Style for Tumblr Posts

One style rule I’d highly recommend to get your post noticed is a combination of a very short header text and image combination. The image should reflect the goal of your post, made verbalized by your heading. Or, your heading can not communicate much if it’s an attention grabber, but then your image should portray the message of your post. These elements should work together instead of being too busy and this fighting each other.

What is the appeal of long YouTube videos?

One of my favorite genres of YouTube video is a video essay, where the creator spends over an hour on a topic. This could be diving into the lore of a show, explaining a moment in pop culture, or educating the audience on a specific topic. To me, long form YouTube videos are appealing because they are similar to a TV show or movie. You can also play them in the background while doing another task, since they’re usually focused more on talking than visuals (although not always.)

Style "rules" for TikTok

A style rule for creating a TikTok video is to keep it short! I know now you can upload a video that is up to 10 minutes long but personally if a video is longer than 3 minutes on TikTok I’m scrolling or skipping through it, but I am obviously not a member of every audience on TikTok. I think in general people go on TikTok to scroll through MANY videos and have a laugh or two. If your video is 10 minutes long and doesn't have a consistent audience, then it’s likely not many viewers will sit and watch a 10-minute-long video on TikTok. Another style rule I would suggest is to use trending hashtags and sounds. That way people who interact with those sounds or hashtags are more likely to have your video pop up on their for-you-page.

Original Content #2

A good rule of thumb for creating short tumblr posts that hook audiences right away is to include a visual element. Generally, audiences aren't as receptive to just reading a plain paragraph of text, but if you add an image or video, their eyes can latch onto that and it can quickly pique their interest. They will then be all the more receptive to reading the paragraph of text that you wrote to go with this image.

Thursday Check In

What assignment questions do you have that will help you complete the assignment successfully? 

Is this project related to the Content Analysis Project? Will looking at that project help me for this one?

Thursday Check-In

I have a solid understanding of the parameters of this project. As a result, I am excited to create and respond to the content of this hypothetical situation. This is a relatively minor detail, but I was wondering to what extent the "content" must be curated. Should I make all of it on an external engine such as Canva, or can some of the responses be made specifically on Tumblr?

Enjoy a photograph of the little pond by Caputo. My friend and I sat in the sunshine on the dock on Wednesday afternoon, and life was good.

Style Rule for Instagram Reels:

When making Instagram reels if making a process video or step by step have the video sped up. This way the audience member watching can get the content in the most effective way without getting bored.

Explain the appeal of long podcasts (20+ minutes), why do audiences listen? How do the creators make choices to engage the audience?

I think much like YouTube videos, podcasts can provide background noise for your life. I think the appeal of podcasts is that you can do other things while listening to them, like driving or cleaning. It's a great way to learn because you can devote time to it while also devoting time to other things.

This step ladder was designed well. It has a good handle at the top that makes it comfortable to carry. It also has a latching handle that locks the steps open so it feels safer. Once you're done using it, the handle can be unlatched to easily fold it up.

Style Rule for a Tumblr Post.

Throughout all the Tumblr posts I've created and written so far, I found that a good rule of thumb to help get noticed by others is to start up a conversation. Asking a question, or asking for help, or just wanting to know what's going on in the world can strike up talk between people. I found that simply talking about or giving random updates on work that I've done doesn't garner enough talk, but putting your foot forward and starting the talk yourself is the best way to get feedback and responses from people.

Thursday Check-in Post #13

What assignment questions do you have that will help you complete the assignment successfully? This is a two part assignment that spans two weeks - how can I help you be successful? @npfannen

I just want to make sure I am understanding this assignment correctly. So for this first part we are brainstorming our version of Favorite Show. Can it be any genre? Can we make up a name for the show or are we just labeling it "favorite show"? Are we allowed to choose another social media platform that is not listed? Does the TV/Movie Studio have to be made up as well or just called TV Movie Studio? I'm sure I will come up with more questions as I progress.

Style for Instagram Reel

Always, always, always keep your reel short, no matter what. If people want to watch a long video, they’ll go to Youtube. The audience is on Reels because they want a quick video and have a short attention span. Consolidate your content into preferably a minute-long video at the most. If you have a lot to communicate, grab their attention with a statement and write your content in the description.

Thursday Check-In Week 13

After reading the description for the design project, I have a better understanding of what needs to be accomplished. However, I have a few questions that I could not find clear answers for. First, I am unsure if we are meant to specifically use "TV Movie Studio Co" and "Favorite Show" as real names throughout the project or if those are just placeholders and we need to create fake names. Additionally, I wanted to clarify that we can choose any social media platform listed in the description (tumblr, Facebook, Instagram, Twitter) to complete every sample post for the project. @npfannen

Thursday Check-In 4/11

I have a question about the Design Project Part 1 for my Thursday Check-In post this week. After reading over all of the documents that were posted in this week’s folder, I think I have a pretty good grasp on our final project for this class. However, for part one, I have a question on what needs to be submitted. I understand the sample posts, but for the audience analysis, it states that a brainstorm is acceptable for this part. Does the brainstorm have to be heavily designed (pictures/graphics, headings/subheadings, colors, etc) like the design projects in the past or does an organized Google Docs format work?

Long Youtube Videos

The appeal of longer youtube videos is the depth a creator can go into. This can be on any topic, from fishing to pop culture of the time. These deep dive videos, typically called “video essays” are great entertainment for the general consumer, offering a unique perspective on a topic that may be over or under discussed. These, like with long podcasts, are great background noise while being informative and entertaining. Creators can make exciting videos that are longer, focusing on comedy or facts. Creators are also incentivized to create videos longer than 8 minutes long in order to receive monetization, so creators will be making longer videos with catchy titles or thumbnails in order to pull in an audience.

Style rule for a TikTok video:

A style rule for a TikTok video could be utilizing text while recording the video. People do this to explain what is going on instead of using the captions when the video isn’t speaking or it’s just playing music. Although visual pictures and videos are good for explaining what is going on, text can help further engage audience.
