Here only one light is used, the key light that is placed at eye level next to the camera. It's not a bad look on these two good-looking young people. I think this one is first on our tutorial list because, as explained <a href="https://www.colesclassroom.com/what-is-flat-light-and-other-kinds-of-light-photographers-talk-about/">in this photography link</a>,<span style="font-family: arial;"><b> </b></span>"basically, flat lighting is lighting that produces very little contrast in your scene.

It is four to five feed to side of the subject's face at eye level. This can produce a dramatic and interesting effect. A key and back light can also be used to soften the shadows on the right side of Sharlene and Lawson's faces, but we just went with the one light to really capture the rather harsh lighting technique. <p></p><p style="text-align: center;"><b>BUTTERFLY OR HIGH FRONTAL LIGHTING</b></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgW8QTSzmRQ1EpIdWL6nxkQpPGw1kjTNKN9yFJ1fdWnuUx2fbgCNaJIq1mi2AvVZVsytgiYht76VfkxrdZHm9Sidn-8nY9M7Dpi5-AkrWXx4oRb0KyuRmvLrLfNXbP8P0U05YZuyzLd-bcVhWW4AAYM7fhKNa_LfOg4t1grAkaAXZtcR18jdJGzml4jZw/s4032/Butterfly%20Lawson.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgW8QTSzmRQ1EpIdWL6nxkQpPGw1kjTNKN9yFJ1fdWnuUx2fbgCNaJIq1mi2AvVZVsytgiYht76VfkxrdZHm9Sidn-8nY9M7Dpi5-AkrWXx4oRb0KyuRmvLrLfNXbP8P0U05YZuyzLd-bcVhWW4AAYM7fhKNa_LfOg4t1grAkaAXZtcR18jdJGzml4jZw/s320/Butterfly%20Lawson.jpg" width="240" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhX9_bhyvES9oAhfhGN20scrMLTKHc01AQ3hlWiwoJ9OvankLiXGnpuig5bvmweui6dDXP4kob9TB6ufz9R_8UV_QYbZjp01i_sJ784YStxBSjY-hVVz1UCM2MtivrOa-eDQEeelT6pk_Z6z8EIE61DlSWtNKtA_9GOnDgEeBXUf8HMdV2sRd6GUGri9g/s4032/Butterfly%20Sharlene.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhX9_bhyvES9oAhfhGN20scrMLTKHc01AQ3hlWiwoJ9OvankLiXGnpuig5bvmweui6dDXP4kob9TB6ufz9R_8UV_QYbZjp01i_sJ784YStxBSjY-hVVz1UCM2MtivrOa-eDQEeelT6pk_Z6z8EIE61DlSWtNKtA_9GOnDgEeBXUf8HMdV2sRd6GUGri9g/s320/Butterfly%20Sharlene.jpg" width="240" /></a></div><br />The idea with butterfly lighting is that it can create a buttefly-shaped shadow beneath the nose by placing a light near the subject's face pointing down from above. A second light is positioned on the opposite side of key or main light and a backlight can also be used. These secondary lights should be pulled back from the subject, diffused or use a less powerful bulb so their effects are subtle. <p></p><p><b style="text-align: center;"> REMBRANDT OR 45-DEGREE LIGHTING</b></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg6J4MTQUIOANjIPpXN421tRBMDxyYPWCJWZjG1lLm7gs2DB83JDZVjG81wSGwfL7N2746JXUkHq8u73qb6dxZQM-9ej2PEhMk8A4Q-0GogoVArOgH4ajryW_Veg2H67SzYS-YIDWsYzkAqdiADxUjnWtOFkYS3aqvP8LG6G5JNiwN0L-hiM4zgxsQ5oA/s4032/Rembrandt%20Lawson.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg6J4MTQUIOANjIPpXN421tRBMDxyYPWCJWZjG1lLm7gs2DB83JDZVjG81wSGwfL7N2746JXUkHq8u73qb6dxZQM-9ej2PEhMk8A4Q-0GogoVArOgH4ajryW_Veg2H67SzYS-YIDWsYzkAqdiADxUjnWtOFkYS3aqvP8LG6G5JNiwN0L-hiM4zgxsQ5oA/s320/Rembrandt%20Lawson.jpg" width="240" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj1icqQiGriz6ngv63Q0rUFy3JVReV3jGDdqYii5HCu_occQP1spnVM7XC7BxVpgozCWYM7I0ZRFBKQHR_N-9LZoEPyYQdja_KtR03w-C3Kde6Ey1aWrSS72AAVeYBU6fvAov3vdDXTby5GbRk_t4Ene11zpeLbfV6Emm5dTpaeVPlbY3jadyUjp1tpaA/s4032/Rembrandt%20Sharlene.