2. Interviewees
Local app company - (www.appitized.co.uk) For our main interview, we have got in touch with an app
company whom are located near our college, asking if we could take out five minutes of their time to discuss
with them about how they use the social networking world to your advantage.
Apple- we are planning on going into the apple store located in Liverpool to ask if we can have an interview
with one of their staff whilst in the store.
Vox pops - For other interviews we will do a selection of vox pops on the street asking them their opinions on
social networking and which ones they use the most, going off the questions we asked for our target
audience questionnaire.
Members of staff and students - We do not plan to interview many people from college however, some staff
and students will be vital for our argument such as IT staff and Library members whom we hope to ask
questions about why certain sites are banned in college. We also want to interview students we found through
our questionnaire who do not use social networking and plan to ask them why.
Mise-en-Scene
Interviews - Whilst interviewing the app company we plan to make sure the mise-en-scene fits our topic.
Whether it involve the logo or sign of the company in the background, or maybe an office or workspace
involving a computer positioned behind them, whilst sticking to the rule of thirds. If we are able to attain an
interview with Apple this will be located in one of their stores. As we know it'll be a little harder to plan ahead
of time, and we will have to deal with whatever we are given. Vox pops will take place on the street located
near an app or computer store if possible, with possibly a ‘Free WiFi' sign in the background. And when
interviewing people in college, we plan to use the green screen with screen recordings of Facebook pages,
tumblr dashboards and Twitter timelines in the background. Location for Filming
For transitions and cut away - shots we plan to use locations such as computer rooms, computer shops, free
WiFi locations, app stores, etc.
Props - We will use props such as green screens, laptops, computers to show people on social networking
sites, and phones to show apps in use.

5. We are looking at App Companies because we have found during
our research that apps are a large part of social networks with more
people everyday downloading and using the apps. We want to
give the audience the perspective of the people who make the
app they use on a daily basis.
As we are giving different views of social networking it is important
for us to include cyber bullying in to our documentary because of
how may people who are either being cyber bullied or close to
someone who is being cyber bullied. So our target audience can
realise how of a problem it is and how it thrives thought social
networking.
