I. Introduction
The Information Age has significantly transformed the landscape of
communication and connectivity, giving rise to the widespread use of social
media platforms. Social media, a trademark of this era, has revolutionized
the way people interact, share information, and engage with the world.
However, the Information Age's influence on social media is not without
difficulties. Specifically cyberbullying refers to the use of digital
technologies, such as social media, to harass, threaten, or hurt other
people. In the era of social media, this phenomenon has become more
widespread and poses serious problems for people, particularly young
people, and for society. The impact of cyberbullying is profound, affecting
not only the mental and emotional well-being of victims but also their social
lives and overall security. In this digital age, understanding and addressing
the issues of cyberbullying in the context of social media is essential for
fostering a safer and responsible online environment for everyone.

Discord was cyberbullying. The said proposal only lasted a
total of 48 hours.

1.2 Gantt Chart

Creating and planning a clear vision for what days
everyone would be available; and allotting time to every said
activity is crucial. The whole group discussed the following
schedule to check everyone’s availability. The creation of the
chart only took a few days in total.

1.3 Story Board

One of the requirements for submission was the
storyboard. It is used to check what would be the idea and
what to expect from the said films. Alongside some scenes
that may still be subject to change. The illustrator, Quervie
 Manrique has prepared the following both the final and the

The script drafting is the initial version of a script for a
play or film. We will start the activity by jotting down the ideas,
characters, and scenarios. The duration of the script drafting
will take from Oct. 13 to 20 2023. The assigned members for
this activity are Daniel Ling, Kirk Endozo, and Aldrin Ligutan.
The members will make sure that all the dialogues for all the
scenes will be included in the script. For an organized
collaboration the members will create a one file that will be
accessible to all members for them to be able to edit and
revise the script.

1.6 Script Finalizing

Finalizing of script will be done from October 21 to 22. The
members assigned for finalizing the script are the writers Daniel, Kirk
and Aldrin. The writers would have to proofread the script for
grammatical errors, remove any unnecessary dialogue and would
not pass the maximum allotted time for the short film, which is 5
minutes. The script must be clear and checked if it follows a proper
structure (beginning, middle, end) of the story. They would also have
to make sure that the script properly follows.
 1.7 Finalizing of settings
There are two settings that will take place on the filming.
The school hallway and a home or house. We decided
that the school hallway would be in one of the hallways
in FEU Tech. The house that we decided to shoot in is
