Research Activity 3 – Long form TV drama and fandom
The term ‘fan’ is believed to come from the term ‘fanatic’
and refers to an audience member who has an intense enthusiasm and, often, an
uncritical devotion to a product, person or activity.
There are many ways in which a fan of a long form TV drama
can express their enthusiasm and interest for the show. Continuing developments
in technology have enabled the distribution and sharing of fan-made materials
and the development of fan made communities.
For the Long Form TV Drama unit, you are required to
demonstrate knowledge and understanding of fandom and fans’ responses to the
set products you have chosen to study.
Task
In order to find out how fans are targeted, how they
interpret content from the drama and how they make meaning across different
platforms, you will complete a short research activity into the fans of your
chosen set products.
To complete this task successfully you will:
1.
Go online and search for a variety of fan made
materials. Sites which may help you find fan made materials include:
·
the official social media accounts for the set
products
·
fan-made social media accounts for the set
products.
2.
Select three different fan-made products for Stranger
Things and complete the grid below.
3. Present your research findings in a visual format. You will need to take screenshots and embed the links to the fan made materials you have found into your visual document
