As my moving image project is looking at the issues of 'social Isolation', I set a small project for my friends. I wanted to find out about what they do online and how they portray themselves. Here is the brief I set them via Facebook:
I hope your all well and enjoyed the Christmas break! I am working on my Final project for my Moving Image part of my degree course and I was wondering if I could ask you guys for some help?
My final projects looks at issues of social isolation and how people now more commonly communicate through social networking rather than face to face or over the phone. What I would like you guys to do is film yourself for 30 seconds to a minute through your web cams, whilst you are on your computer. You can do this in many ways, but I want you guys to show me 'how you want to be portrayed online'. Whether this be; sat doing some work, dressed up doing some online dating, chatting to your friends abroad. It is completely up to you! I want you to try and show me a side of your personality if you can. Or if you dare, a side of you that I have never seen before! Try and keep it as clean as you can, as it will be used and viewed by people at my university.
If you are happy to take part, please can you send me your email address so I can email you a link to my dropbox where you can upload your movies. You can film yourself as many times as you like!
It won't take up much of your time, and I would really appreciate your help! Thanks in advance. Also, if you know anyone else that would be able to help, then please let me know.
Take care,
Lauren xxxx
So far I have had a couple of friends that have responded and sent me their videos. I will upload these onto my 'You Tube' account as I go along.
These videos will not really help me answer the question, but they will help me get a better understanding of what people like to do online.
Here's one of the videos I have received so far:
