Our documentary will examine the effects of social networking on students through a balanced, expository lens. We will interview students, teachers, and conduct a questionnaire to understand social media's impact from different perspectives. The documentary will have a formal voiceover and include stock footage of students using social media online and on their phones. We will conduct primary research through surveys and a focus group, and secondary research using recent statistics about social networking habits.