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj1icqQiGriz6ngv63Q0rUFy3JVReV3jGDdqYii5HCu_occQP1spnVM7XC7BxVpgozCWYM7I0ZRFBKQHR_N-9LZoEPyYQdja_KtR03w-C3Kde6Ey1aWrSS72AAVeYBU6fvAov3vdDXTby5GbRk_t4Ene11zpeLbfV6Emm5dTpaeVPlbY3jadyUjp1tpaA/s320/Rembrandt%20Sharlene.jpg" width="240" /></a><br /><br /></div>This method is named for the <a href="https://www.sothebys.com/en/articles/21-facts-about-rembrandt#:~:text=Rembrandt%20was%20born%20Rembrant%20Harmenszoon,hometown%20near%20the%20Rhine%20River.">famed Dutch painter</a> from the 17th century. Rembrandt's work was known for having a bit of a triangular shadow on one side of his portrait subject's face. The key light is placed at a 45-degree downward angle in relation to the subject's face, and 45-degrees to the side of the subject. You can see a small shadow triangle on the right side of Lawson and Sharlene's noses. It's subtle so you have to look carefully. A fill light is to the left of the subject and is pulled back seven or eight feet. A backlight behind our models creates a bit of a halo or rim effect. <p></p><p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oJPv5Uqc5Ko">This video </a>helps us better understand the differences between Rembrandt and butterfly lighting. </p><p style="text-align: left;"><b style="text-align: center;"> SCARY FACE LIGHTING</b></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjP2d30JYxJByWVav_K5hPshSkSzbpj-L_XJtUTFLXC1gusiQOo15IoBk221vmg34U0k0JRSafCCn3VeEZqL7U8ig635GbuI5pJUYBL2BMuzQkuNmojZ4_QTvd5_ddW0GyXkAp2kBf2zgDbt_phrO2yLyCtUOp99CHAXcjGxu3egWyP38rP5kQtGd4g0g/s4032/Scary%20Lawson.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjP2d30JYxJByWVav_K5hPshSkSzbpj-L_XJtUTFLXC1gusiQOo15IoBk221vmg34U0k0JRSafCCn3VeEZqL7U8ig635GbuI5pJUYBL2BMuzQkuNmojZ4_QTvd5_ddW0GyXkAp2kBf2zgDbt_phrO2yLyCtUOp99CHAXcjGxu3egWyP38rP5kQtGd4g0g/s320/Scary%20Lawson.jpg" width="240" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiQ-xbSzkq9rVJRyM8c4Hq1F3t1Mo0LrwHaIC5L4Yg3zxtkS5i4Pn5zIiny6DgmKzWhFU_yWGySP9j0TDABQAwCiVxWuG4oYW-6b_A1Sb9bKTS1nlREjOTW_WqcO_Qvk-s8Z8-D3bx5hCuxjVQxUWmyL0PORZvy84Zploeh26wyiZIZOSriFnXrwBzpsA/s4032/Scary%20Sharlene.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiQ-xbSzkq9rVJRyM8c4Hq1F3t1Mo0LrwHaIC5L4Yg3zxtkS5i4Pn5zIiny6DgmKzWhFU_yWGySP9j0TDABQAwCiVxWuG4oYW-6b_A1Sb9bKTS1nlREjOTW_WqcO_Qvk-s8Z8-D3bx5hCuxjVQxUWmyL0PORZvy84Zploeh26wyiZIZOSriFnXrwBzpsA/s320/Scary%20Sharlene.jpg" width="240" /></a><br /><br /></div>Lastly, here we turned off all the lights in the room and the students used a flashlight such as the one on their phones to cast a small amount of light under their chins. I told the students when all of their blog posts for this assignment are completed that we will have a "scary face" contest. That should be fun and funny! Amauri Allen gives us a "trying to scare someone" face as opposed to a "being scared" face, I think. <p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgHe3BGXb4c7sguN-I1NR7oRV4NJYvE7JY0AjzLPjqbdAO6PXVcvXQHmjsFGiVPYUlkETYMpUsJtdcFykyMZZvx3eBQFs4E9gmkRTiu6OLTT36GUzxfcpadrs7cgA5dC-UgxFmscTpnSuEh4TI5C-6BX_jKczSONck8v-n6TqvI2bPaK6M3j4Rkaqx9mQ/s4032/Amauri%20and%20Juan%20Scary.