Hello?

Hello,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

(A key to all my slang and abbreviations will be bellow lol. I just wanna do that for some reason.)

Yes Hi.
It is the Year 2020. Miss Rona says hi and now in this current quarantine period, I have had the random epiphany to actually start a blog! (Yes I am reusing my past A level media blog because I cba to make a whole site and I don't even know if this will be a regular thing - still haven't updated my one direction Wattpad fanfic since 2015? maybe lol. What a timeeeeee.) 
(Also another whisper bracket because I'm weird. I am still writing fanfics lol but that's room for another blog post topic I might want to rant and share my thoughts about haha)


So what is this Blog going to be about?

Idk. No seriously, Idk why the bold font but I really don't know. I'm here to give you realness sis- or bro whoever you are and share my life and mainly my thoughts!

I am currently a university student trying to get many different experiences under my belt so I can potentially succeed when finding my dream career in the future and also be happy. Because periodt.

I'm not here as a self-proclaimed 'expert' or 'super-smart successful person' here to 'show off an artificial life and give you unreasonable unrealistic advice' but to share my thoughts as someones whos gone through the UK Education system and just share stories, randomness and actual tips and observations I have had that might interest somebody! (honestly, if just one person reads this I'll be happy becuase I am doing this blog for me, and whoever else is out there that needs me at that point in their lyfe. Yes, I'm spelling life like that because I can. fite me. 


Who are you?

Okay. I should have put this part first before the other but you know what? I'm freestyling this ish and I'm here to be random and share it publicly for the sheer fact I can. So I'll answer it now lol.

My Name is Fiona (Not Fifi?! Yes, its the full Irish name but my friends started calling me Fifi in primary school and I never corrected them so it stuck and now I kinda dig it! so that's what my blogs gonna be called. Fifi's World. Because it's ME. FIFI. If anyone else is called Fifi I've stolen your idea. thx) 

I at the time of writing this (its corona time) am studying at the University of Kent. I am doing a BA in English Language and Linguistics and Management (YES I KNOW ITS A LONG NAME EVERYTIME SOMEONE IS LIKE "what do you study?" I JUST CRY IN MY HEAD BECAUSE I CBA TO EXPLAIN IT AND USUALLY I'M LIKE "I study English language." or "I study Management" AND THEN I SEE THEM IN THE OPPOSITE SUBJECT LECTURE AND THEY'RE LIKE ?? AND I'M LIKE O.O AND IT'S JUST LONG TO EXPLAIN IT I--)
Just to clarify its a joint honors degree so I am studying two disciplines in one. It's MEANT to be 50:50 BUT THEY LIED.

WHOEVERS LOOKING TO DO A JOINT HONOURS DEGREE BEWARE ESPECIALLY IF THEY ARE BOTH TWO HEFTY SUBJECTS LIKE OMFGHGDHUJGJN)

=btw I've never watched love and hiphop but I joined twitter for the first time this year and that's my life now and the memes are fresh quality.=

bOTH English Language and Linguistics fall under one umbrella and management is separate i.e business management. (I used to clarify that but then that just made my degree title EXTRA LONG AND I CBA TO EXPLAIN THAT TO EVERY1 I MEET TO I'M JUST LIKE- yesh.)

ANYWAYS... I will be doing blog posts more about my specific degree in the future. (I legit think I am the only person studying my degree subject right now and I STILL HAVENT MET SOMEONE DOING THE EXACT SAME DEGREE AS ME AND ITS BEEN 2 YEARS I'M SHOOK.)
i LEGIT thought I found someone but instead found out we both just kpop fans so that was cool lol.

YES I'M A KOREA ENTHUSIAST (and I'm black. spooky.) and I plan to do blog posts about various topics from kdramas to korean language and culture etc - WHATEVER ENTERS MY MIND I WILL WRITE ABOUT IT. OKAY

sORRY for all the capital letters I JUST keep on pressing the caps button instead of 'a' and now I can't stop so i'm just going crazy-nah I'm lying IT WAS TRUE BUT NOW this is how words sound in my head so I type how I feel because as an English major I don't have grammatic freedom like this on my own platform lool.

ANYWHOOOOO~~

I forgot to do another bold title thingee so I guess I'm on a tangent now. Yes, I am me (Que GOT7 - I am me) dw if you didn't get that reference my brain does this.

So YEAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

I like media studies (if you didn't get my last posts.) didn't do it as a degree tho because life. but I also like ALOT of things. I also DISLIKE a lot of things like everybody else lol. ANYWAYS THIS BLOG MAY BE ABANDONED LIKE MY LATEST FANFIC BUT I PRAY I GT THE MOTIVATION TO MAKE THIS A THING and hi. hehehe



KEY ON RANDOMNESS:
cba= Can't be asked
idk- I don't know 
lol- "If you don't know what lol is i-" laughing out loud.
dw- don't worry

Welcome to the fam.

MUSIC VIDEO RELEASE!!!

After a long preperation the full music video for adriana's 'In It' is out on Youtube!!!

