The magazine article is now completed.

I have used a YouTube style colour scheme so that readers of the "Radio Times" article will be drawn to the article and know what it is about.
The layout has pretty much remained the same as the draft.

YouTube: Career choice or hobby?

State where and when? : Monday 26^th January Channel 4, 10.30 pm

Over the past decade, YouTube has become an extremely popular choice of entertainment being viewed for various reasons such as sports, gaming, music and short films. 3 up and coming producers bring us a fantastic documentary that looks into a constantly asked question whether YouTube is a popular career choice or only a hobby that you can make money off in the meantime.

Elizabeth Anderson from the Telegraph sat down with the 3 filmmakers; Arun Dey, Chloe Henry and Rory Oakley as we find out what was it about YouTube that caught their interest.

Elizabeth: Afternoon guys so how did

All 3 of you come together for this project?

Arun: Well we were put in the same group for

Media and initially worked very well together so when

It came to gathering a team for a documentary it was

only natural that we came together.

Elizabeth: So how did the topic of YouTube come up?

Chloe: Well it’s a popular website that many people use it’s an interesting topic that would be deemed enjoyable for most people

And also people who may not use YouTube or don’t know much about it would definitely learn a lot of things about YouTube and would be very tempted to start using the website for the various reasons we state in the documentary.

Elizabeth: Any familiar faces featured in

The documentary?

Rory: Yes we have two YouTuber’s named Elise Hollins and Charlotte Whitsey, Charlotte specializes in costume play and Elise specializes in daily vlogs. As well as this we interviewed Julie Maitland and asked for her verdict on the topic, she gave us a great interview.

Elizabeth: Does the documentary make you look at YouTube in a different way now?

Arun: Yes most definitely you don’t realize how much effort YouTubers put into their videos it’s something that takes a lot of time and patients. Also it’s shown us all that YouTube is website which carries multiple purposes and that truly is a great thing; it makes life so much easier.

Elizabeth: I can certainly agree with that. Is there any advice that you would give to up and coming YouTubers and people interested to get involved with video making?

Chloe: We would say you should deffo go for it. It’s a fun route of production and aswell as this it allows you to positively channel your creativity into something you love.

Elizabeth: And finally guys I have to ask this,YouTube positive career path or just a hobby

Chloe:I’m gonna say a hobby which can be

Other technical decisions include the range of clips that we've selected. These are the range of clips that are most relevant to the documentary.

YouTube Topics

YouTube blogs all take on different styles, for example;

Demonstrating how to use some software/online tool (like I do above),

How to make something (cooking, crafting, building, etc.),

How to repair or mend something (a car, DIY, clothes, etc.),

Hobbies (Gardening, painting, learning to play an instrument, etc.)

The style of the video depends upon the YouTuber, and what their interests are. The viewers of the blog also depend upon their interests, ie. gamers watching game blogs, make up tutorials for girls and even online teachers giving revision tips for students.
YouTube is amongst many media services which allow you to upload and share various media such as pictures and video.  Most services have additional social features such as profiles, commenting, etc. Videos can take different approaches, also. For example, rants, "how to's" and parody videos. Again, the approach a youtuber takes on depends entirely on their personal style, and how they best feel the video would benefit from various approaches.
