YouTube Podcast #1

Even though this research blog deadline was already due, I would like to continue to add some content into this blog as I am still researching on my topic and I want to have a place where I can channel my thoughts and points on the resources that I feel can be related to my topic. 

After the first tutorial, I was told by my lecturer that marketers/business companies are not really a community as community is when people with the same interest come together. My lecturer then suggested me to just go in depth about YouTubers using Youtube as a social media platform. I was told to change one of the communities(marketers) in my essay into a specific genre of YouTubers with another genre of YouTubers. For example : Gamers vs Vloggers. 

Therefore, I will research more about YouTubers and figure out which kind of content creator I would like to choose to write on for my essay. For now, I am comfortable with writing about Vloggers but the other content creator that I want to compare and contrast with is still unclear.

 Listening to music all the time bores me as I can't stand listening to the same song over and over again. Therefore, I listen to podcasts. This is a podcast that I stumble upon my recommended feed. I find it interesting and it will also help me on my essay topic. 
(Recommended feed can be good or bad for YouTubers)

Podcast #30 - Friendship & Working With YouTubers
by Jenna Julien



Points that I picked up from the podcast
Viewers want them to collaborate with their other fav. YouTuber. Some YouTubers make content(videos) with another YouTuber just for views. They're not friends but just another YouTuber to collaborate with. She doesn't feel comfortable with them. It doesn’t work like that.

Age gap is actually a problem. They cannot relate with each other. Example: Clubbing

Most YouTubers don’t know what they’re actually doing even though some of them act as though know what they are doing going with the internet . Nobody knows where they can go with their videos. (Fame : Tv shows, pop artist , movie)

(24:11)Younger generations make money from YouTube whereas older popular are the ones that pave the path for the new YouTubers now.

A couple of new/young popular YouTubers: They are not the biggest of the deal of the world but they think they are the great and best.They should think about the older popular YouTubers that have been on YouTube for a long time who has put lot of thoughts to their video and make YouTube a platform which is not just for random normal home videos / animal videos

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? Not much critical thinking? _________________________________________________________________________________ ESSAY STRUCTURE So does the variety of trans-media storytelling di...

3.5e Pokémon Fan Fiction

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 . According to Henry Jenkins, fan fiction can be seen as an unauthorised expansion of these media franchises into new directions which reflect the reader's desire to "fill in the gaps" they have discovered in the commercially produced material. Fan fiction are normally being produced by dedicated individual that wish to continue the role for their favourite character in the initial story. Pleasing their own desire, they create their own storyline; it could be a continuation, a new storyline or even a crossover between characters from other television series. Basically, there...
