Sheldon: Oh, don't be silly. I'm a fan of anything that tries to replace actual human contact.” )
getting to know someone
- talk with old friends
- no need for going out
- some get bored overtime, having a website where you can look at a variety of images (Tumblr) or to have a site where you can chat with friend.

Also a picture of the login/welcome page to facebook, implying the idea that the school blocked facebook had been infact hacked.

 Editing schedule:
I plan to edit during mostly every second lesson we have therefore i can work on the video itself during every first lesson.

For this website, a young junior Olivia Buckley explores the reasons in which students/ teenagers are addicted to Tumblr. In general the website explains what Tumblr is, when it was created, and why people find themselves on the site daily. The reason for using this site it because I wanted to get the point of view from people just like her. She is still in high school therefore she is going through that type of phase meaning she can relate to the rest of the student body.

http://brainblogger.com/2011/01/07/social-network-addiction-a-scientific-no-mans-land/

So far i have looked at many videos/archival footage on Youtube, along with a variety of websites. I think that all the above websites i have taken notes on and i plan to place them into my video.

Investigation:

I decided to review certain documentaries:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DNBtwM2Ps6o&feature=fvsr
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4Mgm4Crvs2I

Here are the notes i took on it:

Many people, of all agers whether they are a teenager not have come across the problem of social media addiction. In general addictions are seen as “one of the toughest problems facing our culture today” according to the website: http://healthymind.com/addictions.html
According to this website there are two key elements that help contain and comprehend the idea of addictions. Tolerance and factors that influence it.

Today there are over 400 millions users of facebook
500 billions minutes per month

“im always on facebook” the add
Phone companies have found a way to get the attention of viewers. They have done this by adding internet to the phone, there is even a facebook app on most phones today.
Always something to bring you back- games, communication ETC.

Access is everywhere

Housebond- if you are grounded you get your phone taken off you facebook is still there to communicate with.

“eating my life away”

Staying up late, putting off work that needs to be completed. 

RESEARCH QUESTIONS: 
1. What makes social media websites so addicting?
2. What are the physical and mental effects of such addictions?
3. What can be done to "get rid" of the addiction?

MY DESIGN GOAL:
Is to educate the people of M5 on the current affair of media addictions (such as Facebook and Tumblr)

TARGET MARKET:
Class of M5, and other teenagers who are uneducated on this topic. 

DESIGN SPECIFICATIONS: 
1.Research should be finished within 2 weeks of investigating.
2. All footage must be complete within at least 2 weeks prior before the documentary is due.  
3. images for the video must be found imminently in order to begin creating the documentary.
4. archival footage must be collected within 3 weeks prior beginning.   

EVALUATION METHODS:
My documentary will be evaluated by others viewing my video, following that there will be a list of questions for them to fill out for me to receive feedback. 

STANDARDS FOR SUCCESS:
My documentary will be successful if and only if the viewer receives information about the topic and learns facts that they did not know prior before watching my video.

THE PROBLEM

The problem is to create a documentary for M5's viewing on a topic of your own choice.

My basic idea was on the mind map, however, here is my main idea below:
i want to create a documentary on addictions to social media websites such as Facebook and Tumblr. I plan to use students in M5 because most are always on Facebook and even Tumblr.
