On YouTube, I watched a video titled, "NIKE BASKETBALL: LEBRON RISE". This is a very well done video that is professional and promotional of both LeBron James and Nike. It is 1:33 in length so overall very short, but designed to be this way. This video makes good use of personal connection and attempts to persuade viewers to sympathize with James. Quite surprising for some of YouTube's videos, the quality of this one was outstanding, though it was done by professionals. But, with this great quality came patience. I had to try to watch the video 3 different times because it was not fully loaded. Waiting for the video to be ready was frustrating and annoying.
On Hulu, I watched a clip promoted on the homepage. It is a sneak peak into this week's episode of "Glee" and one of the songs that will be performed by the character Kurt. The video is titled, "Kurt's Teenage Dream". Upon opening the video, immediately an advertisement was shown for Lowes that lasted 15 seconds. The video began immediately afterwards. The video lasted 2:43 minutes, which is double the one from YouTube. Like the YouTube video, the quality of this was spectacular and I had no questions as to what I was looking at. It was professional and meant to be shown as such.
At the end of both videos, I was able to choose what to do next, whether to watch it again, some suggested videos and chances to share them. On Hulu, another advertisment for Lowe's appeared, larger than any other image on the screen. This did not happen on YouTube, however. From my experiences with both sites, I feel that YouTube is more about posting your own videos as opposed to Hulu where videos are posted from the professional world. Amateurs look to YouTube to broadcast information whereas Hulu information is broadcasted to you. Luckily the videos I chose were both of high quality and enabled me to have enjoyable viewing processes.
