Instagram - Target of 300 followers

Finally we reached our 300 target! Next stop 500!

YouGov Profiles - Lady Gaga

This research has been taken from YouGov which is an internet market research firm. The picture below are not necessarily the results we were expecting in some aspects i.e. the age, however after looking in to the website with more depth we realised that they only interview people over 18 therefore it is unlikely that we would get results from a young teenage audience, however we did expect it to therefore be slightly younger for the age range 18 - 24, but after a short discussion we concluded that this was due to the parents being a fan of the music as the children/ teenagers listen to it. And as the children were not old enough to take part, it came down to the parents to be the fans of this. Therefore we have argued that we do have a secondary audience which is of the ages between 40 - 59.

This gives an overall impression of the person who is likely to listen to Lady Gaga

This can also include hobbies and other interests

And also how they would describe themselves

Where they shop and what brands they consume

Including entertainment and celebrities they may follow

This includes their digital footprint of what websites and apps they are most likely to use

This also gives an idea as to how long and what types of media they are likely to consume

Audience Research Instagram - Song Choices

An Instagram post asking our followers to come up with Lady Gaga songs if they were asked by Lady Gaga to name some.

Instagram - Filming!

We thought it would be good to have a shot that didn't just include pictures of Gaga but had a them amongst them. Therefore we thought it fitted to put the Lady Gaga wig on something other than ' Lady Gaga' Our fans loved it and we received roughly 18 likes.

Instagram - Lady Gaga in Elberses' Blockbusters

Elberses' Blockbuster book is highly useful for both our AS work but also now our A2 as we decided to focus on Lady Gaga. Elberse talks about Lady Gagas rise to fame through the work of social media. Which wouldnt not have been available 10 years ago. We thought it would be great to take a photo of this and share it with our own 'little monster' fan base.

Instagram - Bradford Filming

We thought it would be cool if we decorated a biscuit for Lady Gaga trying to get into the festive spirit! It seemed to work as Gaga fans loved it as we got 22 likes! it was definitely worth getting cold outside for a day!

Instagram - Audience Research

Instagram - Interacting with Fans

A filler post to interact with our fans and break away from updating them!

Instagram - Editing Update

An update to our followers telling them about our progression with editing!

After various behind the scene shots from filming, we decided to show them the editing side of things, which gathered an amazing 26 likes!

Instagram - Filming Update

A photo to all our Instagram followers of us filming this week! Keeping them up to date with regular posts and using common hashtags.

Another update, from the same filming session as the last post, This gathered a more resonable amount of likes, tallying up at 15!

Instagram - Filming Update

Filming for Lady Gaga and keeping our followers up to date. However we think they prefer pictures of the real Lady Gaga!!

This was another behind the scenes image, it gathered 12 likes, which really does highlight the point of attracting attention by using images of Gaga!

Instagram - Audience Research

We asked our amazing Gaga fans for some help with our audience research, who is better to ask than the fans themselves? With the use of digitisation and the use of social media we now have access to her fans all around the world from America, Europe, South America, Australia and the UK. We also asked for the fans age range so we could get an idea as to who we should be aiming our music video at. However, many were more than happy to tell us their age which helped pin point exactly where our target audience needs to lie.

Instagram Post - Filming Update

So we went out filming and thought it fitting that we take a couple of photos for our Instagram followers so they can keep up to date as to what is happening. However because of how we have marketed ourselves on Instagram ( As A level students who are making a music video to Bad Romance, Who love Lady Gaga) therefore we have aquired a lot of fans who are just willing to see Lady Gaga and are not actually interested in our filming therefore this post only earnt 25 likes, which is still a lot I suppose.

We posted this as a little 'behind the scenes' look at our production. As stated above, this only gathered 25 likes, and so clearly shows that the best way to attract attention from our followers is to share a picture of Gaga. We hope to share more behind the scenes however.

Instagram - Lady Gaga is Our Inspiration

For this post we thought it would be good to utilise it to achieve more followers, we did this by using the most popular hashtags and by using hashtags familiar to gaga fans! we thought this would be a great way to be able to boost our numbers and fast! We received 45 likes on this post plus Lady Gaga fans asking for follows!!

We uploaded this picture, and tagged some of our followers who commented frequently in it. This seemed to boost the amount of people liking the photo (though this could arguably be because of it being a picture of Gaga!)

This is our most successful post to date!

Instagram Progression Post

Our second Instagram post showcasing our love for Lady Gaga but also showing our progression in researching music videos too! Killing 2 birds with one stone! And on a plus note Gaga fans love a great photo of Gaga herself!

While researching some of Lady Gaga's music videos, we paused on this frame, we thought this would be worth sharing to let our followers know what we're doing and also because its a fun picture of Gaga herself!

Instagram - Blogging in Media

A quick post out to our Instagram followers, a filler post more than anything as we waited for our Macs to load!

In an effort to keep active on our instagram, we decided to post this picture, as you can see we managed to get 20 likes! We also used this as an opportunity to introduce ourselves to our followers.

in the picture you can see Amber and two of the AS students (Ben and Molly)

Our First Instagram Post

Our first Instagram post! - Of us setting up our Twitter account. We thought it would be a good idea to use these platforms as these are the channels used most by our Gaga fans with the exception of their own fan site littlemonsters.com

We plan on using our instagram to further our audience research, and aid us in finalising our magazine/teaser ads!
