4. Act 1: Autoethnography • Scene 2: Video of the computer screen and me navigating around my Facebook Page • I never really partied until Sophomore year of college when I stopped playing varsity softball (click on picture of me playing softball) and became single after a 3 year relationship (click on picture of me and my boyfriend). Originally, I just had Facebook to keep in touch with friends from home (click on picture of friends from home), but I soon was using it as a way to try to make my ex-boyfriend jealous (click on picture of me with other guys). My Facebook page changed dramatically from when I was in a relationship to when I was single. I even remember making my profile pictures to try and make him jealous, either with a bunch of other guys (show picture from fox day of me with 5 guys) or with guys he had met when visiting and not particularly liked (Show picture of me and Rob) or of me partying and having fun (Picture from white party). I eventually got over trying to make him jealous, but I continued to post picture of partying all through college (Show pictures of parties). I love posting funny pictures and seeing peoples response (Show Gasparilla photo with 30 likes and fox day photo with 27 likes) I have never really thought about future employers looking at my page because I made my page private when I first started using Facebook, but now I realize that may not be enough.

Act 4: Corporations use of Facebook • Scene 2: Corporations monitoring on Facebook • Interview with my Dad- “We would sometimes browse applicants Facebook pages if it was a close decision between two candidates. We would see how they portray themselves on their profile. Pictures of excessive partying are definitely a turnoff to corporations. But I honestly never really looked into Facebook too much until we had an incident at the office. One of our employees was reported making harassing statuses about another employee on his Facebook. We looked deeper into his page and found that he had also been posting negative statuses about our own company. Needless to say he was fired immediately. Now, we look more into applicants statuses.. Are they vulgar? Emotional? Rude? We do not want to have an incident like that again” • Interview with Gordon- “Yes, we do look at Facebook profiles when trying to decide on a candidate.

12. Act 5: Consequences of what happens when the public and private sphere’s collide • Scene 2: Applicant’s not getting hired • I am going to do some research and try to find some examples of job applicants not getting hired because of their Facebook profiles. I saw a show on TV once where they were analyzing people’s profiles and showing them why they would not be hired so I am going to try and find that. • I am also going to interview my dad and Gordon again and other corporations and ask why they have not hired applicants in the past due to their profiles. • 8:45-9:50

14. Ending sequence • Discuss how nothing on the Internet is private and how it is crucial to censor your Facebook page and always be up to date on the privacy settings

15. What I have planned • I am aware that this is not a final storyboard, but this is my first draft and I plan on having much more detail by next Friday when the final draft is due. I will have all my interviews done by next Friday so I can put more script into the screenplay and I will also be doing more research over the next two weeks on the privacy of Facebook and the collision of the private and public sphere’s. I am working really hard to get this Marriott woman to interview with me because I would really like an opinion from a large corporation. I am also looking into other large corporations in the area like Hilton, SeaWorld, and Darden. I am hoping to have an interview done before next Friday with one of them. I think the draft of this screenplay is great because it really pointed out the areas that I need to work on before the final draft is due.
