YouTube research.

1. T Try to define the different type of youtube videos that exist on the web and provide an example of each.

Types of YouTube videos:

. Parodies (Shakira parody)

. Cartoons (Mickey Mouse)

. Short films (Despicable me)

. Performance artists (Shona Crossen)

. Comic skits (Tharolsavam)

. Music videos

. Advertisements

. Film trailers

. Movies

. Video Montage

. Documentaries

. Video Bloggers

. Reviews

. Lectures

. Publicists

. Machinima

2. Videos can be mixed and remixed across the whole globe, leading to what Wesch describes as ‘context collapse’. Find a selection of ‘mash-up’ videos that appear to be the most (or one of the most) common. Take a record of the ways and reasons for which they were created.