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3024" data-original-width="4032" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgHe3BGXb4c7sguN-I1NR7oRV4NJYvE7JY0AjzLPjqbdAO6PXVcvXQHmjsFGiVPYUlkETYMpUsJtdcFykyMZZvx3eBQFs4E9gmkRTiu6OLTT36GUzxfcpadrs7cgA5dC-UgxFmscTpnSuEh4TI5C-6BX_jKczSONck8v-n6TqvI2bPaK6M3j4Rkaqx9mQ/w400-h300/Amauri%20and%20Juan%20Scary.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br /><p><br /></p><p><b style="text-align: center;"><br /></b></p>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4572724330150275592.post-91925948431242953382022-11-09T12:26:00.006-08:002023-12-05T09:55:09.451-08:00Delighting with Three-Point Lighting! <p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhIDvNtV_jdERziQpQ-rkSAoUqwUzog7v9j8z4TGUUa59vSI-GijOPQgqFi73vM2NQ0cNCILcxxCmH-r98pEHXXWkfSn93j5yD7NLStAUVk0XoPeVozHO3OkMgTcfTDAfhLiEHr8_2AoDuCyTAhacUKEGMlCHgICPTEwrS0bb-7gu48inaJzu_Ul-mQdg/s4032/IMG-8490.jpg" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3024" data-original-width="4032" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhIDvNtV_jdERziQpQ-rkSAoUqwUzog7v9j8z4TGUUa59vSI-GijOPQgqFi73vM2NQ0cNCILcxxCmH-r98pEHXXWkfSn93j5yD7NLStAUVk0XoPeVozHO3OkMgTcfTDAfhLiEHr8_2AoDuCyTAhacUKEGMlCHgICPTEwrS0bb-7gu48inaJzu_Ul-mQdg/w400-h300/IMG-8490.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br />In my television production class at <a href="http://www.scsu.edu">SC State University</a>, we are spending a few weeks on lighting.

In it, a student videotapes a classmate leaving or entering the classroom. There needs to be at least 10 shots of the subject entering and leaving the camera frame. I feel the project is instructive in terms of videography, directing and editing. I ask that music be included in the finished product along with an opening and closing slate or title and credits. </p><p>As a demonstration, I shot this piece with communications major <a href="https://moreaboutamauri.blogspot.com/">Amauri Allen</a>.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><iframe allowfullscreen="" class="BLOG_video_class" height="266" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/vWsHYcjwa5U" width="320" youtube-src-id="vWsHYcjwa5U"></iframe></div><br /><p>The music is catchy right?

(near Allendale). He's a musical guy and is a member of the prestigious <a href="https://www.sinfonia.org/about/">Phi Mu Alpha fraternity</a>, "the world's oldest and largest secret national fraternal society in music," according to its website. The SC State chapter is called Nu Iota SC State. <br /><br />On this day Ben is wearing a Phi Mu Alpha shirt and he says the harp on his facemask is a symbol of his fraternity. Ben is in SC State's band, <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Marching_101">The Marching 101</a>. His instrument is the euphonium. I have never heard of that, so asked Ben what it is.

