YouTube - Broadcast Yourself =)
Well this week I have been busy thinking and planning my production B assignment. I am going to do the YouTube video and my main theme is going to be about the idea that people would prefer to be on the internet than watching the television, at the park or even out shopping. My clip shows groups of people enjoying YouTube while other public places are silent because everyone is home watching something on the internet. I then decided to delve deeper into the idea that YouTube is so full of different clips that it doesn’t matter what you type in something will always come up, no matter what your interests may be. By continuing this thought I got my friend to type in 10 randomised words and see what came up while I filmed her. As the clip progresses we then see people outside trying to make their own clip to upload, so they too can get as many views and comments and become “YouTube famous.”
Though at the moment I have absolutely no idea how to finish the clip, I have a temporary start but my ending needs work. So far I am up to the vacant shopping centre but nothing to tie the whole thing together. I have asked around but hopefully my personal viewing of YouTube can give me some ideas on how to manipulate and bring all my ideas together so the audience will understand and appreciate my work. I have also been looking at delicious, seeing if there have been any blogs posted about YouTube or anything that can help me with my clip. I feel my clip does analyse YouTube by showing how much effort we put into this ‘virtual’ television station. Where people would prefer to sit on YouTube and watch clips other people have uploaded rather than television shows. It is the easy way to watch what you want when you want. This week I am going to continue researching and hopefully very shortly I will have an ending which satisfies my thoughts and creates a suitable sum up of the clip for my audience.
