybe it is the fact that people use Facebook or any other social media in order to make announcements about there real word events which would help improve that part of it.
