Parris - Evaluation Question 3 - Facebook

To receive audience feedback, I was originally meant to upload our horror magazine, poster and trailer on to Twitter but the server had said the files were too large to completely upload. This meant that I had to upload them onto Facebook instead. Unfortunately I wasn’t able to upload the magazine and poster onto Facebook as the files were still too large. However I was able to share our teaser trailer via the Youtube link.

When sharing the teaser trailer I had hoped at least 5 constructive comments.  Unsuccessfully I had only received 2 comments, one being constructive. The constructive comment claimed the trailer “looks good, make it more flashy, add a horror part to it”. By this they meant the trailer did not seem scary enough and did not contain much action within. When they had said “add a horror part to it”, by horror they had meant blood, guts and killing.

The other comment was simply about how funny they had thought the trailer was at a specific part. The part they had thought were the funniest was when the scientist grabs their head and transforms into a zombie. He claimed that it was funny because the character looked as if he was doing the “migraine skank” which is an urban dance in the UK. This showed us that because our trailer was seen to be funny, people would then recommend it for other to watch as they may recognise the scene in the trailer that is funny.

The cross media promotion was important for our horror poster because it helped us learn how to converge our products in different ways through many different companies such as mobiles, computers and consoles depending on what softwares were used.

We had promoted our poster by uploading it on social networking site such as Twitter and Facebook. We had decided to put the poster on these particular sites because they are 2 of the most teenage populated social networking sites in the world.

The advantage of uploading the poster on Facebook was that a variety of people were able to view, like and comment on the poster. This meant that people of any age that we were ‘friends’ with on Facebook could give us critical feedback that could let us know the positives and negatives about the poster. However a disadvantage of uploading the poster on Facebook is that not many people will comment due to the amount of ‘friends’ you have on the website and how they are feeling at the time. What I mean by this is, if you do not have many ‘friends’ on the website you will have a limited amount of feedback which you may not benefit from.

The advantage of uploading the poster on Twitter is that people from all over the world are able to view the poster without any difficulty. This means that they would not need to be ‘friends’ with me as you would have to on Facebook. The benefit of this is that we could receive feedback from people all over the world who may even have experience in the media film industry. However the disadvantage to the poster being on Twitter is that people may take no notice of it because they are able to see that the poster is amateur and that they will gain nothing for themselves if they give us feedback.

Cross Media Convergence helps with the promotion of our poster it gives people access to it through many different ways. Seeing as we had uploaded the poster onto Facebook and Twitter, people are then able to view the product on their mobile phones, games consoles and iPods. They are able to view the poster on their phones and iPod because there are Facebook and Twitter applications that can be downloaded on both devices. People are also able to view the poster on their games consoles such as a Play Station 3, Play Station Portable and an XBOX 360. This is because you are able to access both social networking sites through the internet on all three consoles. However the only disadvantage of this I that to view the poster overall, you will need a wifi internet connection. Without this you are not able access Facebook and Twitter though your mobile phone, games consoles on iPod.
