Some comments:
Sophie is doing her research project on ‘modern day women’ and specifically the podcast ‘Happy Hour with Lucy and Nikki’.
For Sophie’s comment I brought up her great use of relevant topics and points throughout her pitch. However, I wanted the comment to focus on how she could potentially use a similar platform and format of what she is already researching, to create her own content to her own audience.
Ruth is doing a DA focused on graphic design and using the tips and tricks from other content creators to produce content of her own on TikTok.
For Ruths comment I mentioned how examples of content and content creators would be beneficial for identifying the type of content she will be identifying. This was also something that I had failed to mention in my own pitch, so it opened my eyes to how important those examples were to include.
Pia runs a fashion page on Instagram called Piaxmolly. Her DA focuses on the media niche of Australian fashion labels, specifically researching into 4 labels.
For my comment on Pia’s I kept it focusing on a few outstanding aspects of her pitch and her DA. Pia included everything that was needed in an interesting and informative way.
By giving my own feedback, as well as receiving feedback there were lessons I learnt could’ve been adapted into my pitch and can be further adapted into my DA. I’ll go through each comment separately.
Sophie’s pitch demonstrated to me the importance of narrowing down the sort of content I will be immersing myself in through identifying the content creators I will be following. I already have a clear idea of 3 artists I follow (Em Carey, Jess Lambert and LaurDiy), but it could be beneficial if I did further research into other content creators to gain a better understanding of the media niche. I will be narrowing my content by broadening my scope of content creators.
Ruth opened my eyes up to the value of inclusive theoretical framework as a tool for incorporating the content of small creators as well as larger creators. Ruth mentioned she will be using tutorials from all content creators on TikTok within her graphic design media niche. This helped me to realise that the content I immerse myself in doesn’t necessarily just come from larger content creators with hundreds to thousands of followers, my content can also come from creators who like myself are just starting out in this media niche.
Pia outlined her pitch super clearly and outlined every aspect needed. She again linked to this idea of narrowing my research down to specific content creators, as she has done by picking a small number of labels to really focus on.
Altogether, all three pitches were great and helped me gain a better perspective for my own DA and pitch.
