GENIUS HOUR

MODE- Informational, entertaining?
MEDIA- Youtube video
AUDIENCE- Teenagers, pre-teens
PURPOSE- Being within many fandoms, I thought it'd intrigue people to know why they were so addicting.
SITUATION- Being interested in things is always a nice distraction for things that might be not so good. It's also a great stress reliever. However, I know some people who are so obsessed with things, they decided to pretend their life is based off these imaginary worlds. I wanted to see why these things were so easily addicting and whether it's a good or bad thing to be addicted to.

What did you research and why?
I researched why people tend to get into fandoms and tend to get obsessed with fictional and nonfictional people. I researched this because this has been a part of my life for a long time. Whenever I'm feeling down, I can fall back on the things I am interested in and it will cheer me up. Fandoms are extremely fun to be in and it's great ways to meet new people. I also wanted to know why it was so difficult for me to fall out of love with these characters and celebrities.

What did you create and why?
I created a video because I thought a video would be a fun way to express the information I gathered and I thought I could do some creative things with it. However, with my lack of ability to edit videos, it didn't come out how I wanted, but it turned out okay.
