Evaluation Activity 5 Notes

How did you attract/address your audience?



   

The way we decided to attract our audience for our opening sequence was by uploading our video on YouTube.  YouTube is the dominant provider of online video and its easy to get your video's on there as all you have to do is make an YouTube account (which is free) and then you can upload videos and decide how you want people to find them.

We named our video AS LEVEL MEDIA- opening sequence as the name is simple and easy to find so our video will get more views attracting a larger range of audience from all around the world because YouTube is a world wide website where all videos uploaded can be viewed from anywhere around the world.

YouTube also has a section on which you can comment on videos and like videos. The. More likes you get on a video the better as it basically shows people like your video making it look good, this also gives your video a good reputation.
People can comment on the videos you upload, there are no restrictions when commenting so you can write anything, the only thing you cant do in the comment section is posting pictures. People will comment saying all sorts of things, they will tell you where you've gone wrong, how you need to improve or you could just get good comments praising your work, don't forget the bad comments though, people can comment what ever they like so you need to be aware of that. You can also post your videos link on other peoples videos using the comment section.

You can make your videos private on YouTube which means the public wont be able to see the videos you post, the only way people would be able to see your videos is by subscribing to you or by getting the link to the video. We obviously didn't want to do that as we wanted the audience to view our video. Now all that is done the public can actually put our video on there websites by embedding it, They can also view our video on mobile devises using syndication.




We used twitter to get more hits on our video. I posted the video on twitter so my followers can view it and what twitter users then can do is re-tweet the video so there followers can also view it. Re-tweeting is tweeting somebody's tweet so that there followers can view that specific tweet. The more Re-tweets the more views so this is a good was to get my video across to the audience.



We also used Facebook to get our video across to the audience. Facebook is very much like twitter just small differences split them such as re-tweets and likes, they do the same thing, getting what someone else has posted or tweeted across to your Facebook friends and your twitter followers. I posted our video on Facebook hoping to get as many likes as possible in order to get more people to view my video.
