Episode 2 viewing figures

10 Minutes after the release of episode 2, we had scored 45 views. 4 hours after announcing it, that had doubled to 90. 2 Days after announcing it, that had doubled to about 180 views. At 5pm on Sunday, we have gathered almost 200 views. This was quite frankly disappointing. By the 3rd day of episode 1, we had accumulated nearly 400 views, so for that to drop to 180 is bad. I don't know why this happened, as far as i'm aware, we advertised it the same, using the same social networking sites, the same events and notifications on FaceBook, we also put up posters around school to let more people know about it.

My first thought could be that people watched the first episode and didn't think it was good/funny enough to continue watching. This theory seems to be confirmed on the event lists, wsaid no and a hundred or so more ignored the hich was frankly disappointing. This time round, we invited hundreds of people, only 38 of them confirmed to watch the episode, well over 100 thing completely. One comment i have seen multiple times, is that the voices were too quiet.

I watched the video while it was being edited, and you could hear everything fine. On YouTube, however, i agree that some voice part are much, much clearer than others, and some you really have to strain to hear properly. This might have been one of the reasons we weren't getting as many hits as we would like, because now any word of mouth advertising is just 'Yeah, it's alright - you just can't hear anything'. This is a real problem that we have to get sorted for episode 3. I don't think this will be some much of a problem, as we changed microphone and played with the settings to get a clearer sound, which i believe is why some sound bytes in episode 2 are much clearer. Hopefully this will sort out some of our problems. I hope that our video will get more hits, and that the problems we have encountered so far will not push our remaining fans further away. Hopefully when the audio is finally sorted, people will watch it again. I just wish we could re-record all the voices and sound for the first 2 episodes using the different mic.
