My Media Use: Day 2

Today I spent comparatively little time online, as I helped a friend move house in the afternoon and then hung out with friends in the evening, giving me much less time to consume or create media during the day than I would normally have. I still found the time to do some things, though.

Facebook

I engaged in some light Facebook browsing.

  • Liked an AFLWomen’s video about Erin Phillips celebrating Adelaide’s premiership win with her parents. I’m a big fan of the AFLW and like a lot of their posts on social media
  • I shared a cute video of a corgi I came across in the Dogspotting group. My girlfriend is obsessed with corgis and so whenever I come across a video of one, I share it with her in Messenger
  • My RMIT studio’s group chat continued from yesterday

Letterboxd

On Saturday night my friends and I got together and watched The Room on a makeshift outdoor cinema set up in a backyard. I added the film to my diary on Letterboxd, and two of my friends wrote short reviews of the film, both of which I liked. This was a good way of keeping the communal viewing vibe going ever after I’d gone home. While I was on Letterboxd and reading through my timeline I added a few movies to my watchlist and liked a list created by someone else (“HBO Documentary Films”) in order to save it for later.
