Today marks the seventh day and last day of analysing my media consumption.

I started my day off with a big cup of coffee while watching VOGUE videos on Youtube. I then administered my daily routine of sending my streaks on Snapchat. As I did this I also checked and replied to messages on Messenger, Go through my Instagram and Facebook newsfeed while replying to tags with comments. Then I hopped into the shower and listened to my playlist on Soundcloud on my speaker.

After this I decided I needed to stop my chill sesh and actually get some real work done. I went on my laptop and started doing my readings for Media 1 found on the media factory website and on the home tab widget readings. I then wrote a blog post on my blog in the media one category  about the reading. I also checked the assessment for Media 1 (PB3) on the media factory website on the home tab widget assessment to check to see what equipment I needed to shoot the assignment. I then checked my student emails on Gmail.

After I completed all my work, I walked down to my boyfriends house to visit the sick soul. I walked listening to my playlist on Soundcloud. When I got there I watched a movie with him on Youtube. I didn’t stay for that long though as I had to go to Work.

Work finished at 7pm. When I got home I made myself dinner and went on Pinterest as I ate. Looking through the Pins that had come up on my feed and pinning the pins I liked onto my own categorised boards on my account. Afterwards I got on my laptop again and wrote this blog post.

So that was all the media I had consumed for today. As you can see I used media in many different ways:

• to communicate with friends
• to escape boredom through entertainment
• to do my university work
• to interact with my friends and the rest of the world

Today marks the sixth day of analysing my media consumption.

I didn’t use much media today AGAIN so unfortunately don’t have much to talk about again!!! I woke up early again (sigh with rolled eyes) and listened to my playlist on Soundcloud as I got ready for mass and of course sent my snapchat streaks (same old, same old). After mass I went straight to work. I worked until 2pm.

When I got home from work I made myself a smoothie for lunch as I listened to my Soundcloud tunes on my speaker. Then as I drank my smoothie I watched some VOGUE Youtube videos and scrolled through Instagram and Facebook. I then made a care package for my boyfriend as he’s now very sick after last night 🙁 I made a box full of his favourite foods, my favourite book I’ve been wanting him to read (Rebecca by Daphne Du Maurier)  and wrote him a list of things we are going to do together when he gets better (does this count as media?)I then walked to his house to deliver the package and I stayed for a bit and we watched a movie on Youtube together.

Then I went home and made dinner with the fam. Looking up a new salad idea on Pinterest. We cooked together while listening to Apple music. Then after dinner I read a magazine (SHOP), then I went on my laptop and typed up this blog post on my blog!

So that was all the media I had consumed for today. As you can see I used media in many different ways:

Today marks the fifth day of analysing my media consumption.

I didn’t use much media today compared to the other days because I was so busy.

I woke up bright and early at 8am. Sent my snapchat streaks (a bit earlier than usual hahaha) My boyfriend and his family picked me up at 8:30 am to take me to see his first footy game of the season. After this I was dropped off home and went straight to work until 5:30pm.

When I got home from work, I got ready for an 18th house party I had later that night. I ate my dinner while watching Gilmore girls clips on Youtube. Then as I showered, did my hair and makeup I listened to my Soundcloud playlist on my speaker. My boyfriend then came to my house and we ubered to the party together. But before we ubered we checked the party’s address on the Facebook event the birthday girl had created and we had been invited to.

When I got to the party I was surrounded with media. There were photographers taking pictures of everyone and there was also a DJ playing the bangers 😛 The hostesses family were also filming majority of the event on video recording cameras. Whereas the rest of the guests were taking Snapchats on their phones, myself included. I took a photo of the birthday girl with her cake and added this to my Snapchat story. As the party began to die down, my boyfriend was starting to get sick and tired, I wanted to get home to bed because I needed to sleep. So we left the party and ubered to my house and then my boyfriend went to his house.

As I got ready for bed I went on iTunes and into the iTunes store to listen to the new songs that were on the top chart. Then got on my laptop to quickly write up this blog post on my blog. Then went to bed (best feeling after a long day! )

So that was all the media I had consumed for today. As you can see I used media in many different ways:

• to escape boredom through entertainment
• to find out things
• to get to places
• to document things
• to do my university work

Today marks the fourth day of analysing my media consumption.

So this morning I woke up late and eased into my day with a shower and a nice cup of coffee. I scrolled through my Instagram, Facebook newsfeed to see what my friends had posted and the other accounts I follow. I liked the pictures I found appealing. I also did my Snapchat streaks 😛

Then the morning turned into a disaster. I was listening to my playlist on Soundcloud when I saw the bus approaching and made a run for it. When I got onto the bus I realised my music had stopped playing, I checked and my earphones had unplugged from my phone. Then it got worse, I couldn’t find my phone. I got off the bus, realising it must of dropped when I was running for the bus. So I ran all the way back to where I got on the bus and there my phone was (THANK GOD!!!!). I got on the bus again and went on Messenger to let my boyfriend who I was going to visit that I was on my way  and what had just happened. However this made me miss my stop. I got off the bus annoyed at my distracted self and ran all the way to his house, with my Soundcloud music blaring in my ear.

When I got to his house we watched a movie together on Youtube. Then we decided we were in the mood to bake. So we went on google and searched a healthy chocolate chip, peanut butter oat cookies recipe. Successfully we followed the recipe and our cookies were amazing. However there was a lot left over to clean. So he played some music off apple music for us as we cleaned.

When I got home I watched some TVD clips off Youtube and then checked my student emails. Then obviously I went on my blog and started writing this blog post 🙂

So that was all the media I had consumed for today. As you can see I used media in many different ways:

• to communicate with my friends
• to escape boredom through entertainment
• to keep up to date with friends and the rest of the world
• to do my university work

Today marks the third day of analysing my media consumption.

