Interview Questions

In our doco film, we interviewed our FTV teacher, Mr Andrews, and we also interviewed some random girls at school. Here are the questions that we asked them.

MR ANDREWS QUESTIONS

• What are the issues that students come to you about that are related to social media?/Are there many students that come to you with issues that are dealing with social media?
• Do you see a lot of students using social media while you are trying to teach? Does this affect their learning?
• Should all social media sites be blocked completely at school?
• Are you guilty of using too much social media?
• Do you think there is any solution to this growing issue of addiction to social media?
• Explain your experiment with your year 12 class and having them place there phone at the from of the class at the beginning of class. Do you think this experiment has increased their attention in class and productivity with their work?
• Is it the social media’s fault or is it the youth fault for getting themselves so addicted?
• Do you think sites such as Facebook, Instagram, etc. are aware that people are becoming obsessed? Do you think they are trying to change this?
• If social media sites value the protection of their consumers, for e.g. privacy, should their mental health come under that protection?

SCHOOL STUDENTS QUESTIONS

• How many hours a day do you think you spend looking at a device screen? 
• How many hours a day would you say you spend on social media?
• What social media app is your favourite and you think you spend most of your time on? Why do you like it so much?
• Have you ever stayed up late watching Netflix, YouTube or going on social media?
• How many hours of sleep would you say you get on average each night?

We had also planned to interview a psychologist at Griffith University, unfortunately they didn't get back to us. So this interview didn't go through. However, instead, Libby found a Television show interview where a man gave answers to most of the questions we were going to ask the psychologist. Which were:

PSYCHOLOGIST QUESTIONS

• Social media is a major part of the lives of our youth today. How can social media have a negative effect on people’s mental health?
• Do you think social media has a role to play in sleep deprivation?
• How can social media be linked to depression and anxiety within youth today? Do you think there is any relation between depression and anxiety and the constant use of social media and the need teenagers have to constantly keep up to date with what is going on online
• What are the effects of using too much social media? 
• Do you think teens and youth today will be better off without social media at all?
• Do you think the use and the addiction to social media will get worse through the younger generations? 
• Do you think the increased rate of mental health was due to the increased use of social media?

Visuals in our documentary film

In my opinion, our documentary film is very visual and has many clever techniques to make it interesting and quick for the viewers eyes. Many of these techniques were inspired by many films and videos that I have seen on the internet and television. More specifically; American Horror Story (TV Show) and Connor Franta (Youtuber). If you have watched these peoples work, you would definitely be able to pick it out in our documentary film. In our planning, before we started filming, we created a dot point list of some visually interesting ideas that we thought we could incorporate into our film. We didn't end up using all of them, but we did consider using them.

RANDOM VISUAL IDEAS TO POSSIBLY INCORPORATE

• Animations - electronic drawings of statistics (VideoScribe)
• Time lapse - girl standing in the middle of a busy hallway/public area, on her phone, with people rushing past
• Connor Franta inspired filming style - turning to different angles and sharp camera changes
• Narrator sitting down at a desk with various forms of technology, all open to different social media sites. The room is slightly dark and the screens of the technology are bright.
• “Draw My Life” style whiteboard drawings
• American Horror Story - rapid images, shots being showed at 0.1s, then cut to black

Finalised Planning Notes

MAIN POINTS

1. Introduction - Social Media and Technology in general
2. Effects on mental health - Anxiety, Depression

She says: “Teens in particular are becoming increasingly obsessed with technology and social media; constantly being so invested in keeping updated with peoples’ statuses, that they get distracted during important situations- *laughs* Sorry, that tweet was really funny I had to retweet it *awkward laugh*-” Narrator turns to the right and camera cuts to next shot. 
• Narrator faces the left of the screen and turns to their right to face the camera “This obsession is extremely harmful as it’s slowly but surely negatively affecting mental health in youth today; with increasing rates of ADHD, depression and anxiety. But the question we must ask is:” Narrator tilts their head upwards
• Birdseye shot of the narrator as they tilt their head up to face the camera “How much social media is too much social media?”
• Tilt head back down “Should the organisations such as Facebook, Instagram and Twitter, take responsibility for the impact that they have on the lives of those logged into these sites?”

And out of the 7.4 billion people in the world, over 3 billion - will use the Internet worldwide” (10:08am on 28th 3rd 2016)“It is shocking to discover that One in 16 young Australians are currently experiencing depression” “ as well as one in six young Australians, currently experiencing an anxiety condition”

• Psychologist Interview 
• Narrator introduces ethics topic  “Youth today were born ‘technological natives’, and with technology playing a predominant part in teenagers lives, there is no way that it doesn’t have an large impact on their psychological health.” Camera angle change “Is it right that Facebook, Instagram and other social media sites are not taking responsibility for the images and information that are shaping the minds of impressionistic teenagers today?” Camera angle change “Are social media sites aware of this impact that they have? If they value the protection of their consumers, should their health come under that protection?”

