What our piece is:
◦ News Segment
◦ Social Networking Critique
◦ Questioning what is news?
◦ Societies' desensitisation to wars and violence
◦ Suggested Guidelines:
d) A video that creatively explores the possibility of portraiture or
self-portraiture.

Why and who our audience is:
◦ To question what people think of news?
Commenting on Facebook and the news
feed
◦ To also comment on the promotion of the self
through social networking.
◦ Our audience is everyone specifically users of
social networking.

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.

Our current progress
◦ We are going to use the newsroom and have already started recruiting
news casters
◦ We have started writing a script
◦ We have filmed test footage
◦ Our logo:

Fashion segment example

Instagram’s ‘#OOTD’

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.”
◦ Suzanne - “Emily does have great style. So, where are we starting?”
◦ Nyasha - “Today we have Charli modelling Emily's classic green coat. Now, this is a piece which everyone
should have in their wardrobe: It’s classic, elegant and goes with anything. This is available from Topshop for
only £60!”

Charlie Brooker’s How to Report The
News – News Wipe
