‘Social Media’

–Fighting

back

- The different types of social Media platforms. Facebook, Twitter and Instagram are communication and sharing platforms.

- The way that they use algorithms to cater to the individual varies. Facebook ensures that your newsfeed is catered to your taste and what you want to see is there and easily accessible. Google search results are also catered to what they believe you are interested in. They know your interests from your previous Google search.

- How society is fighting against a hegemonic media platform. Through blogs and Youtubechannels created by ordinary people posting their own views to a large audience.

- This part will be about how the audience are fighting back with the ability to generate their own information, doing this we will show montage footage of people editing Wikipedia's, scrolling though and posting on their blog and posting social news stories

- We will outline the statistics of the amount of people on blogs, and the many different types of blogs – highlighting the minority groups within society being able to express themselves repeated with social news – showing footage of people ‘dig’ and ‘bury’ of Digg

- We will go into detail, showing how blogs are not consorted, showing the extent of what you can post, and why that should be able to happen though public interview, and blog users interviews and expert interviews as to why nothing is censored

- To argue the first 15 minutes and explore how we think we are being given various choices, however these choices are provided by higher powers who determine your search results.

- E.g. ‘Online Dating’ : Your match is determined for you.

- So we will show someone filling in online dating application form, using a public interview, empathising with how they feel about this opportunity

- However, then we will have an expert explaining what they do with their online form and how they chose their ideal partner, who they are blocking out and why

- We will have statistics on the success rates of those they choose – and those who find love with people different to themselves

- Following this will explore the use of technological convergences, how it promotes and allows the constant landscape of media to develop – the ways we are very vocal and influential by ourselves in technology, but presenting a conclusion to weather social media is hegemonic or democratic

- Do this by showing how the use of iPads have developed – e.g the apps and how ‘genius’ on the iPad suggest and imply what we should download

- Though ending with a conclusion that we are always revolutionising and are becoming more democratic

‘Film & Television’

- How and if we are influenced by the things we watch through films and TV (Listing some examples, Star Wars Trilogy, The Batman Trilogy)

- How ideologies have been integrated into our daily watching's (News, soaps, Dramas)

- Films : Used to install certain ideologies within society or promote these ideologies through examples of our culture in relation to others and what they see

- Examples of specific films that have influence the world the most alongside with statistics. (Clockwork Orange, Triumph Of The Will, War Of The Worlds)

- How stereotypes have become hegemonic through someone's dictation of script.

- This is liked to the propaganda used in WW1 and WW2 to promote the Nazi Regime.

- The news and how people have no control over what is shown. It is seen as a reliable source of information especially in government and terrorism case studies as they have no other sources to gain information from.

- What is shown on the news is specifically chosen for a certain representation. Particularly in The London Riots when the news mainly showed footage of youths rioting when statistics show that the majority of looters were adults. Youths have a stereotypically negative image now
