2. AUDIENCE FEEDBACK
• Through audience feedback I've learnt that the audiences opinion is
everything, I went through some of my topics with my peers and they
gave me different ideas to fix and add.
• One of them was the explanation of my topic which I had not gone into
depth with my spider diagrams they were unclear to others and needed
more of a focused topic.
• Another was they felt they did not really learn much from my
explanations so that was a major I needed to address.
• My peers helped me in my decision to come to the topic I have now.

• Allows phones and accounts to
• Gaines celebs popularity be hacked i.e. Scarlet Johansson
• Keeps their fans up to date with • Gives anyone the opportunity to

Way Is Essex’ Cast
• Gains people fame overnight for

Journalism’
• Allows celebs to address rumours
• Fake stories are published i.e.
Celebs relationships on the rocks

Audience Participation
• Though Web 2.0 (Facebook, Twitter,
Instagram...)
• All were created to give the public (audiences)
control and the freedom for expression and
keeps us connected
• Audience participation can build a persons
career over night or ruin it
i.e. Ella Henderson (X
Factor) over night
stardom after
audition. Next day all
over news papers
and social media
sites

12. RESEARCH TOPIC
• Peoples popularity is no longer just about talent but the look and if u
have that more people would buy into you (Boy bands)
• This is not always the cast
Boy bands appeal
Image was not the case for this to young girls
buzz as on the X Factor USA and which post their
overweight man sang his way in love all over social
the country’s hearts and in site and edits
seconds was trending in twitter pictures which
draws fans and
public

13. RESEARCH TOPIC
• This is also a way for fans to win
prizes and meet and greets with their
fellow star through advertising on
social networking sites
• Allowing fans to respond and spared
the word all over networking sites
feeding the celebs fan base
encouraging obsession
i.e. Meet and greet
with Demi Lovato
once posted online
would have been
seen by her
followers who
would spread the
news, ending up
with obsessed fans
camping out to see
her

14. RESEARCH TOPIC
• Loving fans would then make fan sites
or blogs dedicated to the celeb
covered in pictures, videos, links to
the celebs real or fake twitter,
facebook page or instagram
• This can also be a floor as it becomes
easy for fans to impersonate a celeb
and fabricate stories

second

16. RESEARCH TOPIC
Obsession
• Having unlimited access to celebs lives makes it easy to worship celebs
known as ‘ Celebrity Worship Syndrome’
• Syndrome refers to a set of abnormal / unusual set of symptoms
• 1st covered by James Champman (Daily Mail 2003)
• There are three types of classification :
1. Entertainment – Social : Fans who are attracted to a favourite celeb, they like
to talk about them with friends
2. Intense – Personal : Knowing more than the ordinary fan does i.e. The celebs
likes and dislikes which gives the fan something to relate with to the star
3. Borderline – Pathological : Fantasising, constantly thinking about the celeb
i.e. You thinking you would one day marry the celeb
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Celebrity_worship_syndrome
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-176674/Do-Celebrity-Worship-Syndrome.html

17. RESEARCH TOPIC
• With the classification it would seen that most if not all fans would fall
under ‘Intense – Personal’ or ‘Borderline – Pathological’ if not both
• We see these kind of obsession as the norm until some fan begins to
stalk in person and make public declarations of their love for the celeb
i.e. Miley Cyrus
She gained a stalker that went to her house
with a pair of scissors in order to attack her
fiancé
This obsessed fan in his head
was in a relationship with Miley
Cyrus

18. RESEARCH TOPIC
POSITIVES N E G AT I V E S
