Commissions Unit: Use of the social networking site: Twitter

Previously mentioned in one of my update pages, my group and I have decided to incorporate twitter with our documentary - making it seem more suitable for the BBC 3 channel and generally towards the more modern audience.

How have we done it?

Our original plan was to get Jake to tweet before and after his tattoo - so that there is this consistency of Twitter throughout our documentary. However, we were unable to film before he got the tattoo, meaning we only used Twitter for after he got his tattoo.

Our new plan was to show Jake tweeting Lady Gaga a picture of his tattoo, as well as a message of his choice. We then created a hashtag called '#SuperFans' (which additionally is now our documentary title)  - this is mainly so that our audience can socialise with the documentary, and use the hashtag to talk about our documentary (if necessary) via Twitter.

Below are some print screens from the footage showing Jake tweeting to Gaga.
