For our viral video project we were to take three master sources and make a mash-up with the intent to go viral.
Each class member brought in a clip that they contributed to the pool. We were to use:
1) our own clip
2) a class mates clip
3) one of three famous clips provided (Metropolis, Frankenstein, or Wizard of Oz)
We discussed characteristics of viral videos and approaches to making them catch on. Some of the tools that my group plans to implement are provocative tagging (closely connected as well as loosely connected). Facebook, email blasts. Targeted interest-group forums. Blogging. And covering all of the video site resources: Vimeo, YouTube, et al.
I plan to tweak my video to make it more interesting to the general public. so coming soon EVERYWHERE near you!
Results update: 5/17/11
You must go to my YouTube channel to tally my "hit" results because I actually posted it twice. It was live for a couple of weeks, but in a smaller format (A valuable lesson on setting importing and exporting format). I hope both versions can be counted since they are the same content. Last I checked total was 98!