Nadia Editing

• Mr Andrews Interview - answering below questions about social media, phone experiment and touching on the topic of ethics 
• 5 shots in rapid succession in the space of 1 second, then darkness for 4 seconds

• Interview School Girls QU: “How many hours a day would you say you spend on social media?” as well as “Have you ever stayed up late watching Netflix, YouTube or going on social media?”
• Narrator talks to conclude “So, it’s clear that social media has an alarming impact on our mental health, especially on youth today. With technology becoming more and more popular, it is difficult to find solutions to keep teens from being exposed to too much social media and the dangers that it could have on their wellbeing. So, is it the parents, the children, Mark Zuckerberg, the invention of the internet in the first place… who is really the one to take responsibility for this sort of damage? There is no real action we can take upon this rising issue, other than making people aware of something that we never would have thought could be a risk to our mental health.
• Time lapse will be showed during this conclusion of a girl standing on her phone with people rushing around her
• 5 shots in rapid succession in the space of 1 second, then darkness for 4 seconds
• Ending credits, music credits

Progress - 20th March

At this point of time, my group and I are 100% sure we have finished filming and gathering the footage that we need for our documentary film. This weekend we ave been working individually on our third of the film (I am editing the first third, Libby editing the second third, and Nadia editing the last third). Although we have assigned different people to edit different sections, we are going to cross check each other's editing so we make sure that the film flows and it continues on nicely and also doesn't look like it is three different films put together. Tomorrow we are going to come together and do this so as we can hand in the final film into Mr Andrews by 3:30.

Production Schedule

Nadia had put together a production schedule that includes everything that we had filmed and what date we had filmed them.

Date	Time	Where it was filmed	What was filmed	What equipment was needed
Wednesday-2/3/16	4:30-5:30pm	At school in the JR building, and outside near the lockers.	Shot of 2 people standing at the lockers on their phones. Shot of sitting outside on the table near the lockers on technology. Shot of in a dark room taking shots of social media. Shot of interviewing 2 people.	Camera  Try pod  Egg Light  FTD1 28mm lens FT light 1
Thursday-3/3/16	3:30-4:30pm	At school in the JR Building.	Voice overs of statistics.	Professional microphone  Computer/Garage band
Monday-7/3/16	3:30-5:00pm	At the JR building, and recording room. Nadia’s House.	Close ups of people on technology; snapchat, getting some footage of people talking and laughing to each other. Voice over was recorded.  Making a times lap in a room with a teenager moving around the room on technology.	Professional microphone Computer/grage band  Camera  Tripod 18-55 lens

Draft Feedback 10th March

Today in class, Mr Andrews took a lookout out draft and gave us some verbal feedback. Listed below are some dot points stating the feedback that he gave us.

• At 3 seconds of the film,  the black screen transition can be a little shorter
• As well as the second black transition - too long
• First transition is okay, second might be too long
• Sound effect of the rapid shots at the start of the documentary can be changed from a negative buzz to a Instagram shutter sound - we can use effects from garageband or iMovie or Final Cut Pro. If not, we can use Instagram and record the sound it makes when we take a photo
• At 18 seconds, instead of using a straight cut, try fading the shot out to black - the transition will look smoother
• During time lapse it might be a good idea to add in some medium close up shots of her on social media - You see her looking over at her phone rather than the phone being the focus of the shot
• Once the mood has changed to negative, the buzz/crackle sound effects with he rapid shots work well and suit the tone
• With the statistics in the animation, rather than saying the entire number of the statistic, have the narrator say something like "over 2.3 billion people" "in excess of 30 billion" "more than 9 thousand" it will be more effective; however, keep the whole number on the screen - just change what the narrator is saying
• Trim the interview - also pop the title of the television show at the beginning of it

Progress - 4th March

Task.
I believe that my group and I have begun our documentary filming task on the right foot. We have our basic idea and know what things we would like to incorporate and include in our 6-9 minute film. I have made a linear dot pointed list of the things that will occur in our documentary. The purpose of this is so that Nadia, Libby and I all have the same picture in our head and aren't thinking of totally different documentaries while trying to film it. This dot point list was posted earlier today, along with the finalised questions that we are planning to ask the people we are interviewing who are: St. Hilda's Students, Mr Andrews (teacher at St. Hilda's School), and a psychologist.

