Working with interactive media products

The interactive media product I am working with is Internet webpage such as YouTube.

YouTube is a website which is video based with videos on everything you really need. These videos can be anything from video game walkthroughs to how to apply make-up. It is for people who do not fully understand how to use equipment, who seek entertainment from famous You Tubers  (people who have channels that people can subscribe to which notifies the people who have subscribed when the you tuber has uploaded a video.)

There isn’t a specific age range, gender orientation, demographic lifestyle of people that use YouTube. It can be anything from 10-year-old children to 80-year-old pensioners.

There isn’t much text on YouTube. The only text on it is to describe what the videos are with short bios, titles and bios of the you tubers channel. The layout is very good and basic. It has you’re recommended videos and categories down the left side of the screen. There is also a search bar on the top middle of the screen to directly search for what you want to watch or searches close to it.

As you can see by the image there is a search bar on top and recommended videos down the side and description of the video on the bottom of the video.

Overall strengths of YouTube is that it is quite basic and easy to use. Also the fact that there is many video walkthroughs and helpful videos to whatever you need help with.

 The weaknesses of YouTube is mainly based in the comment section where you will most likely get harassed by all the people known as “trolls” of the Internet who will insult you for everything that you may do wrong.
