A massive part of today's society revolves around news and updates, particularly via social media websites such as Facebook, Twitter and YouTube. These websites are used for the majority of the time for getting news and knowledge of what is going on in the world, whether it be between friends, celebrities or world events. Media companies are particular fans of these forms of websites because it allows them to stay modern and up to date, as well as gives them the ability to communicate with their audience and fans. It's a great way to advertise and promote products also.
We all decided that our film would look more authentic and be promoted a lot better if we created some pages for it via these social media forms.
YouTube would be one of our most useful social media forms as our project revolves around moving image and video, this being what YouTube specialises in and is known best for. Matt, Katie and I each created our own little media based YouTube channels and will be using them to promote any material we would like to broadcast via this website.
Following Facebook's step-by-step page guide, I created a simple page for our film Anchored Renegade. After I had created the basic elements (including page name, description, admins), I started to create posts that involved our film in some way or another. I then began to invite people from my friends list to like the page and promote it. We will see how many likes and fans we get by the end of our project.
You can view the Facebook page by clicking the link below:
I also started off a Twitter hash tag for Anchored Renegade. This hash tag will be visible at the end of our final video product and also on some of our ancillary tasks. Using hash tags will allow us to firstly see if we reached the Twitter audience, but also to see how promoted are film has become overall. If the hash tag spreads, it could mean big promotion for us.
