For our workshop this week we met in our Groups for Project brief 4, Oh No. Tyler Perry was sick! For those of you who aren’t in with the ‘cool crowd’, let me explain. I call Tyler Foster, Tyler Perry… i dont know why, but its fun. He had been admitted to hospital the past week because of pneumonia, and was unable to attend class. No fear, the remainder of the group – Annick and I started our Brainstorm:
Jasmine (our tutor) gave us a big sheet of paper on which we started brainstorming about our topic:
We then started to narrow down the areas of “Audiences” in which we were interested. Considering that both Tyler and I have youtube channels and Annick had an interest for social media we decided to pursue something in the direction of Social Media, Interactive audiences and Youtube. This idea was very much in accordance with the ideology of our collaborative group contract. One of the terms was that our area of research will be one in which we have genuine interest. The reason for this is that, often times for assignments, there is very little invested or personal interest from the participants, and this leads to lack-luster work. By choosing social media and youtube audiences, we intend to have a genuine interest in the topics.
