Shooting Schedule

I plan to do most of my filming on Saturday around noon and carry the latter half of my filming into next week, however, all filming will be done by Wednesday evening so I can review my film and begin putting my documentary together. Most of my filming is going to take place in the Kirwan tower, since that is where my friends live. There, I will be interviewing my friends Shauntionne and Je'Esha. Shauntionne is someone who is very social but uses social media minimally, while Je'Esha is social but never uses any social media. During the week, I plan to interview Whitney at Blazer or, weather permitting, outside. Whitney uses social media a lot. I want to interview people on both ends of the spectrum (and in the middle) so that I can easily recognize their personality differences and analyze the role that social media plays for them in communicating. Over the break, I am going to interview my dad. He is the ultimate Facebooker, and I want to ask him about any instances in which he may have experienced some type of miscommunication on Facebook. I also plan on asking him about the ways in which social media has helped him reconnect with friends and perhaps made him more vocal.

Honestly, I feel like when I write my ideas down, I'm kind of all over the place. I want to highlight the ways in which social media takes away from communication, but I also want to look at how it is really helpful for those who are shy, and how it reopens (or continues) communication between old friends. Maybe I'll start off my documentary by looking at the negative aspects of social media and end with giving my audience hope by looking at the positive aspects of it.
