Why we did it?We decided to do research analysis on our chosen topic to get a better understanding of the topic and to see existing peoples views and so that we can have more knowledge on the subject to help us produce it. What did we gain? We gained enough research to understand our chosen channel and the type of documentaries they are already producing and we gained newspaper articles and the medias' view on social networking.

We found this picture on google images and it shows us that the most social networking usage tends to be in MEDC'S (more economically developed countries) and the least in LEDC's (Less economoically developed countries) such as Kenya within the African Continent. This helps us with our research because we can decide on who our target audience will be which will be the countries with the most social networking usage such as the UK and USA.

This newspaper article highlights the bad effects of social networks such as facebook,twitter etc. The author highlights the fact that social networks lead to ''low mood' 'jealousy' and 'poor self esteem'. This will be useful for our documentary research as we can point out within our documentary about the issues with social media and use this image as archival footage. This newspaper article highlights the positives of social media. It is suggesting that 'Twitter' could save peoples lives by using it to contact the fire brigade.This would be useful for our documentary as we can use this archival footage to suggest that actually, social media has its advantagess so that we are not biased on to the subject.
