Today we will continue our look at YouTube and independent creators of content.
We'll use this site to check out the categories they named for YouTube videos:
- http://mediakix.com/2016/02/most-popular-youtube-videos/#gs.uZB=RJg
You'll choose one more video channel to check out, based on what we see today.
That means you will have a total of three YouTubers you will write about tomorrow:
- The one you wrote about last Thursday (in a Google Doc - check the 4/20 blog post)
- One you select from the list of VidCon presenters (someone with a type / style of channel different from your first choice)
- One you find today, based on the categories we see.
You'll have half of class today to watch videos from those channels. For tomorrow's essay, you will need to:
- Use some of the technical terminology we first looked at last week on these sites:
- Describe the basics for your channel - type of content, number of viewers, role of "host"
- Compare / contrast the ways in which these channels present content and appeal to viewers
- Who is the intended audience?
- Is there continuity from one video to the next? Is it easy for new viewers to just jump in?
- How do they use different technical / video / film techniques to add to this appeal?
- Conclusions about YouTube based on the videos we've watched together and the ones you selected.
You'll have the whole period to work tomorrow. Bring headphones / earbuds!
