In making this web series we have learnt unlike Tv series. We have to pick a target audience and have to be able to attract that audience or the show will fail. The only way to get people attention of the web series is through adverts and links through sites. If you don't make sure this adverts or link are not on the right sight to get the attention of your target audience then it is very hard to get views if the people who see it do come under the target audience and don't like it because its not there thing.
Our show is distributed on Vemio and Youtube but we have link to them through facebook and Twitter. this allows people to view the show when ever the wish all they do if the come our facebook or twitter page is just to follow the link to the videos or watch them there on the facebook page. This is different from shows like Red vs Blue which they have there own website that a lot of people view it on or go on there official youtube site which link to it are everywhere as soon as you type the show in a search engine like google or Yahoo. With our audience we had a challenge of finding an easy and effective way of getting to out target audience. We used Social Networking sites to post information out as our target age group majority of them use some kind of Social Networking site and Facebook we feel is one of the most popular sites and we can paternally get a lot of fans from this site.
After screening the 1st episode we got many hits not as much as others shows but we had some kind of small following. we got the odd comment most of them people enjoyed them but some people did have some concerns and constructive criticism. Like less swearing or just asking for more of a storyline. these comments reflected in the second episode. Unlike TV producers don't always hear all the criticism like web show do as most web show have forums under the show for people to talk about what they liked and disliked. this in a web show shows what people want and this mean getting more of a fan base if more people like one thing and others don't like another things can change so more people are happy with it.
In conclusion audiences in showing creative work is the core of what makes things good because if you have no audience can people say it is good or original if no one can see it. As well people have freedom of speech and they can either say they like your product or they can just as easily give harsh criticism it if they don’t like it and everyone can see there comment and that one comment can effect what people think before watching it if they see people say bad thing about the person about to watch it might think twice if other people say it bad as well as if people say its good a person might get the feeling its really good and be disappointed in the end
