Analyzing the Competition
In this blog post I will be finding three shows which are currently on television and that can be compared with my documentary which I will be creating soon.
How hackers changed the world was a documentary which was aired on BBC, it was a 58.21 minute long documentary and was based on hackers using computers to develop many different ways of hacking into many systems and programmes.
The documentary wasn't really similar to my idea for my documentary as i wont be basing mine on hackers infact I will be basing mine on the effects which social media has on teenagers lives.
Catfish TV Show
Catfish is a tv show which is based on people who make fake profiles on online social media and meet people with a fake identity, the reasons are normally revealed in the show, sometimes the reasons vary between emotional problems as the person behind the fake profiles just want to make a fake profile to simply feel better about themselves. other reasons sometimes also vary between money issues as they force money out of the victims
This show is similar to mine as it is based around social media. At 2:32 we see where the social media aspects come from as the presenter in the voiceover says 'until I met felicia on a dating website'. Dating websites are used as social media as many people can interact with each other and provide their own details for other people to see. The show airs on tuesdays and saturdays on the channel MTV. The viewing figures are between 55 000 and 54 000. Those are pretty big figures for a show which is based on social media. The show doesn't always just show online dating sites, you would also find that sites like twitter and facebook are also used for catfishing and my documentary is going to include a lot of information about twitter and facebook.
The social network
The social network is actually a film by Sony Pictures Entertainment. The movie is based on Mark Zuckerberg who is the creator of Facebook. The movie is a reconstruction of the story behind Mark making facebook as he got sued by two brother who claimed that Mark stole their idea for making the social media website.
The film is similar to my idea for my documentary as it is also based around social media. In the trailer from 0:00 to the 0:50 mark we see a lot of use of social media as throughout that whole time lapse as we see facebook being used in many different ways as we see people changing their statuses, images and relationship statuses. At 1:10 mark says 'talking about taking the entire experience of college and putting it online' so this was the basic idea behind making Facebook. It is also similar to my documentary as I will be basing many aspects on facebook and showing how it has developed over the years and how it is effecting teenagers.
The gadget show
The gadget show is a show which reviews gadgets regularly.
The show isn't really similar to my idea for my documentary however we could still say that it is similar in a way as it normally reviews technology and social media is used on technology.
