Starting Out

We have recently been assigned a project to do on a certain topic given to us. This project is a great way to really experience the production stages for media as we learned last week. 

The topic that was given to me and my group is ''Cancel Culture'' I've always seen videos on cancel culture and heard about it on so many different platforms across social media. I mean you see every day someone apart of cancel culture. Now a lot of people don't know what cancel culture is. Essentially cancel culture is like a modern form of ostracism online. I've always been interested in cancel culture from seeing so many videos on youtube about different people getting ''cancelled'' or just seeing it on comment sections of posts. It has become so modern now but so out of hand and unnecessary in certain cases. 

                                                         What is Cancel Culture IMG

I am specifically interested in the celebrity part of cancel culture and the most famous social media platform known for cancel culture....Twitter. There are so many different parts of cancel culture that we can speak about as its become so vast throughout social media and has become a daily thing. News articles have literally turned into the definition of cancel culture reporting on each time someone gets cancelled for something. 

As a group currently we are all gathering information on the different areas of cancel culture, the main topics there is in cancel culture, the social media apps used and The people who have been cancelled. Right as of this moment we haven't decided on any specific topic each person should research. We are planning on gathering any research we can find and breaking it down to the ones we want to speak about, to then be given a specific topic to research further about. We are organizing the different materials and what way we are going to record the project. 

The people in our group have all offered to do certain roles but they have not been officially given to one another as we want to have our research first. We are all watching videos on the production stages and how to make our films better through watching videos online. We are also thinking about all the resources we can use for our production. I feel this project is heading in the right direction right now and I am very excited to produce a video on a topic interested to me
