YouTube Audience- Educators & Students
YouTube videos are also being used as a learning source. It is a step forward to the digital age for learning in a classroom. Today, students have shorter attention span so with a short and fun educational video, students actually learn better. This is backed up with a research held by W. Marc Jackman and Patricia Roberts. Lastly, I ended my blog post about thoughts and opinion about educators using YouTube educational videos in classrooms.

Business Companies- Marketers
Social Media being one of the biggest platform for advertising, marketers take advantage of it as advertising on YouTube is affordable and effective. A successful advertisement is when advertisers create a quality video targeting to a specific audience and sharing it to other social media.

Summary
This is a brief insight of my blog posts.

_____________________________________________________________________________________

What do I need to learn more about my topic is evaluating and analysing the pros and cons of the YouTube community and also Marketers. For now, I think my blog post have a little too much brief information about my topic as I was trying to made up my mind on which community I should concentrate on in my essay. I need to question more about the differences between both of this community and have a deeper knowledge about marketing so I can tackle this question meticulously.
I need to really get the hang of doing a better research blog.

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?
