Social Media has become part of our culture. Today their are not many businesses out their that haven't got access to some sort of social networking website such as Facebook, Twitter, Linked in. Social media is portrayed in a bad way in some ways because its something that our generation have grew up with and in some ways have become to dependent on it. Their are many pro's and cons of social media, the pros being it is very easy to connect with someone wherever they are around the world. Its quick, simple and in a lot of cases, people check their Facebook a lot more than checking their emails. Its just a great way to meet and chat to people you wouldn't be able to go face to face with very easy and have a conversation with them. Something as simple as a comment on one of your favourite film makers videos can lead to a conversation about your own work and its even a chance to get some critical feedback which could be very beneficial coming from someone of their status. A few weeks back, I posted a comment on one of my favourite film makers video that he shares on Facebook. A conversation arose and it lead to a professional Flatland BMX riders Keelan Phillips contacting me about including him in one of my next music videos. I haven't got round to fitting him in one of my videos but he handed over his number to me and told him to contact him if he was needed. Opportunities like this, in particular, wouldn't arise if it wasn't for the social media and its networking.
