I watched these 2 BBC documentaries as a way to extend my knowledge about the social media platforms. This is important for the project as we need to produce a video for Instagram or TikTok so this knowledge will help me make more informed decisions about my creative work. Below are my notes on the 2 documentaries:
The Instagram effect:



The TikTok effect:



I found the documentaries insightful and enjoyable to watch. I learnt a lot about 2 of the world’s leading social media platforms. I now have a better understanding of their history, purpose, algorithm, issues and lots of other interesting information. I’ll be using this research to aid my creative decision making for the social media video (sequential outcome).
