My First Contest!
Okay, I've entered my first contest! I browsed through the entries to get a feel for it first. The most viewed video was one entitled something like "The Home of My Dreams". It had about double the number of views as the #2 video. I was guessing that it was some fancy house with high end appliances. But it was actually a slideshow of cracks in this guy's grout. O-k-a-y. The #2 video was a slideshow of a cat doing mundane cat things like sleeping. The majority of the rest were about kids and travel but most of them didn't get many hits.
Since the titles and the photo were the only things you had to go on to select a video to watch, I figured the audience is interested in dream homes. So mine is entitled "My Dream Home." :-)
I equate this contest entry to a writing exercise: who's my audience and how do they want to be entertained? My guess was middle-aged to older women who are into cats and homes. I'm anti-cat so I had no photos of those fluffy things... but I did have a few shots of a house...
So here it is, MY DREAM HOME! Watch it and weep, my sappy friends! :-)
