This document contains a script for a social psychology video project created by 5 students. The script is divided into 4 scenes. It tells the story of a student named Fernando in his first year of university. In the first scenes, Fernando tries to make a good first impression by being friendly and buying treats. Later, Fernando gets a good grade despite having not done any work, leading his classmates to suspect he buttered up the lecturer. The video incorporates concepts from social psychology like stereotyping, first impressions, social learning, ingratiation, and confirmation bias.

1. Confirming the concept
A meeting was conducted to discuss about the storyline and concepts of the video. We started
brainstorming and came up with a lot of different stories. Finally, we decided to choose the idea
proposed by Ly Vier. The story is about how Fernando goes through his first year degree life.
The concepts found in this story are stereotype, first impression, social learning, ingratiation and
confirmation bias.
2. Planning the video
After we confirmed the storyline and the concepts, we started to plan our video. Firstly, we
prepared a script for the video. Secondly, we distributed the roles among the members. Thirdly,
we chose the place to film our video and also the date and time for video shooting. Last but not
least, we discussed about the things needed to be in the film. After going through all the
preparations, we started to shoot our video.
