My LinkedIn profile:

My Data was based around all kinds of Social Media, and I realised that by the end of my survey, when I found it was finished that I focused the majority of my survey on people who were more on Facebook due to the fact that I had people on FaceBook who are family that shared it to help with my College work, and I found that any of my closer friends that partook in the survey decided to be rather inappropriate.

If I was to do this again, I’d make sure to not give questions that could allow some of my friends to be childish, and I would include other questions that would allow me to gain more data.

In this, I’ve realised that:

There is an array of ages on all Social Media platforms.

Most of my viewers are no longer in education.

I have a lot of different professions that look at my social media platforms.

Facebook, WhatsApp. YouTube and SnapChat are the most used platforms and because of this I will either use Facebook or Youtube because I wish to be more digitally based where my work can be kept and seen.

Deadpool is one of the highest grossing movies of all time, and when the sequel was set to be released, Ryan Reynolds and his working team were not at all shy about it. They had many ways to promote their upcoming film, like the teaser that was actually promoting the 2017 hit movie Logan, where Deadpool takes a very long time to change in order to try, and fail at saving a civilian. There is also the case of him with his interaction with football star David Beckham, and lets not forget his work based around Bob Ross and his work in the Wet on Wet trailer.

I believe that these forms of advertisements simply made the audience even more curious about what was set up for his upcoming movie. Purely because none of these trailers actually had anything to do with what the movie was about, they were literally teasers, which were created to make sure that Deadpool wouldn’t lose any of its audience.

The Christmas teaser released at the end of 2017 was probably the one that got most of the Deadpool fans riled up the most. This was due to the simplicity of the trailer, featuring Reynolds talking about, in the Deadpool costume, the twelve days of Christmas, with absolutely no indication as to what the twelfth day would bring. This was another way to keep the audience gripped, as they were aware that the last day would reveal the new trailer for the upcoming film.

When it came down to the actual trailer, Deadpool went all the way and shocked its viewers, due to the fact that I don’t think that any of them expected so much brutality and action to be thrown into the trailer as it seemed to give away all of the fight scenes that would feature in the movie. However, Ryan was as great as ever and really pulled off the movie in the end.

Overall, I believe that Deadpool has one of the most creative marketing ploys, and they’re extremely clever when it comes down to promoting their work. They know how to keep their audience aware, and they don’t fail when it comes to presenting overall. It’s also a really great movie.

My mission is to complete my level 3 media course with a minimum of a pass, although I am headed for a distinction. I wish to pass this course due to the fact that it would aid me in what I wish my future job to be. I hope for my future job to be working within the media industry either with music production or theatre work where I help with the lighting and the sound in the back booth. I’ve always had a passion for music and playing an instrument, but I always felt like there was something missing from it all. It wasn’t until I realised a few years ago that there was a digital form of working with music that I finally realised what I wanted to do in life.

Within all of this work I want to travel at the same time, hoping that my job eventually takes me around the world so I can experience more in life and have a chance to try all different foods from around the world.

Twitter: Twitter began as an idea that Jack Dorsey, the co-founder had in 2006, in which he imagined twitter to be a SMS based communication platform. During the early days, Twitter was referred to as Twttr. This was due to the fact that a popular trend at the time was to drop the vowels in the name of a company. The first tweet was posted on March 21, 2006 by Jack himself, and was quoted, ‘just setting up my twttr.’

LinkedIn emphasises a user’s professional connections, unlike other social network platforms like Facebook or Instagram. It’s used so creators can form resume like profiles that will help them to summarise their careers or advertise their skills or list their previous education and employment history. It also allows users to connect with other users and search for jobs or search through connections (even third hand) at a particular company. 

It was launched in 2003, making it older than any other large working social media platform like Facebook, YouTube and Twitter. Reid Hoffman, the Co-Founder; recruited a group of old colleagues from SocialNet and PayPal to work on an idea. LinkedIn was launched six months later, and the growth was slow at first, with around twenty sign ups a day. 

In 2004, the growth accelerated with the introduction of the address book upload feature in in late 2003. The platform also introduced new features that included groups and partners with American Express to promote offerings to small business owners. In early January, LinkedIn moved over and into a new office that was situated on the third floor of 1975 El Camino Real in Mountain View.
