2.1 Dilemma and Thoughts

Topic 3  : How did mobile devices change the way people use the internet? Consider its consumer impact and relate them to a specific creative industry/profession.


Mobile devices can also be known for a portable version of the computer. Consumers are able to easily access to the internet just with the availability of mobile data or Wi-Fi. Furthermore, mobile devices has more than the ability to serve the web. For example, it has good camera function, GPS, calendar, etc.  The production of mobile devices led to the emergence of applications for social media on mobile devices. Applications on mobile devices drew the attention to many people and soon enough you can see many people using their mobile devices to access to the applications on their mobile device. Correspondingly, its efficiency are able to let people start-up their businesses online very easily. For example, through Instagram application, it is possible for anyone to post pictures for the consumers with an account to see it. From there onwards, they are able to interact with their followers online and on the go. With high amount of followers and high quality pictures, they get paid from the agency of the application.


Topic 4 : Compare and contrast how two different communities or social groups use a specific social media platform. Which of the two groups has more to gain and why?


Examples of popular social media are Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and YouTube. The social media can be access by anyone who can access to the internet. Therefore, there are different groups of people who uses the social media. It can be children, advertisers, marketers, designers, etc. Different group of people have different use of the social media platform. It depends on what they want to extract from that particular social media platform.


Even though, I had more thoughts on Topic 3, I want to challenge myself to write an essay on Topic 4. In this case, I get to research more in depth about this topic and gain more knowledge from it. 
Therefore, from this blog post onwards, I'll be posting my research on :-
  • Social media platforms 
  • Communities involved 
  • Pros and Cons of the social media platform
before proceeding to concentrate on a specific social media platform

3.6 Conclusion & Essay Structure

QUESTION 5 Explore a variety of media is used within the context of branding or transmedia storytelling . Does variety dilute the effectiveness of an advertising campaign or story? From my research this past few weeks, I decided to concentrate solely on trans-media storytelling and plan to concentrate on one franchise that uses it which is  Pokémon as I believe it has greatly succeeded by using this technique. Therefore, I will be including Henry Jenkins' theory of transmedia storytelling 101 to backup my research essay on  Pokémon as trans-media storytelling.  To be honest, I'm not sure whether I'm on the right track on this essay topic because I'm only concentrating on one specific franchise in trans-media storytelling and whether the points on my essay structure is repeating itself?

Fan art- Incorporation of My Little Pony and Eeveelution from Pokémon As "a vehicle of and for the national imagination transmitted through a currency of superpowers and lovable characters", Pokemon fans are very invested in their characters. (Allison, 2006) Therefore, with their love and interest for the characters, they create their own version of the story also known as fan-fiction .
