In regards to what I hope to create in this studio, I don’t have one particular aim but instead, an abundance. The reason being that social media is not consumed in one way for all. I have discovered through seeing the results from the Sensis survey that whether you’re a business, a teenager or an adult, your views on the capabilities of social media differ. I think from that, everyone has a social media comfort zone. For example, I choose who I want to follow and I don’t often stray away from that content. But, if rather than being a consumer of social media I were to take the role of content author (which I will in this studio) then I need to think of ways to get people out of their comfort zone in order for them to see what I publish. This is no easy task as habits are strong and competition is those with millions of followers like the Dolan twins. 

In recognising that social media is saturated with content, I do question the shelf life of what we see. For example, I scroll through my Instagram feed daily. Each day there is something new to focus on and the chances of me recalling what I see yesterday is slim. So if I can barely remember what I choose to interact with, how will I remember something I only come across once? In saying that, I would like to focus on the side of social media that promotes change for the better like the Dolan Twin’s documentary. I find that social media is being used more and more to start positive trends and I think that this is the kind of content people will remember. So whilst I don’t quite know exactly what form this content will take, I do know that I want to take advantage of social media’s power to connect people.
