Aims:

• Get started with a social media page
• Create a few initial posts to get started

In this blog I am going to start up a social media page which will be able to showcase the behind the scenes of the production in making a music video as well as showing more of the promotional methods that I want to use in order to attract audiences. This will in turn coincide with live performances and fan interactions as the social media page grows over time.

Firstly, I set up an account with a new username and began to follow the relevant people for this task. This enabled me to start the process of the social media project.

At the Beginning I added the Photo to the Profile picture, this is the same photo which is represented on the back of the Digipak and shows the two actors in my project as the front cover. There is also a reference to the Oasis profile picture, they have the two brothers at the centre of their studio pictures, I have the two girls/friends in the centre of my profile picture, this twist helps to reference Oasis as well as show my own adaptation. As for the rest of the opening, I have got a small Bio with links to tour dates and tickets as well as merch, and finally hinting at the new music video which is to be produced. This gets the audience excited and makes them want to follow along on the journey as they know that there is something interesting about to happen.

The main account to follow as they have given me ideas and different pointers on how to show similarities and references to their work throughout my social media.

Finally, this is the list of beginning followers/following, these are my peers and classmates who I have supported and will be supporting me during this project. Making sure to get valuable feedback from these people is vital in progressing and making sure that I can adapt and change things when i need, my peers have also been able to support different ideas which we are producing so that we can create something that’s not only powerful but also very much promotional and influential which will get people talking and increasing the brands recognition.

KEY TAKEAWAYS:

• Beginning the social Media page was relatively straight forward and easy to do, it also gives me ideas for the future and how i will adapt to create a product to the best of my ability.
• I know need to work at creating posts and stories that not only interact with the audience but promote as well.
• On the whole I’m looking forward to using the social media to promote the band and the rest of the production work.
