Assessing Social Networking Feedback

I have placed my Dying Leaves Trailer on four Social Networking Sites. These Sites are: Youtube, Facebook , Twitter and Tumblr. Each one of these sites are very popular worldwide and will be perfect for gaining a worldwide view.

Here is a breakdown of my sampleAs we can see from this bar chart it was mainly my friends who commented on my work.

On Facebook, where friends are mainly people who you know and who you have added, it clearly shows that the majority of my friends commented on my work.

Where as on Tumblr, a social networking site where it more likely and easier to ask people you do not know things via their "Ask" page, I have a majorityu of people who I follow but do not neccesary know well.

A key feature to notice about Youtube and Tumblr, is that you can tag your work so anyone can find it.

All of the social networking sites I have used are linked Globally!

Facebook FeedbackHere is my facebook feedback. One interesting thing that can be seen is that mainly girls commented on my horror trailer, when traditionally it is the male audience would prefer to view horor trailers.

One issue I have had is that this is only a small sample which is based in the United Kingdom, hence most of my friends are from the UK.

Twitter Feedback

Here is my facebook feedback. One interesting thing that can be seen is that main girls commented on my horror trailer, when traditionally it is the male audience would prefer to view.

One issue I have had is that this is only a small sample which is based in the United Kingdom, hence most of my friends are from the UK.

Tumblr FeedbackHere is some of my Tumblr Feedback. I used Tumblr because it allowed me to break away from the UK Demographics ( as seen in my Facebook Feedback)

One issue is that I got was I got my sample from a Snowball effect, this is where I asked random people who were reblogging on my dashboard. This then meant that my work would have been more valid and this meant that some of the samples held the same characteristics.

But one issue I found was that there was that not a lot people who wanted to look at my trailer. This meant that this was a micro sample.

Youtube FeedbackOne of the main ways in which I could show the world my Trailer was on Youtube. Each month there are( as shwon 2011), more than 1 trillion views or around 140 views for every person on Earth. This was the perfect platform to gain a worldwide audience.

On piece of information was that mainly Females aged between 13 to 24 years old. This clearly shows that our trailer has been targeted well at the audience.

Youtube FeedbackHere is our overview of our demographics. I found that in fact a large percentage of people watched it in the United Kingdom. I expected that there would be an equal amount of people from the United Kingdom and America would watch it. This was because it is deemed more Americans are on Youtube and use Youtube.

Feedback Analysis

One thing that I found was that the more vague feedback came from people who did not know me well. This can be shown on my twitter feedback, but also since there was a only a 140 characters limit to a tweet, this may have effected the limited feedback.

On the other hand if people themselves did media studies or were interested in media they tended to give a more in depth answer. These answers were much better for my evaluation because it clearly showed me what went well.
