Social media: drafts and final text

This is a relatively easy text to produce, BUT you must ensure...

• you evidence thoroughly-illustrated and annotated/denoted research across multiple artists including your own
• as part of this you summarise findings from individual case studies (BOTH need to contribute individual research to all such conventions work before this joint summary) plus...
• identify specific + well-denoted key influences (all the above: same for conventions work for all 3 texts)
• you each produce an individual social
• the social name won't risk a takedown order, eg a nickname
• at least 20 posts
• posts are crucially demonstrating knowledge + understanding of industry + audience
• therefore the language, emojis, mode of address you use are crucial. You'll want good eg/s for the evaluation essay
• must include a viral/UGC concept, probably including a TikTok element (you can ask others to fake entries as fans; don't need TikTok account, you can present video as if from it)

Conventions/influences: social media

As before look at some general examples from a range of genres, noting what you observe to be COMMON conventions.

Then look more closely at your artist + genre examples for any particular conventions specific to this.

For all 3 texts though you can reasonably be influenced from examples well beyond your genre.

When you're blogging on conventions keep making links back to audience - how does the example you're looking at indicate a likely audience? What is the media language being used to achieve this - whether thats font style, mode of address, puns (intertextuality), interactivity, written language (case, informality etc), high/low key lighting ...

You could mimic (create a simulacrum of) some specific aspects of your chosen artist's social media style.

Another small tip ... consider naming the fans (eg Beliebers, Little Monsters - Bieber, Gaga).
