Social Networking and ‘The Self’◦ The university of Salford- on social

medias effects on self-esteem and anxiety and reported that 50% of their 298 participants said that their ‘use of social networks like Facebook and Twitter makes their lives worse.’

◦Elliot Panek ‘ the study shows that narcissistic college students and their adult counterparts use social media in different ways to boost their egos and control others perceptions of them. Its important to analyse how often social media users actually post updates on sites along with how much time they spend reading the posts and comments of others.

◦However the University of Georgia found that people on Facebook had scored higher on self esteem . Effects how you see yourself.

War and 1984◦Using found footage of wars – not

recognisable so our piece is timeless

◦ The war is not meant to be won, it is meant to be continuous. Hierarchical society is only possible on the basis of poverty and ignorance. This new version is the past and no different past can ever have existed. In principle the war effort is always planned to keep society on the brink of starvation. The war is waged by the ruling group against its own subjects and its object is not the victory over either Eurasia or East Asia, but to keep the very structure of society intact. George Orwell 1984.

◦ 1984 is a perfect example to use in our piece.

Script◦ Chuck – “Coming up next on the show , we have a very interesting segment . We are now joined by fashion

blogger Nyasha Rubwe, and she has an important news story regarding Emily Parsons.”

◦ Nyasha - “On July the 4th Emily Parsons Instagramed her first hashtag ‘#OOTD’.”

◦ Chuck- “Nyasha, what is an ‘OOTD’?”

◦ Nyasha - “Well Chuck, it stands for ‘outfit of the day’. This week Emily dazzled us all with her outfit of the day. I was truly inspired Chuck. So, we thought that we would show everyone how to re-create her look.”