"It's sort of like a fat trumpet." <div><br /><a href="https://soundcloud.com/user-558539234/benjamin-gadson-mask?si=5c88c4d57c1a4c8e945c61a6b4c20949&utm_source=clipboard&utm_medium=text&utm_campaign=social_sharing#t=0:12">Click here</a> for Ben's comments about his special musical mask. </div><div><br /></div><div><div><br /></div><span><a name='more'></a></span><div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEjuItyJIcQOQa3VzVsRXIm-tU-moeekTEaVy5BEn-vsUWyPxD-LLeH1cGh9cfEDYQi9RWHHd2XfZpm-2dYNnp6qEqDnx7uYNg9TaUom50CxxN_H7lv6I0A_GNz2Fqo-sZ56fpNKnu5yddTDXV97hk0r_JOFMLahfhLtWGDcrNPdwwgcPGl2EjjOhTv17w=s2152" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2152" data-original-width="1665" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEjuItyJIcQOQa3VzVsRXIm-tU-moeekTEaVy5BEn-vsUWyPxD-LLeH1cGh9cfEDYQi9RWHHd2XfZpm-2dYNnp6qEqDnx7uYNg9TaUom50CxxN_H7lv6I0A_GNz2Fqo-sZ56fpNKnu5yddTDXV97hk0r_JOFMLahfhLtWGDcrNPdwwgcPGl2EjjOhTv17w=s320" width="248" /></a></div><div>Yours truly, Patrick Harwood, daily dons a mask I really like.

In class, we will use <a href="https://www.pcmag.com/reviews/adobe-audition-cc">Adobe Audition</a> for production purposes. But we will use Soundcloud for this mask posting project. </p><p>I did find a way in Soundcloud to edit the interview with Ben Gadson. See the image. Here's how: after bringing the full interview into Soundcloud, go to Share then play the clip to where you want it to begin. Check the plus box at the bottom of this image, then pause the clip where you want it to begin. </p><p>So what I did was edit out my asking Ben's name and spelling of it, and my question. That is all I wanted to do and Soundcloud enabled me to do so. </p></div></div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4572724330150275592.post-43353528716928162232021-02-12T08:10:00.008-08:002022-02-08T05:25:57.253-08:00Soundbite Selection From Ellen Zisholtz Bowling Alley Restoration Interview <p> </p><table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="float: right;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiv42ZMAFlufzC8xS7RDEtq8RriLVvVAMx6XgSzdEye7a7i8KHYM0998vnGG9U77SO5JEmPSrc4clzMZBQ8lOqENrpKBc6jHiwa0ShkJtSKHQm-0eFPEqmGfaXf2StEQ3IDStFvjbiSrS6m/s1200/Ellen+PC+Article.jpg" style="clear: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="800" data-original-width="1200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiv42ZMAFlufzC8xS7RDEtq8RriLVvVAMx6XgSzdEye7a7i8KHYM0998vnGG9U77SO5JEmPSrc4clzMZBQ8lOqENrpKBc6jHiwa0ShkJtSKHQm-0eFPEqmGfaXf2StEQ3IDStFvjbiSrS6m/s320/Ellen+PC+Article.jpg" width="320" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Ellen Zisholtz inside the old bowling alley<br />(Photos courtesy Charleston Post and Courier)</td></tr></tbody></table>An important future may be in store for an old bowling alley in Orangeburg that was pivotal in the tragic day in 1968 that became known as the <a href="https://www.history.com/topics/1960s/orangeburg-massacre">Orangeburg Massacre</a>. <p></p><p>The long-closed All Star Triangle lanes on Russell Street will have a bright future if former SC State museum director Ellen Zisholtz (pictured) has her way.

At the time I wanted to get the bowling alley and make it part of what I was doing at SC State because we were an African American museum. I was on the national museum of the African American museums and I really thought we could save it and make it part of SC State.

It is <a href="https://www.stokesmazdausa.com/">Stokes Mazda</a> on Ashley Phosphate Road in North Charleston. This is where I bought a new car, a Mazda 6, in October 2014.

I will also check Instagram and Pinterest to see if and what kind of presence Stokes Mazda has on those platforms.

