Culture in the digital age

Culture in the digital age: Informing and developing ideas 

For this project I am required to make a short documentary for young people.The target audience of my documentary is young people between the ages of 13 and 19, the aim of the documentary is to show young people the how the digital age has changed our society and to think further on the impact of how it has changed the modern age. 

I decided to make my documentary involved with fashion and how trends in fashion often make comebacks through social media. I think this would be a good example because it shows how our society is influenced by the digital age and the trends that follow with it. Fashion is an example of trends that have been influenced by society and social media, I feel that this shows the influence of social media on our society worldwide by focusing on old and new trends that re-populate through the internet and social media. 

The documentary is meant to last between 5 and 15 minutes, I will further have to make a plan of how my documentary will be done, this includes making a plan of research time, script writing, taking a shooting footage and the final edit. The deadline of my documentary is the 22nd of January which gives me enough time to complete my documentary. The documentary will be published on social media platforms, mainly Youtube

Script

 Culture in the digital age documentary Fashion  Narrator (me) : clothes and fashion are forever changing as time goes on new clothes need to be made to meet demand   whether it’s used to express yourself or just for show people everywhere like to dress the way they want to, however keeping up with fashion in the digital age can be tough and out a strain on the environment and people surrounding the industry. Problem 1: chemicals that are used to clean and dye clothes pollute water - The fashion industry produces 10% of the worlds carbon emissions and is the second largest consumer of the worlds water supply Problem 2: machines used in factories put some people out of jobs - jobs that are now needed in factories such as those making clothes and textiles now require more or higher qualifications making it harder for some to get or keep jobs surrounding the industry.   Problem 3: fast fashion
