As I started my degree in content creation, I decided to begin posting some content on my personal social media channels in order to improve my skills all around including filming, editing and planning content.
This was essential in developing my skill set to where it is now - I have gained experience in all areas of social media and have a more realistic insight on what it takes to generate views and engagement, overall what makes good storytelling.
Showcased below is a variety of the content I have posted on social media from TikTok, Instagram, YouTube and Pinterest:
One of my favourite forms of content to watch and make are vlogs. For myself, this is mostly my day as a fashion student in London.
This content, to me, feels authentic because I make them as a way to remember university and provide insight to people that want to know what it is like, whilst documenting my life at the same time.
On TikTok, I often post picture inspiration for others to save and post, with images being curated from myself as well as Instagram and Pinterest.
Typically I use a carousel for these kinds of posts as they are easy to share and the algorithm has been pushing the use of carousel posts.
The video on the right and carousel post below are my most popular posts - the video being a short vlog of when me and my flatmate met Charli XCX by accident, the other being an Instagram inspiration carousel which is my most popular post with almost 100k views and 14k likes.
This Video is similar to what is based on my YouTube channel, but from more of a third-party perspective than talking to the camera.
My YouTube channel is more personal to my life and is a way for me to capture my memories as they happen, as opposed to curated content. However, that is something I may explore more in future.
On Pinterest, my profile averages 10k views a month, my most successful pin being this compilation video of the Vogue archives in the LCF library - made during a content workshop in class which has gained over 35k views and almost 600 saves
