Production # 3
The third and final production for me to produce is The Bystander Effect. For this experiment I plan to film a friend pretending to be unconcious. He will be positioned in the center of my high school campus while the bells rings for the students to walk to their next class. I believe that this might be the best experiment because this truly tests The Bystander effect in a newer generation. We will see if the young minds of America are willing to help a person in need. There is a big probability that the results attained from this experiment will differ from results attained from a location full of adults.
Production # 2
The second experiment I will be recreating is Stanley Milgrams Obediance to Authority. In the origional experiment Milgram organized the electric machine with the increasing voltage increments. If I were to recreate that same experiment I would probably be arrested. For this experiment I need to come up with a completely new idea. My plan for this experiment is to ask a regular person to do something they wouldn't do and then ask a police officer to ask a regular person the same thing to see if they obide by the cops rules. Perhaps I might not be able to get a police officer to work with me on the experiment, but If not I will come up with something else. As production # 1, the camera will be hidden inside of an object such as a box or perhaps a bush.
