Post-Production: Social Media sites for the Website

As I was thoroughly inspired by Lorde and Charlie XCX’s website, I examined and explored it thoroughly. I quickly found the reason I was so intrigued and engaged with it is due to its attention to its social media platforms. Therefore, I wanted viewers who are exploring our website for SIOUX to feel the same engagement with our site and therefore I felt the need to develop and pay attention to the social media pages. For example, firstly I took time in deciding which social media sites are most effective and which demonstrate impressive, diverse information. Therefore, after long research I chose to include five sites, including Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr, SoundCloud and lastly Instagram. I wanted to take on this challenge as I want individuals who are navigating my site to feel visually connected and creatively impressed. When creating all these social media sites, I am constantly considering her interest and image of youth, rebellion, spontaneity and fun. As well as this, across all the social media sites, I will make a conscious effort of following influential people that SIOUX has been inspired by. Similarly, most of these social media and networking sites are connected, so SIOUX’S supposed fans can be easily navigational and direct. The main focus of including these five, detailed sites is to additionally allow viewers to gain further material to the website.

Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/SIOUXmusicofficial

As I am aware, ‘Facebook’ is one of the world’s most popular social media platform. It is a ‘free social networking website that allows users to create profiles, upload photos and video, send messages’ and to also allow individuals to know your updates in life – perfect for an artist. Similarly, Facebook includes public features, such as, ‘Pages,’ a function allowing one to create and promote a public page built around a specific topic, such as their career.

Therefore, I felt this was ideal for our artist SIOUX and for fans to follow her through this social platform. In this site, I want to include regular updates, such as, images, videos and relevant text for SIOUX supposing fans. Similarly, the Facebook site is created to allow individuals to feel engaged with her everyday life, such as events or her thoughts. I will post personal or open or oppositely things SIOUX is inspired by every known and again to keep the page active and alive.

Twitter - https://twitter.com/musicSIOUX

My second social media platform I wish to include into my website is ‘Twitter.’ Twitter is a ‘free social networking microblogging service that allows members to broadcast short posts called tweets.’ Similarly, ‘Twitter members can broadcast tweets and follow other users’ tweets by using multiple platforms and devices.’ It is a great way to find out what’s happening in the world today and new updated information about someone, such as an artist. Due to this, I think SIOUX’s followers would benefit greatly from an update every known and again.

I will tweet regular scribed updates as well as visual images and potential videos to keep viewers interested and engaged through other platforms.

Tumblr- https://siouxmusicofficial.tumblr.com

I wanted to include ‘Tumblr’ into SIOUX’s website as I think Tumblr is one of the creatively founded social media platform and therefore I feel followers would benefit greatly. ‘Tumblr is a microblogging and social networking website founded in 2007. The service allows users to post multimedia, (mostly images) and other content to a short-form blog. Users can also follow other users.’

Luckily Tumblr is an easy to use site which allowed me to repost images SIOUX is interested in as well as posting her own personal information. I am constantly considering her interests, inspirations and thoughts throughout creating this site.

SoundCloud- https://soundcloud.com/siouxmusicofficial

I felt the need to include ‘SoundCloud’ into the link follow as SoundCloud is a different social media platform specialising in music. For instance, ‘SoundCloud is the world’s leading social sound platform where anyone can listen to or create sounds and share them everywhere.’

I will post SIOUX’s latest releases as well as following artists SIOUX is interested and inspired by. By being a creator, it allows SIOUX to easily record and upload her sounds to SoundCloud for an automatic recognition. SoundCloud allows users to either share them privately amongst chosen individuals or publicly to viewers, blogs, sits and most social networking sites. This is a great platform to engage directly with your SIOUX’s supposed fans with comments and promotion to her work.

Instagram- https://www.instagram.com/siouxofficialmusic/

As I understand, ‘Instagram’ is an ‘online photo-sharing site that enables users to take pictures and share them either publicly or privately via the app.’ Therefore, I wanted SIOUX to have her own Instagram page to allow viewers to explore further, personal information about our artist. However, as the website can be a big job, Harvey offered to take control of the Instagram page and therefore he created it. For example, Harvey created the site by gathering images or videos consisting of either personal and genuine posts or inspired information.
