Social media 1

This week Bashy and I started to plan and create our social media pages: Twitter and Instagram. We took the research that all four of our group members had done on social media and decided it would be a good idea to create a timeline, in so we know the order in which we will post pictures/ videos, whether it be a post on a performance, selling tickets for a show, a selfie, notifying the audience when the album will drop etc... We decided to make around 40 ideas for our Instagram and twitter with around 20 posts each side of the album drop. We did this in a google docs so we could both edit it and filled in all 40 gaps. 

We took inspiration from our social media research by copying patterns in how the posts are structured. We thought it would be best to put an introduction to the band first, as this is an upcoming band and is therefore not well known. Secondly we noticed that in our research, there were announcements of the album/ single a few weeks before it is released to build up hype for when it is finally dropped. 

We also saw they thanked their fans for attending various concerts they were in, including virtual concerts. Finally, we noticed they included behind the scene videos from the music videos for their songs which we will also include among 'casual,' posts of them taking a selfie or messing around etc...

It is important that we create this timeline because moving forward we can start to draft the majority of the Instagram posts. It is best to draft because we do not have all of the pictures we need, which we will gather from the photoshoot we have on Wednesday from 1:00-1:30.
