It was the fourth single to be released from the album 1989 (2014). • The single is a remixed version of the album track, with added guest vocals from Kendrick Lamar. It was premiered at the Billboard Music Awards. • The video broke video-streaming service Vevo’s 24-hour viewing record (accumulating 20.1 million views in its first day of release). • It won Video of the Year and Best Collaboration at the MTV Music Awards. It also won Best Music Video Grammy Award. • The video includes many references to popular action films of the past twenty years, contains captions and titles like a movie, and was marketed using ‘teaser’ posters featuring famous women from the ensemble cast, bearing the name of their character. This is a marketing technique often used in the film industry (e.g. Pulp Fiction) to introduce characters. • Swift also posted stills and behind-the-scenes shots on her Instagram account to build expectations. • Encouraged by comments by Swift on Twitter and Instagram, speculation was rife amongst fans about who the song is about. Many believed the target was Katy Perry, although the identity of the person has never been revealed.

  • Measuring Effectiveness of Video Advertisements
    Measuring Effectiveness of Video Advertisements James Hahn Dr. Adriana Kovashka Computer Science Department Computer Science Department University of Pittsburgh University of Pittsburgh Pittsburgh, PA, USA Pittsburgh, PA, USA [email protected] [email protected] Abstract—Tokyo’s Ginza district recently rose to popularity due to its upscale shops and constant onslaught of advertisements to pedestrians. Advertisements arise in other mediums as well. For example, they help popular streaming services, such as Spotify, Hulu, and YouTube TV gather significant streams of rev- enue to reduce the cost of monthly subscriptions for consumers. Ads provide an additional source of money for companies and entire industries to allocate resources toward alternative business motives. They are attractive to companies and nearly unavoidable for consumers. One challenge for advertisers is examining a advertisement’s effectiveness or usefulness in conveying a message to their targeted demographics. A company saves time and money if they know the advertisement’s message effectively transfers to its audience. This challenge proves more significant in video Fig. 1.

Drawing on scholarship about capital and social performance, this work intends to deconstruct the narrative of social media as a democractic marketplace to share and consume content. Using data from six main case study subjects along with research regarding the structural mechanisms for celebrity production in the context of social media, I construct an understanding of social media celebrity as being intimately connected to the flow of capital, especially “emotional capital” (Cottingham, 2016).

  • Women on Youtube: Exploring Identity Performances of Female Creators Using Intersectionality and Media Ecology
    WOMEN ON YOUTUBE: EXPLORING IDENTITY PERFORMANCES OF FEMALE CREATORS USING INTERSECTIONALITY AND MEDIA ECOLOGY Alyssa N. Fisher A Dissertation Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY December 2019 Committee: Radhika Gajjala, Advisor Lubomir Popov Graduate Faculty Representative John Dowd Sandra Faulkner © 2019 Alyssa Fisher All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT Radhika Gajjala, Advisor Makeup tutorials, cooking demonstrations, cocktail recipes, fashion reviews: these are the topics dominating the content of some of the most popular channels on YouTube that are led by women. In this project, conceptualizing the ways in which women express their identity through everyday enactments of life in public and at home is examined through case studies of performances from four female youtubers. The platform’s emerging content, new practices of creative control, and distribution are shaping production, consumption, and the conversation about feminism and gender identity. Through the lenses of visual analysis, media ecology, critical feminist media studies, and performativity of gender, the study examines the established ways in which four women on YouTube enact their identities online, picking and choosing which identifiers, qualities, characteristics, and actions are shared in an effort to personify their chosen self. I first use a critical feminist framework and perform a qualitative visual analysis of YouTube videos from female YouTube creators. Findings include the setting and negotiating of content templates, collaboration, use of YouTube trending content, revealing intersectional identifiers, using comedic frames, dismantling the male gaze, and catchphrases. Secondly, an exploration and analysis are done on the media ecology of the YouTube Studio.
