Rosalin Zein is planning a 5 minute documentary on social networking conventions. They will use a presenter and archival footage from YouTube. Photographs of social networking sites over time will show how the sites have changed. Public interviews will explore how many people have social networking accounts. Statistics will provide factual information about social networking. Establishing shots will orient the audience by panning and tilting between the presenter and buildings discussed. Challenges include finding expert interviews.

Statistics Food Inc Use I will use statistics to give
factual and hard hitting
information to the audience,

Establishing
shots
The woman who woke up Chinese Develop I will use this as the
presenter is talking outside
of a building that I will then
film in – so it would pan as
the presenter is walking
then when she goes out of
the shot it would tilt to show
the building.
Establishing shots allow the
audience to see the setting so
that they are not disorientated
when the scene changes.
