To investigate the impact social media has had on human interaction

Made Star Wars Uncut- An example of a fan film.
This is a film created by fans of a particular film, who are not officially commissioned to do so.
This is an example of how online technologies have enabled a 'participatory culture' (Henry Jenkins, 2006), in which audiences can now participate (prosume) in the production and meaning of cultural products.
Used Vimeo as a social media channel in order to reach fans: encourages fans to contribute to his film project.
Creates his own website for Star Wars Uncut, in which fans can select the 15 second section of the original film they wished to create.
This is an example of crowd sourcing, when media producers use online technologies to ask for staff or volunteers with specific skillsets to work on a project.
The movie links to Anderson's Long Tail theory because despite the material being based on a film that came out 30 years prior, due to the large target audience of the film, fans were able to recreate the product using the internet.
Because of the many new different styles of media on the internet that people are exposed to, Star Wars Uncut was able to have a new take on the beloved film every 15 seconds overall making a truly original movie.

    Notes are a little thin on detail - fine for Casey Hugh, above, but you also need notes on Flickr, Tumblr and Vine, as well as on music, radio and games (the presentations we did in class).

Negative Impacts

Trolling Cyber-bullying When an individual/company is persistently targeted in a negative way online, usually through social media channels. The number of social media platforms available has led to a proliferation in this, as has the fact that users enjoy a degree of anonymity when posting via social media sites. Case Study: Ariane Grande After she split with Mac Miller and he died from a drug overdose, Grande was trolled online. As a result, she was trolled online. Privacy Productivity Connection Filters and Photoshop- Demi Lovato got fat shamed on Instagram Face Tune easily allows users to easily edit their bodies and faces giving people unrealistic expectations of how they should look. Negative Body Image- Obsessing over the Instagram posts of others can lead to feelings of negative self-worth- both from the lives influencers proport to lead (they only show the good stuff) and from the images themselves, many of which have had filters added, or have been extensively phot...

Section B: Planning and Managing a Social Media Campaign

Section B is worth 30 marks out of 60. 45 minutes should be spent on section B In Section B, I should write what online social media channels I'd use and why, ideas for creative content and how I'd be gaining feedback and evaluating responses from my audience and justify why I'd be making all these decisions. Multiple social medias should be used in the campaign, all of which link with the information. Try to relate to the target audience and try to know what they could think about the campaign. Use social media aggregation tools and explain WHY. When writing about legal and ethical guidelines, refer to the IPSO guidelines and the Data Protection Act.