I started my day with my usual morning walk to UNI with my boyfriend. We always carry my speaker with us that way we can both listen to music as we walk without the annoying drag of sharing headphones. We listened to music off Soundcloud. Listening to my ‘rap’ playlist and liking songs from artists we like such as Xavier Wulf and Bones, adding some of their tracks into this playlist. We were running late however to class so we had to tram half of the way. We checked tram tracker on my phone to see what time the 109 was coming.

When I got to UNI I sent my snap chat streaks and then did some blogging on my blog before class started. I also watched a TVD video on  Youtube as I’m a huge TVD fan. In my media 1 class, I went on my laptop to check my student emails, updated my blog and then checked my google drive to see if I submitted my assessment correctly.

We got let out of class early and I made my way towards Melbourne Central. I messaged my friend on Messenger because we were meeting there to go shopping. I communicated on this app with her to see if she was close by etc. After we met I decided to finally buy the adidas I had been searching for. So I checked different websites such as Platypus, Hype, Adidas to see which store had the shoes I wanted cheapest.

Afterwards when I got home, I started getting ready for the SSS Melbourne UNI Foam Party. I checked Facebook to see what time the event was and where. Then after the party, me and my boyfriend used the UBER app to uber home.

So that was all the media I had consumed for today. As you can see I used media in many different ways:

Today marks the second day of analysing my media consumption.

Wednesday’s are also my longest day at UNI, meaning that I’m not using many media contents apart from Media factory, myrmit, blackboard and my blog in order to complete and organise my university work. I used these sites from 8:30 am to 6:30 pm. Using my blog in order to publish new blog posts throughout the day about my readings, initiative posts and of course this daily media consumption post. Blackboard and myrmit were used for my Introduction to Cinema Studies class, analysing the guidelines to writing up my reading log which I refer to each Wednesday. After our screening that day I also searched up information about ‘Sunrise: A song of two humans’, the film we are studying this week. Searching for cast members, directors and re-watching key scenes on Youtube. Media Factory was used to search up upcoming assessments on the home tab for Media 1.

In the morning I make my own way into the city for my 8:30 class. My day starts with me walking to Glenferrie station, which involves me listening to Soundcloud, my curated playlists of different search songs grouped into different genres. When I arrive to the city, I have to order my daily coffee and muesli for breakfast. I log into the NAB banking app to see how much money is in my account in order to purchase my order. While I eat and drink I scroll through my Instagram and Facebook feed. Liking photos, commenting/ tagging friends in memes etc. I also go on Snapchat to send my daily streaks. I then make my way to class and use Messenger to message my friends to meet somewhere before class so we can all walk in together and sit together.

After UNI my boyfriend and I use the UBER app to get a lift home. At home, we bring up the movie ‘Just Married’ on Youtube and sit down together to watch it. Then when he leaves, I crawl into my bed and just before i go to sleep, I check the weather app, to work out what I should wear before I walk in to university tomorrow.

So that was all the media I had consumed for today. As you can see I used media in many different ways:

• to communicate with my friends
• to get to places
• to be organised
• to escape boredom through entertainment
• to do my university work
• to be aware

Using Mediums such as:

• Soundcloud
• Messenger
• Facebook
• Instagram

Today marks the first day of analysing my media consumption.

I used the technological tool ‘GOOGLE’ which was the main content I consumed today. Soooo it all started with looking for a pair of shoes. My mum has tirelessly informed me that I need to invest in a new pair of adidas superstars, reasoning that mine are looking ‘too used’ and ‘worn out’ (classic mum banter). However when mum bought a pair that were black and white (the standard) I rebutted how I didn’t want to own a pair that everyone else wanted. You got adidas superstars to be individual, as with each new season a new release of a limited pair of sneakers. So I jumped online and thoroughly searched the web for my shoes. Based off prior knowledge I knew which stores carried this style of shoes. So I looked into various sites such as platypus , adidas and hype etc. Through these websites I used the search system to look up ‘sneakers’ and later filtered my search to ‘adidas’ in order to quickly find the range of adidas superstar shoes I was after.

Everyday I walk in to the city and everywhere I go between university classes, involves me listening to music off my phone. Generally I listen on Soundcloud. On this medium I am able to listen to the songs I have saved into a playlist. Or I find new songs from favourite artists that I can then like and put into my playlist or create a new playlist.

Today I also met with my friend and had to use Facebook Messenger in order to communicate with her, so that way we could find each other easily. I used it to communicate with her regularly so that way I could track her journey as she comes to meet me and it also provided a place to inform each other where to meet and when. I was also showing her around my university and had to look up the RMIT map (through the search engine on RMIT website) so that way I could take her to all the buildings I wanted to show her and the ones we wanted to explore together.

In the morning before University I scrolled through my newsfeed on Facebook and Instagram. I found memes on Facebook which I commented my friends in and checked notifications where I could see what I had been tagged in, what events I had coming up etc. On Instagram I looked through the photos my friends had posted and checked the Insta I had uploaded (photo  taken on my phone) a few nights ago to see the likes I had accumulated. I also went on snapchat and sent my daily snap in order to save my streaks and to open and reply to snapchats my friends had sent me.

During University, I uploaded a media 1 blog post about my reading online. I also used the internet to go on the media factory website to access my readings for the week. I also checked my university emails to make sure I was in the loop with the course work and to see any exciting RMIT news.

So that was all the media I had consumed for today. As you can see I used media in many different ways:

• to communicate with my friends
• to escape boredom through entertainment
• to keep up to date with my friends and the rest of the world
• to do my university work
