 My Documentary is finally finished and I am very happy with the final outcome and it matches the initial idea that was in my head. The product:  The documentary is meant to show show the good and bad side of social media so people can see how to manage their time properly and to be more socially active. I chose to make the video about this as it will be shown on BBC Three. BBC Three has a young demographical target audience and they use social media a lot.

The pink files are the credits. They play shortly and then fade to black.
