Crafting Participatory Culture

-

What is Jenkins's theory that the author is referring to here? How might it apply to how audiences interact with the Minecraft game?

Jenkins defines this kind of culture as one in which fans and other consumers are invited to actively participate in the creation and circulation of new content. The way that this helps the audience interact with the Minecraft game is by having them actively participate in the game and the creation and circulation of new content.

How is Minecraft different to conventional computer games in terms of narrative and what kind of experience this offers gamers?

A user is both a 'producer' and a 'consumer' can be referenced as a 'prosumer'. Only about 10% of people produce material and 90% of people are still consumers. The fans can still have different levels of participation.

How did YouTube respond to this trend? Have a look at what YouTube offers to gamers by going to the site. Watch a PewDiePie and Ali A video as part of your research.

When the trend first came about in 2015 You Tube launched 'You Tube gaming' a website that specifically for content such as lets play videos with improved features such as live streaming. You Tube gamers such as PewDiePie have became inernet famous from sharing their gaming videos of them playing Minecraft and other games onto You Tube.

Who is Herobrine and Steve?

Herobine is the first mysterious Minecraft character, he would appear in peoples games without any reason, often scaring the players.

Steve is a character that can be controlled in Minecraft and previously confirmed on the 'profile' page near the skin change system.

Why did Mojang shut down Brandon Liatch's attempt to create a Minecraft 'film'?

Fans continued to produce their own stories that fit with the little information what Mojang provides consumers with, these games related videos received nearly twice as much engagement than any other categories on You Tube. Brandon Liatch wanted to create a live action part animation film based on the Minecraft world.

American Beauty - scene analysis

American Beauty  Representation: Carolyn (wife): The way that Carolyn is represented in this film is that she takes control in the house and she's the 'man of the house' she chooses the music as she makes the most of the effort in the house. With her choice of music this could mean that she misses the past and she wants to go back as that could mean that was when the times were better for her and her family. This could mean that she has a poor life and she's in despair. When she's at home it's as if she's acting and putting on a different persona and acting as everything is fine when it isn't. Jane(daughter): The way that Jane is represented in this film is that she isn't close with her parents, she doesn't talk to them what so ever. She is the typical teenager as she is always moody, she's ungrateful and is quick witted. Although in this Jane is more 'put together' than her parents and is more mature, for example in the scen

Teenagers spend 40 days a year looking at their mobile phones. In this article they use negative words about the teenagers, the most popular one is 'addictive' or 'addicted' and then that shortly follows with the word phone. probably the most positive word in the article is 'London came last with 37 days', this is the most positive word in the article as the rest is negative and saying how every teenager spends over 2 hours on their phone and that they're 'glued' to their phone. This article shows us what adults think about us and how much time we spend on our phones, these attitudes are not fair and they're not always true as no every teenager spends that much time on their phone and with this they are using one big stereotype that teenagers can't live without their phone and if they are without it then they have anxiety. I can tell that they've ranged this at all the teenagers instead of some of the teenagers. The pictu

Minecraft audiences

-
Who is the target audience here? The target audience is the younger generation of people, pre-teen to teens. How can you tell? You can tell by the way the game is set out and how simple it is. The dialogue is also very simple and the way that they have made their characters have a sense of humour and the types of jokes made.  How does this differ from other versions of Minecraft? The players can get involved in something that has already been created/made for them. Make a list of the different ways that people can play (and interact with) Minecraft. For each of these, suggest who the audiences might be with reasons to support Console, phone, tablet etc
