To discover the features within best man speeches I had to take transcripts from YouTube clips. I decided to use the first two minutes from when the dialogue begins from four best man speeches. This way I would have enough data to show patterns and similarities in the speeches.
Best man speeches tend to be at a length of around ten minutes. I wanted to compare features within different speeches so decided to take only the first two minutes which narrows down my data allowing a more detailed analysis of the first part of the speech.
To make sure that the speeches I looked at were considered to be good by a wide audience I looked at the number of views, likes and dislikes a video had; only choosing videos which were widely liked with the most views. I made sure that the speeches where dialogue based as some of the videos which were widely liked and viewed had other reasons other than the dialogue for being liked such as dance sequences.
Your plans and ideas sound fine so far.
