  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.

Privacy – • Two-thirds of parents claim to set rules on their child’s use of social networking sites, although only 53% of children said that their parents set such rules. • While communication with known contacts was the most popular social networking activity, 17 % of adults used their profile to communicate with people they do not know. This increases among younger adults. • Sixty-nine per cent of adults who have a social networking page or profile used social networking sites to talk to friends or family who they saw regularly anyway, compared to 17% of adults who used sites to talk to those they didn’t already know. • Those who talked to people they didn’t know were significantly more likely to be aged 16-24 (22% of those with a social networking page or profile) than 25-34 (7% of those with a profile).

  We have decidedto talk about app companies in our documentary as we have found from our research that apps are a large part of social networks with more people downloading and using them everyday. We want to give the audience the perspective of the people and companies who make the applications that they use on a daily basis. As we will be discussing different views of social networking in our documentary, it is important for us to include the topic of cyberbullying because of the large amounts of people who have either experienced this first hand or have known someone who has gone through it. Doing this means our target audience can realise how much of a problem this issue is and how it thrives through social networking. APP COMPANIES AND CYBERBULLYING
