The finish product of my Documentary!
My experience with this documentary was really enjoyable it was a interesting experience and it was a challenging obstacle but it has helped me be more motivated and has gave me the determination to get things done quickly.
Script
Now in 2015 dating apps have been seen as a new trend to find love, with apps like tinder, uniform dating, and match.com they advertise claiming that if you use their website, you will find your perfect match. But this isn’t always the case I’m Preaya Dayeck and this is my documentary about the dark side of dating.
I have heard quite a lot of stuff about a group called bye Felipe, which is run by a woman called Alexandra Tweten they have accounts on Facebook and Instagram, where they post pictures of men threatening women due to the fact that they got rejected on an online dating app. Not only does bye Felipe have its own social platform, it also has its own merchandise where people can buy hashtag bye Felipe sweatshirts + tops, I believe that it's good that something like bye Felipe exists as it is made to make females/males not be alone in this intimidating situation.
Overall it’s a good thing that this awareness is made to help others, however, this doesn’t stop millions people out there who are getting exploited, manipulated and scammed.
We all know in the online dating world there are numerous scams being taken place right now, and even when you browse some profiles some women/men tend to be more manipulative, and may even tell a white lie about their appearance or what they do as their career. But when in foreign countries such as China, online dating is seen as quite the intense the University college London did a study where they found out that dating websites in china, are mostly used by people who are doing huge scams to either make a huge sum of money or even to improve their profession. For example there has been many reports where beautiful women in china, create online dating accounts to scam a bachelor whilst on a date, once they get a date they eventually take the guy out to an expensive restaurant and the lady then orders a lot of expensive food, in hopes for the man to pick up the bill the bill can range from $100- $2000 and in most cases the man does pay for the bill, and after the date the lady does not contact him again. The lady then leaves with the ultimate jackpot which she has to split with the manager.
It just comes to show online dating isn’t always pitch perfect, and doesn’t always promise a happy ending full of love and companionship when articles like theses say otherwise.
Hey, guys it 10:20 and today I have decided that I'm going to be interviewing people, just to see what they think of online dating and their viewpoint. so you guys are going to follow me so come on let's go.
Questions I am going to ask people.
What do you think about online dating?
Can you name some popular online dating apps/websites?
Do you think online dating is still used to find your perfect match anymore?
Questions to ask my expert (Nikki) - That I did not get to post the footage because the quality was bad.
Do you believe online dating is great for finding your perfect match?
Do you think online dating can cause mental and health issues for some people
The next topic –
After getting an expert's opinion.
Overall the interviews went really well and I managed to get really useful information, and mixed opinions of what the public thought about online dating. As you can see from the interviews there was one girl who thought online dating was disgraceful and one girl who thought it was perfect for finding your match!
The same person who stated online dating was disgraceful, was the only person who had a negative opinion and seemed to state more dangerous factors of online dating, whereas everyone else was saying positive naive things how it is perfect for finding your perfect match.
It just comes to show maybe not everyone is aware of the dark side of online dating, and how many thousands of articles are lurking around of horrible scenarios people have experienced whilst dating online. Will the dark side of online dating ever be defeated? and will the whole world be knowledgeable of it. Im Preaya Skerritt and I say One step at a time and maybe the dark side could be defeated.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
One fault with my work, is that i forgot to add the clip where one of the people I was interviewing said that online dating was disgraceful. Another fault with my documentary was that at the start of my clip I stated that my name was Preaya Dayeck, and at the end of the documentary I stated that my name was Preaya Skerritt saying another surname that I obtain. However, this is just a simple mistake that I can learn from and be cautious of next time when doing a project.
