towards production

 This week my group as sat down, and we have decided which sub-topic we will each be talking about when discussing online shaming and cancel culture. The sub-topic I have chosen to talk about is people who have been cancelled and was it justified, for this topic I will mainly be focusing on celebrities who have been cancelled online and how they dealt with it and how it affected their career. Other subtopics we have chosen to discuss were what social media platforms does online shaming take place on and the effect of online shaming and cancel culture on people’s mental health. We haven’t decided how the script will be laid out yet, so we decided to each do our own sub-topic done first and figure it out after because at least then we will have most of the script done.

 

I have also taken on the role of editor for this project as I have experience in graphic design and video editing and it something I enjoy doing, I will also be teaching some of my group the basics of editing as they have asked me too and since they are helping me with my script, I’m happy to help them learn to edit videos. My group has given me lots of great tips when writing my script, such as examples of people who have been cancelled and some great examples of how cancel culture can be used as a tool by influencers to grow their following online.

 

I chose this topic to talk about because it was the one I knew the most about which helped me in my research as I already had some ideas on where to begin, the first person I thought of to talk about was Dave Chappelle as he is currently being cancelled for his recent comedy special on Netflix where he offended members of the LGBT+ community, Chappelle has also been cancelled in the past for saying similar jokes which I think makes him a good example to talk about for our project. Another person I have chosen to talk about is Trisha Paytas, Tricia Paytas is a YouTuber/Influencer who has a very controversial past and who’s entire career revolves around drama, she has been cancelled multiple times, she has been responsible for the cancellation of other YouTubers and is someone who has used cancel culture to further her own career and for these reasons I think she will be a great person to talk about for our project.

I am looking forward to getting the script done, so we can start production as I think it will be the most fun part of the project as I enjoy working with my group, and I’m excited to create a video with them.
