Influencers:
James Charles-
He is a beauty influencer with a big following on instagram and youtube. He makes beauty based videos and promotes his brand through his videos and instagram posts. He tends to collab with popular influencers which benefits his growth. His net worth is $12 million. I support what James Charles does even though I wouldn't do it myself, he thrives in the beauty industry and makes a lot of money from it so fair play to him.
Sidemen-
The sidemen are a group of different influencers working together in their own joint brand. They thrive on youtube, releasing youtube videos every sunday. They also have their own clothing brand which they promote in every video and in each video they do on the main channel they give out a discount code so more viewers buy their merch. Not only do they have the Sidemen channel they also have their own individual youtube channels plus two more Sidemen channels (more sidemen and sidemen reacts). They have a net worth of $6.8 million. As a fan I really like what they do and I think they should keep at it.
KSI-
KSI is a youtuber, boxer and musician. Starting out as a gaming youtuber KSI slowly became more and more popular and has always specialized in music. As of recently he got a number 2 album in the official charts which he promoted a lot through his twitter and youtube. He also had a few boxing events and was the first professional youtube boxer. His net worth is $20 million.
Product Placement:
Today I learnt the art of product placement and how epic it is.
Product placement shows the audience that the influencers must like the product therefore they buy them. I think product placement is alright if it's used properly so correct research must be done incase it's a harmful product.

Example of clickbait:
My own clickbait:
Leading Lines:
This is important because it shows the audience where to look.
It helps the audience enjoy the film more as they're seeing what you want them to see, creating the chance to add some ambiance. I think my attempt came out alright it definitely adds the effect i wanted.
My target audience-
My target audience are young adults, it can be for both genders. I think the audience that are mostly going be people who like shows like 13 reasons why. I don't see anyone above the age of 30 really enjoying my film, it's definitely more tailored to the life of young adults.
Questionnaire-
I asked my friend who is 16 what she thinks and she said she would watch it and that the age demographic that I said about would definitely watch it.
