Proposal


So for my documentary I want to look at what decisions go into a person
deciding whether or not to add a person on Facebook. I want to do this
because some people just add people that they know on Facebook, and
others add friends of friends or even people that they don't even know.
I want to understand people's motivation in adding people they don't
know, and how someone determines if they want random people on their
friends list. I also want to look at if adults add friends a little
more safely compared to college students I am going to shoot some of the documentary at my aunts house because
everyone there has a Facebook and see if they add people for different
reasons. I will also shoot at my house since I know my sister just adds
people she doesn't even know. I will also shoot at dorm rooms in campus
and possibly the library or other areas across campus. I will interview people from UK at different grade levels as well as
people in my family that have older to determine if they add people for
different reasons than college students. I will also interview some
high school students to see if they are even more likely to add people
they don't know compared to adults and college students. I will also
look at the thought process that each age group goes through when
deciding if they really want to add a person and how they differ form
the other age groups. I think that as the generations get younger, there will be more people
that are added as friends that the person does not know. The younger
the person is the less they are worried about their own privacy. If
this is the case I would hypothesis that the reason would be is they do
not even know how dangerous it can be for them to just randomly add
people that they do not even know.
