Tutorial Five: Video Production Sessions continued

YouTube was founded in February 2005 (YouTube, 2010). It is a place for people to go on and upload videos from their phone, laptop, camera or any other device, for the world to see. These can be videos of anything and everything, ranging from educational ones to fitness ones to ones that just make people laugh. It is a place for people everywhere to go on and watch such videos that people have put up to be seen. It is a place for people to discover new things and see things that you’d never think was possible to see from the other side of the world. It is a place for people to share their videos and the experiences that they have had. When people upload their videos to YouTube, anything can happen - they can become famous from artists seeing their song and therefore finding their new prodigy; some people just get very well-known for the ridiculous videos on which they put on. People can comment on these videos and give the owner feedback on what they thought and how good it was.
