How real media examples changed my coursework

Ellen Wilson

What I used

• When I made my survey through the website ‘survey monkey’ then I decided to publish it on ‘Twitter’. I used twitter to reach my target audience and get as many replies as I could.

Twitter

• As a lot of people around my target audience use twitter on their every day life, I felt that it would be best to use it to be able to get the best results. Fortunately I had enough replies to find out what I needed. I know that many of my followers are from the target audience as they are all around my age and that is the target audience for my coursework piece.

Research into Twitter

• As recently the new film ‘The Impossible’ came out then it actually used what people said on twitter about the film to advertise it. Usually they would use such companies as ‘The Times’ professional view on the film. This shows how the world is changing and how real media is the way forward.

How it changed my piece

• Using twitter changed my piece as I found most of my research through the survey which my followers on twitter completed for me. It was an easy and quick way to get research, as if I was to go up to people and ask them to do a survey then they might do it without wanting to so will not answer the questions properly.