Arising Issues with the Psychologist interview.
I like to believe it is problems with communication that had disabled us to secure an interview with a psychologist or student studying psychology at Griffith University. They had emailed us back saying they do not know of anyone that specialised in mental health and social media. We contacted them saying that we are willing to interview anyone who could answer the questions and wouldn't mind being interviewed. To this day we have not received a response. To solve our problem, we have decided to search on the internet for interviews that have already been taken that have relevance to our documentary, so as we can put them in in replacement of the psychologist interview.

Filming Progress.
On Wednesday 2nd March, Nadia, Libby and I got together for the afternoon to film lots of random shots of technology and social media. These shots will specifically be used for the places where there will be shots in rapid succession. Yesterday, Thursday 3rd March, Nadia was unable to film with us. So, Libby and I decided we would focus on the voice-overs for the animation part of the documentary. This was where I was saying this: "Researches say that approximately 90 percent of teens worldwide that have access to the internet use social media. Whilst this is shocking over 93,296,618,834 emails will be sent today alone, 2,295,827 cellular phones will be sold today,  and out of the 7.4 billion people in the world, 3,316,470,888 - use the Internet worldwide. It is shocking to discover that One in 16 young Australians are currently experiencing depression, as well as one in six young Australians, currently experiencing an anxiety condition."


Libby has been working on putting together an animation to go together with our statistics. A problem that she came across while doing this was matching the dialogue with the actual animation but we got there in the end. Shoutout to VideoScribe for helping her do this.


Here are screenshots of some of the shots that we took today

TITLE: 

Social media 

Mental Media

TOPIC INTRODUCTION:

The following production design is for a short documentary film , aiming to educate the audience by exploring the negative effects that social media has on the behavioural and psychological health of youth in Australian today. The film will entail a director who exposes the hard facts in the world of social media. There will be an interview with a psychologist from Griffith University who is highly educated in this area. The documentary includes features of expository, observational and participatory styles.

SYNOPSIS:

Blackness. 5 shots of social media are rapidly shown in the space of 1 second; phones and laptops, close ups of people’s eyes glued to the screen, as a buzzing/crackling noise is heard in the background. Cut to black and silence. Another 5 shots. Cut to black. Then again. A medium close-up of the directors face at the beach, as she says “Social Media.” These words overlay the shot. Cut to black. “An online platform that has been increasingly taking storm over the past decade.” Then, various shots of people on Facebook, Instagram, etc. in public, during social gatherings and in school, as a voice of authority speaks (See A1). As the words “HUMAN BEHAVIOURAL & PSYCHOLOGICAL HEALTH”  are spoken, they appear white and bold on the screen. A long shot fades in of narrator walking along the beach towards the camera, sharing relevant negative statistics (See A2). Mid shot of a Griffith Uni psychologist fades in talking about how social media has negative effects on behaviour and the habits of the brain.  They sit on the right side of the screen looking out to the left of the camera. Dim lighting. (Questions asked can be seen in A3). Psychologist discusses how social media can be linked to depression and anxiety within youth today. During this, shots appear of teens being excluded on social media; group photo’s, events. Fade to black. Narrator sits at a desk in a dimmed room. Various forms of technology sit on the table, open to different social media sites, screens are shining bright. Narrator speaks (Dialogue shown in A4). Narrator talks about teens and youth constantly seeking for other people’s attention and approval which is shown by getting a certain number of likes on social media. Narrator begins to stand up, increasingly becoming out of shot. Immediately cuts to a higher angle, and the narrator is seen standing up into eye-level of the camera. Narrator then speaks about young people constantly becoming addicted to their technology devices and this is one of the reasons why ADHD, depression and anxiety statistics are on the rise. As she speaks, various statistic graphs and charts will appear to assist the dialogue (See A5). Narrator then begins to turn their body to the right. Shot immediately cuts to the right side of the narrator as they turn to face the camera. Narrator then concludes. “And so we have it. Social media is one of the many causes of mental illnesses in today’s youth. Think twice before you let yourself become attached to your devices.” Narrator walks off to the right. Fade to black. Credits appear, closing the  film.

JUSTIFICATION:

I am producing a film highlighting the negative effects of social media on youth today in regards to mental health. Showing an interview with a psychologist can make my message more powerful and more believable having consult a professional on the topic matter. By constantly showing numerous amounts of videos of youth intently being on social media will back up my point of social media being addictive and a bad influence on this generation. Statistics constantly being shown makes the information seem more reliable and more real to the audience.

APPENDIX:

A1:

“Predominantly used for connecting people around the globe, allowing various forms of interaction between people, and creating, sharing and exchanging information. But while Social Media can be really convenient and helpful to our modern lives, there are many aspects which can be extremely harmful to… HUMAN BEHAVIOURAL & PSYCHOLOGICAL HEALTH.”
