The document analyzes feedback from posting a trailer on various social media sites. It finds that:
1) On Facebook, most feedback came from friends, since it focuses on connections with people you know. On Tumblr, most feedback came from people the poster follows but doesn't know well, since it's easier to ask strangers questions.
2) Feedback on Facebook showed the trailer appealed more to female audiences, unlike typical horror genres. However, the sample was small and limited to the UK.
3) Tumblr helped get feedback from outside the UK. But the sample was also small since responses came from a "snowball effect" of random reblogs.
4) YouTube was a good platform
2. I have placed my Dying Leaves Trailer on three Social
Networking Sites. These Sites were: Youtube, Facebook
, Twitter and Tumblr. Each one of these sites are very
popular world wide and it allows people to share views
on things.
3. Here is a breakdown of my sample
As we can see from this bar chart that it
was mainly my friends who commented on
my work.
On Facebook, where friends are mainly
people who you know and who you have
added, it clearly shows that the majority of
my friends commented on my work.
Where as on Tumblr, a social networking
site where it more likely and easier to ask
people you do not know things via their
"Ask" page, I have a majorityu of people
who I follow but do not neccesary know
well.
A key feature to notice about Youtube and
Tumblr, is that you can tag your work so
anyone can find it.
All of the social networking sites I have
used are linked Globally!
4. Facebook Feedback
Here is my facebook feedback. One
interesting thing that can be seen is
that main girls commented on my
horror trailer, when traditionally it is the
male audience would prefer to view.
One issue I have had is that this is only
a small sample which is based in the
United Kingdom, hence most of my
friends are from the UK.
5. Twitter Feedback
Here is my facebook feedback. One
interesting thing that can be seen is
that main girls commented on my
horror trailer, when traditionally it is the
male audience would prefer to view.
One issue I have had is that this is only
a small sample which is based in the
United Kingdom, hence most of my
friends are from the UK.
6. Tumblr Feedback
Here is some of my Tumblr Feedback. I
used Tumblr because it allowed me to
break away from the UK Demographics
( as seen in my Facebook Feedback)
One issue is that I got my sample from
a Snowball effect, this is where I asked
random people who were reblogging on
my dashboard. This then meant that my
work would have been more valid.
But one issue I found was that there
was that not a lot people who wanted to
look at my trailer. This meant that this
was a micro sample.
7. Youtube Feedback
One of the main ways in which to show
the world my Trailer was on Youtube.
Each month there are( as shwon 2011),
YouTube had more than 1 trillion views
or around 140 views for every person
on Earth. This was the perfect platform
to gain a worldwide audience.
On piece of information was that mainly
Females aged between 13 to 24 years
old. This clearly shows that our trailer
has been targeted well at the audience.
8. Youtube Feedback
Here is our overview of our
demographics. I found that in fact a large
percentage of people watched it in the
United Kingdom. I expected that there
would be an equal amount of people from
the United Kingdom and America would
watch it. This was because it is deemed
more Americans are on Youtube and use
Youtube.
9. Feedback Analysis
One thing that I found was that
the more vague feedback came
from people who did not know me
well. This can be shown on my
twitter feedback, but also since
there was a only a 140 characters
limit to a tweet, this may have
effected the limited feedback.
On the other hand if people
themsleves did media studies or
were intrested in media they
tended to give a more in depth
answer. These answers were
much better for my evaluation
because it clearly showed me
clearly what went well.
