Idea

Documentary Proposal

This documentary is based on social media. I believe there’s positive way in social media. But I’m going to explain how social media affect you in a negative way than positive way.

Mainly, I would talk about social media addiction and fake account/ fake celebrities. Social media addiction is a major topic everybody talks about and consider about, even in medical industry. It’s providing day by day there’s an addiction, people glue into their social media. So, I’m going to explore the major point of that and include that information to interviews. Then, it could be helps to prove the points which I mentioned above.

The audience is age 15 and above audience. I’m expecting they would understand there’s a bad and dark side in social media; it is growing every day, every minute. So, we all need to have a barrier to social media. They would understand there’s life beyond social media. I hope they would start to enjoy their life more than before. Personally, I hate to see people glue into their social media. Especially, teenagers.

Characters

Basically, I hope to have a narration in my documentary. So, it would be like observational documentary. There are one or two interviews include. But at this moment I didn’t plan to make story or the characters to my documentary.

 Interviews

I planned to have ordinary type interviews. I actually done one interview and I did that as an example interview but now I think I can get some parts of that interview to my documentary as well. Basically, I did that interview with friend and member of my group. More details in the above example interview section.

Conflict

Social media is a huge platform, even now it’s transforming to an online market. Sometimes I think it would be the only will we use to do our everything in the future. Somehow it can be real. Social media is what? Social media is the platform which we use to connect with people through the internet. But, do people remember why they created this platform? I think everyone forget that.

But I like to explain what we can, do in social media, the positive side of the social media rather than talking about the bad side of it. Major positive thing I found is, we connect with people through social media. Your family members, long distance relatives, your friends, love ones or your business partners, your online customers etc. It makes long distance to a very short distance; it makes it’s in home. Second, you can do your jobs through social media. As in past you don’t have to go to office, you can do your work while you are staying at home, while you are travelling, anywhere you comfortable to work. I think that’s huge revolution happened with social media.  Third, you can improve your knowledge and skills thorough out the social media. In social media, we could meet professional personalities, academics, tutors who are like to share their knowledge to other. 

Audience biases

At this kind of a topic we would get positive and negative opinions from audience. My topic is “social media and your life”, so, some people really social media for them; that’s their whole life. Also, some are against that. As an example, some people are saying social media makes easy to connect with people and that’s good. But some people are saying social media can be addict and it can ruin your day today life and that means social media is bad.

The main thing I’m expecting to audience to understand is, “social media can be a good thing but there’s a dark side in it.”

Also, I did two interview and they are in target audience range. Both interviews had two viewpoints but end of it; both came to a certain point and that was both them believe there’s a dark side in social media. And it’s helping to prove my point.

Structure

During the introduction I’m going to explain my topic. In that, I’ll provide details how social media and our lives glued to each one.

In the cover area, I’m going to talk about the positive and the negative side of the social media. In percentages, 30% of the time I’m going to talk about the positive side of the social media and 70% of time talk about negative/ dark side of the social media. It includes interviews also.

Finally, the summarising, during that time I’m going to talk about how we have to deal with social media, how we can focus on benefit of social media, how manage your social media without addict to it.

Resolution

End of the film to accomplish that, I have to prove the facts and ideas are true. I don’t need to it have to be 100% true, but I’m expecting to audience to believe there’s a truth, they never noticed. I like to see they see this film as a helpful one. For that, I’m going to provide reasonable facts and it will help to my audience to understand what the purpose of this film is.

Unique qualifications

I think the unique qualification I have is, I had experience social media addiction, and I believed myself and manage to control my social media life. So, I like to share that belief I had “social media is a good thing but sometimes it could be affected to my life and so I have to manage that as soon as possible”.

Logistics

 The main problem I have is, time management and find and interview people who expect in social media analysing. So, to resolve first problem, I have to make plan to manage my time, for second problem, I’m going to find the facts and opinions provided by social media analysts. I guess that will help me to fill that part with their opinions.
