About the Film

Our film is about how social networking and/or technology affects teenage relationships.  Our film consists of a young couple being interviewed.  A young couple we are interviewing will be Giovanni and Lisselotte.  In the interview, they open up and give us their thesis on our topic.  Does social networking actually affect teenage relationships? We also have a plan to juxtapose this couple with persons of an older generation.  D'vante's parents Erick and Jenese Belisle, who are still together, still married, and has 3 kids, interviewing them to get the idea of how they dated without this much availability to technology and the internet.  Was it easier without all the need for this technology and internet?  Or was it harder to make contact just because they didn't have as much communication as we do now?

The emerging story is how upsetting it actually is to date, or even heavily rely on technology to communicate with your partner.  In our film, we would like to reveal the problem with using social networking so much, we want to expose the frequent problems that always seem to emerge or come out of using a social networking sites.  Heading into recording and producing this film, we want to show that it is bad to use social networking sites too often.  We also chose this topic because it seemed as though it is an issue that can be related with very easily.  A teen could easily give a story about how a social networking site caused them some harm in anyway.

The research I will need to do for this film is gathering statistics on how many teens use the internet and how many people have some kind of social networking account.  I will also make and print out surveys to give to random people to evaluate if the New Design population has had some trouble with dealing with relationships, or even friendships regarding a social network site/account.


In my media storm class run by Scott we are assigned to make a documentary or a film. The film that decided to make along with my group is the Difference In Communication. The film will be about how social media and technology affect today relationships. what me and my group is trying to prove is the social media is bad for relationships. What made me want to do a film on this subject was the fact that I'm a teen eighteen years old and i go on face book almost every day. There have been a lot of break ups taking place in people's relationships  because of face book or twitter and other social networks. I am going to explore this in the film by interviewing two couples one. one couple will be young in there teens and the other will be a couple is form the 90s around the time when technology was not as advance as it is today. After  the teen couple had been interviewed they would have to go a day or two with out the social media and text they we have to see how it felt being a couple in the 90s.

Lizzy and Giovanni are two student and fellow friends of mines in my class. They are in a relationship together they are the teen couple we are interviewing. Lizzy and Giovanni are on face book all the time so i thought they would be the perfect couple for the film. when we interview them they had describe there feeling about the social media and how it had interfered with there relationship. We haven't interviewed the old couple yet but we will son the couple will be D'vante parents 


My film is about how can social networking and chat lines affect relationships and how? It is also about how teens struggled to keep a stable relationships and due to social networking and chat lines like facebook. The film is also about how can social networking be negative or positive. The film has the difference between  relationships back in the day to now how was it different? Was it harder to comunicate easy. The film is also about young teens expressing how they feel about past relationships and what they learned dating that person.

The films emerging is a interview on a teen couple answering questions about their relationship. The film will show an older couple explaining the differences between their time to now. What did they have better that we dont have now and what do we have better now that people didn't have back then. The film will also show a B roll shot of couples in their ups and downs. The film will contains some girls talking to her friends, asking for advice in her relationship.

In quarter three the film needs to have more footage about relation ships. The film also needs to have B roll shot that are great shots that define love. The film also needs some solo interview about teens expressing there feeling about their experiences. I also think the film can use some back round sound affects that define the mood at the moment. The film also needs to have the good interview that are not basic. In quater three the film will need a closer to the film.
