As we start thinking about what we are planning to do for our second assignment, I honestly felt a little lost as to what question I want to find the answers to. The assignment prompt is rather vague which means we could go about it in different ways – podcasts, video, Instagram post, and many more. Since I do make videos on YouTube, I was actually contemplating whether I want to make a video or not. However, I don’t think the videos I am used to making are academically suitable which is why I am considering other options.

We had a zoom class meeting earlier this week where we all shared our ideas and hearing everyone else’s approach definitely made me more inspired. In the meeting, a question was brought up about whether we are allowed to not actually put the idea into action, making it as more of a research project than a practical project. Although making prototypes were initially on my mind, I have decided not to as I would like to gain as much knowledge as I can from this assignment.

In the meantime, I am leaning towards finding out how do businesses use social media to attract consumers and maintain their consumer-business relationship. I will undoubtedly try to make use of the business tools provided by the social media platforms and create my posts based on the Sensis survey reports. Perhaps I might also do a quick survey on my personal social media accounts for more research.