I would say this Facebook site is very well developed and comprehensive, having everything from store hours and a map showing how to get there to a link to the current used car inventory and a video link that is well stocked with mostly corporate videos but some local Stokes Mazda ones too, including this <a href="https://www.facebook.com/443666785766420/videos/226894708230985">one of a salesman swinging a golf club</a>, saying it's not all work at the dealership. The new posts look to be frequent, with several over the past week. A "pinned post" at the top is about a $100 gift card drawing, which has drawn a dozen entries and nine shares as of today's date (Oct. 28). </div><div><br /></div><div><u>Numbers of Likes and Followers</u>: It looks like just more than 1,800 (1,803) people have "liked" this Facebook site and that it has 1,866 people follow it. </div><div><br /></div><div><u>Improvement Suggestions</u>: I would say a lot of thought and attention goes into this Facebook site. It has just about everything you could want to find out. I like the gift card contest. I might suggest more such interactive contests and giveaways. The dealership's Instagram site has many photos of customers and the cars they bought here. Such images, showing new and used car sales and happy faces of owners, could be used more on the Facebook site. </div><div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEidgcNRm183l0gH95Q_N1E3iHhViDCDWZq6SkLD7at3PuVR2fGISaHZ3TpBQ2HXIUMX-iKA9ORAboCO7EDGCylFi_NhE9GmME2AUYL_7C6s6Un5fILmDqjUOm-oJNx0YQU9gppbcnchcxN9/s1308/Twitter+Stokes+Mazda.JPG" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="619" data-original-width="1308" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEidgcNRm183l0gH95Q_N1E3iHhViDCDWZq6SkLD7at3PuVR2fGISaHZ3TpBQ2HXIUMX-iKA9ORAboCO7EDGCylFi_NhE9GmME2AUYL_7C6s6Un5fILmDqjUOm-oJNx0YQU9gppbcnchcxN9/s320/Twitter+Stokes+Mazda.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><a href="https://twitter.com/StokesMazda">TWITTER </a> (@StokesMazda) <div><br /></div><div><u>First Impressions</u>: The number of Twitter followers is not impressive; there has not been a tweet since April 2017 (maybe that's why). Have they forgotten about Twitter? </div><div><br /></div><div><u>Number of Followers</u>: 314; 214 tweets</div><div><br /></div><div><u>Improvement Suggestions</u>: Get busy and add Twitter to your social media mix Stokes Mazda! Twitter can be considered the "first responder" of social media. It where many people learn of news, especially breaking news, on a daily basis. Twitter could be used for a "Car of the Day" (new or used). Visuals are important so include photos. Be aware of approaching holidays and special days and tie in with them whether it's Election Day, Halloween, Thanksgiving, or Christmas. Use Twitter to promote special sales and events, just as you would Facebook. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhf-bZlh0rDPND3Eexxs1YW31_SQsCWD2R5tqC5gV2JhRbtQjwYnJTQXOja1KiTNJAl-c85N0DRbJLzViRjYFO7z0nwXfoOdDJqeVqoJOpEreHzd27yZFv_7PKyJi-03yeF2Nqm8eVX6eNr/s1335/YouTube+Stokes+Mazda.JPG" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="611" data-original-width="1335" height="146" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhf-bZlh0rDPND3Eexxs1YW31_SQsCWD2R5tqC5gV2JhRbtQjwYnJTQXOja1KiTNJAl-c85N0DRbJLzViRjYFO7z0nwXfoOdDJqeVqoJOpEreHzd27yZFv_7PKyJi-03yeF2Nqm8eVX6eNr/w320-h146/YouTube+Stokes+Mazda.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><br /><div><a href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC4PLhxUgechzm7XSb7FBF_g">YOUTUBE </a><br /><div><br /></div><div><u>First Impressions:</u> YouTube also seems to be neglected by Stokes Mazda. There has not been a post since 2017. The golf video at the top is good, unexpected, but it's good to show Stokes supports local causes. There is also, as you scroll down, a section on Fort Dorchester High School football. Stokes, back in 2016 and 2017, sponsored a Fort D. football coach show. Cool! Also, the subject categories of videos here are well organized, such as "Test Cars and Reviews," "Promo Commercials," and "Meet the Team." This last one is especially good I feel, as it personalizes the staff. But all these videos are several years old, so new content needs to be added periodically. </div><div><br /></div><div><u>Number of Subscribers:</u> 186 (seems low) </div><div><br /></div><div><u>Improvement Suggestions</u>: Videos are more involved to produce and post, especially high-quality ones that this dealership, I'm sure, would want and expect. Maybe once a year or twice even a freelance video producer could be brought in to shoot, edit, produce