Film and TV future trends

Today's lecture from Jane was pretty interesting as it was focused on other forms of online television such as catch up TV , you tube stars and Vlogs. Firstly she showed us some youtube and Vlog videos of some internet famous twins who call themselves Jacksgap. I had heard of them before and seen some of their videos so I knew hoe popular they are however she showed some statistics about them that I had never heard and which I found interesting  88% of their subscribers are female between the ages of 13-17 so shows who the majority of their audience are. Another example she showed us of youtube stars was a gamer called Joseph Garret who has over 2.3 million subscribers and focuses his channel around minecraft which is a game which is very popular in the gaming community.

I watch one youtube comedy star name Jimmy Tatro who has over 2,266,700 subscribers. He is a naturally funny person who channel is full of comedy short films that he makes about everyday life he started of in college making the videos and now is hugely popular and his popularity has lead to him staring in the Hollywood film 22 jump street. So I feel this really shows the power of sites such as YouTube and the opportunity they can give talented people.

Jane then moved on to a game show called "Rising start" which I had never heard of yet I found it a really interesting idea. It added a new element to game shows as you can download an appTo finu for the show and the audience then vote using the app whether they like the singer or not. So really created an individual interactive experience for the user which I felt was great and should be used on more programs.

To finish of the lecture Jane talked about Netflix which i personally have and use allot. I feel that streaming sites are going to revolutionise how me consume television. And I fell that more and more shows are going to want to sign up to be on Netflix.There are already allot of big shows such as Orange is the new black that is a Netflix based show so I fell this will happen to allot more shows in the future.
