Our final brief for Contemporary Media Issues is to create a fake online profile and interact via social networks to create the persona of a real person. Originally we were meant to work in groups of 3 with one character between you however my friends and I have formed a group of 6 as we have a more elaberate design. Basically we have almost recreated skins/a reality show, we each have a character and all 6 characters live together in a flat as a group of students.
To create this group of people we first create a brainstorm of what kind of characters would be interesting such as a nerd, a bimbo, a chav, an indie, a goth, a jock, forgeigners etc, we ended up with around 10-12 characters and from this we then created 6 profiles for instance the 'chavy bimbo', by doing this we gave our characters more depth and after this we gave each other a character and got to work creating a persona.
I am 'Chelsea-Mai Riley' a 20 year old hairdresser who is essentially a chavy bimbo who's obsessed with JLS. And i'm far to excited to create her on all social platforms so look out for her on Facebook/Twitter/Tumblr/Ebay/Blogs.