and post several new, fresh videos for this YouTube channel. The "Meet the Staff" ones need to stay current. There could be some videos of sales reps showing and talking about new cars, and used ones too. There could be some expertise videos too. I have gone to YouTube a number of times to find out how to do something to my car. And I've found car dealership professionals who show how to do things, such as changing the cabin filter yourself or removing the part covering the car battery in my wife's Acura SUV. </div><div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhRW4t0cY7CEwZ7LjhSUYQm3EinnqL8pkpySgM5EQddasvuMRr52wMxILJbviAr4Tua4q5dItYj0yEJyEnE61l_uu68tieE2aVnJeZnMlwymfhXFkOTyZugH5USptSdhz_WUdntvsiX1iro/s1175/Instagram.JPG" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="618" data-original-width="1175" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhRW4t0cY7CEwZ7LjhSUYQm3EinnqL8pkpySgM5EQddasvuMRr52wMxILJbviAr4Tua4q5dItYj0yEJyEnE61l_uu68tieE2aVnJeZnMlwymfhXFkOTyZugH5USptSdhz_WUdntvsiX1iro/s320/Instagram.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><br /><div><a href="https://www.instagram.com/explore/locations/443666785766420/stokes-mazda-superstore/?hl=en">INSTAGRAM </a></div><div><div><br /></div><div><div><u>First Impressions:</u> Why there is not an Instagram link on the Stokes' website is a mystery. There really should be, because IG is effectively used here. There are many photos of happy people with their new cars. </div><div><br /></div><div><u>Number of Followers</u>: No number is visible </div><div><br /></div><div><u>Improvement Suggestions:</u> I get the sense that Instagram may be neglected but it certainly should not be. The site is missing some of the data usually seen at the top such as a nice photograph, the number of posts and followers. There can also be a link to the homepage, the address and phone number too. </div><div>It's easy to take pictures and post them on IG. It looks like a Stokes sales rep named Riley does some posts here, but most are from customers. This should be encouraged so have wording at the top saying folks can submit photos, and have more sales reps taking photos of happy customers with their new cars. And please add the IG icon to the top of the website with Facebook, Twitter and YouTube. Instagram's popularity has grown tremendously during the was five years. </div><div><br /></div><div>PINTEREST (NO SITE FOUND) </div><div><br /></div><div>Stokes Mazda apparently has no official Pinterest site. <a href="https://www.pinterest.com/stokeskia/_saved/">Stokes Kia, on the other hand, does</a>. Folks at Stokes Mazda should take a look at the Kia site because, to me, it seems very well organized with numerous "boards" covering a variety of topics. They include "Car Advice," "I Love Goose Creek," and boards on individual car makes and models. The Stokes Kia Pinterest site only has 18 followers so it may not be cultivated much there. It has 185 total pins, which is a good number. It is not clear when things are pinned so it's unclear if new content is added regularly. </div><div><br /></div><div>Pinterest sites are easy to set up and easy to "pin" things already online by subject category. Stokes Mazda could start out by thinking up five or six topic categories or "boards" and start pinning appropriate news and other items. One board, or three really, could be "Things to Do and See in Charleston" as well as North Charleston and Summerville. </div><div><br /></div><div>FINAL THOUGHTS</div><div><br /></div><div>There's a lot of good in Stokes Mazda's social media presence. But some parts should be given more attention, especially YouTube, Instagram and Pinterest. Perhaps the dealership or its ownership group should hire a local (not national) social media company or person with expertise to come in, consult and make improvements, make it all more current and up to date with regular, systematic postings of content across all social media platforms. </div><div><br /></div><div>It's all about engagement in social media so develop and flesh out content that will click with people and make them want to click back, share your content. More sales and money will surely follow! <br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div></div></div></div></div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4572724330150275592.post-50731575455728852242020-08-20T04:46:00.021-07:002023-02-22T11:13:23.035-08:00Finding Feature Lead Examples Assignment In my Feature/Magazine Writing class (Jour 360) I have given the students an assignment to find examples of feature leads from newspapers, magazines, online news sources, etc.<br />
