I will rate this video 5/10. =]
A) How many viewers are estimated to have watched the youtube video?
According to Youtube, there are estimated to have 34,222,774 viewers watched 'Leave Britney Alone".
B) How would you rate the video?
- Is it of high quality in technical terms? Is it interesting aesthetically eg camera angles, use of light, the narrative, and so on?
- Does it raise interesting socio-cultural issues?
After I do some research on the net, I found that some people just regard this video as an ironic piece of recording towards Britney since they think that Chris Crocker is simply "an actor",and also some video responses just ironically labelled Crocker as a 'Drama Queen" and, according to Wiki, Wired Magazine noted, "sent world Schadenfreude levels zooming to heights unseen since the Fatty Arbuckle Scandal."(Chris Crocker Internet celebrity)
Moreover, when Crocker was defensing fro Britney's comeback performance, he seemed to be covered by a curtain or a bed sheet and the lighting was in a very warm tone, I think all these helped to enhance his bad feeling and emphasize the sad atmosphere of the video.Furthermore, I think this video reflects that the showbiz thing can easily arouse public's attention. I think Crocker is really seizing the opportunity of the criticism towards the public figure- Britney Spears' comeback stage performance. He grabbed the chance and made good use of this and thus it "brightens' his career life and he became an Internet Celebrity.

C) Do you think deserved the attention that it received from the internet community?
I think this video is not really deserved that much attention from the internet community since this video is neither well-produced nor great-organised. And not much meaningful messages can be brought from the video.
Hi, you've mentioned that this video did not deserve the attention it received due to its poor technical problem and little meaningful messages. But it makes people to think, right? Isn't it enough to say it deserves the attention when it makes people to think about the issue of our society? I think it a more important factor as a standard to get attention rather than the technical problems.
回覆刪除Hi,Mia.thank you for your opinion. Actually I agree with your point of making people to rethink since I also mentioned that this video can reflects that ho great the showbiz field can affect our lives. And for the public's attention part, I just think that this video is not arousing as many meaningful messages as other vdeos like the 'fun two'.
回覆刪除Hey Kyra,
回覆刪除I totally agree with your opinion.
I think the Crocker video is something that can be see from any actor in the business now-a-days. I think Bus Uncle is more compelling and leads the viewer to ask more important social issues.
