7. Using Youtube for feedback The social networking site YouTube is used by
millions of users everyday. Therefore my group
decided that to gain even more feedback we would
use YouTube, which allowed us to upload and view
our finished music video. From this we could see
how many people were watching it indicated by ‘hits’
and people even had the chance to like and dislike
the video.
Using Twitter for feedback
I don’t have a twitter account,
however both of my other
member of the group do.
Therefore when we uploaded
our music video to Facebook
and YouTube, my group
members decided to ‘tweet’ our
music video.
The audience feedback gained form YouTube didn’t allow us to
improve on our music video as we were given positive comments
and some people even understood how we were trying to
represent one of the actors- this tells my group that this
representation came across clearly.
