What Is the relationships between social media and athletes?

 How can you use social media to help you brand yourself as an athlete in a way that can help you in your sports career?

In project 3 I will explain ways to raise awareness about the consequences you have when you use social media networks. I would like to encourage more D1 athletes to use social media responsible, because I know they’re on the highest level of college sports and have so much to lose. I will help athletes understand that, you can use social media to make more money while playing professional sports.

My specific audience will be D1 athletes on college a campus. A lot of D1 athletes come to college on a full scholarship to play sports. The most conmen interest D1 athletes share is the way they carry themselves around the campus, because by knowing you’re being watched 247 anything you do will have a consequences. D1 athletes come in different classes, religion and race. D1 athletes are in the age of 18 to 23 and could be male or female.

My genre will be a YouTube parody video about the way athletes use social media in a positive way. My video will be making fun of people using social media networks in a good way. But I want my audience to take my video very serious even though It my make them laugh.

My YouTube video will use different modes such as:

·      Images

·      Acting/movement

·      Talking

·      Music

·      Written words

·      Camera work

  YouTube videos have

·      Title

·      Opening scene

·      Shorter then a movie

·      Most YouTube videos are in HD

·      Simple and easy to understand

·      Has a place to comment on videos

My model text is a video called ‘’ Mean tweets’’ it’s a video of athletes reading mean tweets about themselves. It’s a parody because its making fun of the people that’s writing about them.

•  Remind me and yourself of what your critical question is. What is the relationships between Social Media and Athletes?

•  Explain what single person (a profile) or group of people you plan to study for your project. I will be studying a basketball player named John Trueblood.

 PART 1

           Listening to summer camp, the put was just to get a better understanding  about camp life and how much fun kids have when their at camp then when they’re at home. I remember a part in the story when they said ‘’a one day camp can bring kids closer together the 2 weeks in the real world’’.  When I listen to How to Become Batman I hear a story based on  one person and how he learns how to work his way around without having eyes. At first I thought the based was going to be about a couple of rats.

       In the story with the summer camp I hear more of David and his campers telling me how much they love being at camp, and when I listen to how to become batman I hear more of the journalist speaking to the blind mans mother and how his child hood was growing up without eyes. When I listen to both story’s it was as if I was there with whom every was speaking at the time. What every they was saying I could just close my eyes and imagine what the was trying to explain .

       The podcast  for the summer camp wasn’t in any order just a lot of kids explaining there time at camp. Kids was explaining story’s about how they was trying to get their first kiss and trying to see blooded Mary. Listen to how to become batman podcast in was more in order on how he learn throughout his years growing up without being about to see.

The one thing I got from listen to the summer podcast was to be more open to people and try to build a friendship like I would with people I meet at camp.

PART 2

     If I was to go out and interview people that have a big impacted on my critical question it would be athletes that let social media take over their life in a negative and also in a positive way. I would do like a ‘’ day in the life’’ with the person I’am studying to get a better understanding on why and how did they let it get so for in their life so that it made them become the person they are today. I would study their back ground what type of neighborhood they came from just to see if that made an impact on how they did what they did.