Research & Planning 31: Artist promotion (Social media)

After FOREVER I have decided to create Instagram and Twitter Social media pages for Adriana. These are both very international famous social media sites which practically everyone owns. A lot of famous music artists govern their own pages so that they can keep their fans in the know of their daily lives and I know this is necessary for the promotion of our artist and is essential in this day and age to give the fans a new platform by which they can be connected to our Artist. From my previous video about music artists website conventions, I pointed out how practically every website I visited had social media links. It is practically essential now in this modern world for you to be able to connect to your artists on a much more personal level and so I took it towards myself to create these pages~

Twitter:

Instagram:

After this post is up I'm going to link the social media's to the website but until then follow Adriana on:
Twitter: @Adria_Official1
Instagram: Adira.Official

Since I and Seher have dubbed ourselves 'the promotional team' for adriana we will be posting any material on those pages for you guys and so stay tuned #adrianators

Research & Planing 30: Updates to our WEBSITE!!!

This post is actually old. I know. better late than never! Just wanted to let those who don't know...know (And go on the website again because haha....promotion.)


I've added a NEWS section and GALLERY Section to the website (so technically by earlier post about the website is deemed out date but oh well! I just really wanted to share this with you all~)

News:

Gallery:

Take a look at my awesome updates to my awesome website!!!

Thanks for checking my blog updates!! (i'm still alive i swear! just working extra hard for you all~)

Research & Planning 29 : Our Website Evaluation (And my commentary- I mean comments... please read.)

Hello everyone!!!

I used a site called smartsurvey to create a quick survey which I then sent out to as many people as possible to fill out and have them look at our website and give their feedback on it!!

Here is what the survey I created looked like:

Here are the responses we received:

• First Question: "What Genre of music did you associate with our website?" Majority of people associated our website with the genre of ''Modern pop.' (87.50%) Surprisingly different than what we expected which would be a high percentage in the 'Dark pop' section (12.50%) However, for this question it was multiple choice which I deliberately set as so because there is always a mix of genres in music and so we understood how modern and relevant our artist 'Adriana' was so we were very much happy with the result of the first question.

• Second Question: "What is your age range?" All of the people who answered our survey were in the age bracket "11-20" Which is exactly the scope of our target audience so we were very pleased. I would have prefered having some responses from the older age ranges but it is understandable as most people are busy with work, family etc and the youth of today have more free time (I wish I could say the same about myself haha)

• Third Question:"Do you personally like the Website?" Only one person said No. I am actually glad that I decided to put in this question because at the end of the day the website is for the fans and having honest opinions is always a sign of further growth. So to know that some people may not like it is also an important factor compared to the 99% that do.

• Fourth Question: "What part of the website grabbed your attention the most?". The responses to the question actually surprised me! I expected people to notice more the Merch pages and the gallery as I felt that provided a much more personal and interactive approach. However, 50% claimed it was the Album purchase/preview 37.50% the BTS Video I edited (yay) and 12.50% Tour/Ticket purchase. NO ONE LIKED MY MERCH (I'm going to sit in a corner and cry now I was really proud of my design skills haha. joking just in case some of you dont get it :') ) Yet aain really happy with the responses at it is a music artist website being able to have people interested in the music, album etc is most important!

• Fifth Question: "What are your opinions about the website?" oh. no. the open ended question!! noooooooooo!!!! HAHA I made this compulsory to answer because you can only get so much from data and I wanted to hear the TRUTH...... and that's exactly what i got haha. never again. hehe Well, anyways what surprised me the most was the first response. It made me rethink my life decisions because I picked English Literature A level yet somehow I still don't know how to cpell (haha do you get it? no? it's Spell. I apologise for the inconvenience caused with my lame puns ANYWAY-). I didn't go over the articles or even the homepage when I sent it for review (hits head in shame) Of Course that was fixed IMMEDIATELY. Overall everyone was really positive in their responses at you can see above. (Someone called it simplistic which I will take to my grave. 

• Maybe I shouldn't have made it anonymous because now I wanna find the person because I just wanna TALK.*triggered*) Honestly, I have seen other students websites (out of curiosity lol) and I know how different ours looks in comparison HOWEVER. from my research (And planning because you know.. the title i-) people go to a music artists website for the MUSIC because that's what we're trying to sell and that is what's important and should be focused on and what I did. so. mission succeded. and nO. That wasn't an indirect to that response. I'm not triggered I jus-

• Last Question: "Did you like the BTS video on the website?" OBVIOUSLY, this question was put together by me. (I need to know man not only for Adriana but for my wellbeing in life haha)Responses varied which was good Overall it was positive (Which is all I care abo-)and only ONE person decided to leave a further comment (thank you kind samaritan) I actually agreed with their suggestion to have more of a preview however the video is a BTS so obviously no the music video will facilitate that and since this is only a PROJECT for A2 Media Studies(I did clarify that when asking for feeback:3) Adriana can't sing (not that I know of, should've probably aske-) so obviously that's out of the equation lip sync ftw.

What I learned:

Never ask for feedback again because the truth HURTS. and also drop A level english becauseafteralltheseyears Istillcantproofrea-

Ahem.

I really learnt a lot more about meeting the needs of a target audience and being able to understand the fundamentals of getting feedback. In the end, I and Seher will be meeting again soon to discuss the results to these questions and any improvements to the website that we believe need to be done.(First of all we will need an editor because my english is-) 

Thanks for much for reading this post and I hope you all look forward to the end result!!! :)



I did not only get survey respones but verbal too and here is a video of an interview i did (she mentioned the merch!!! yay)

Research & Planning 28 : HERE IS OUR BEHIND THE SCENES VIDEO!!!

Today I decided to create a quick collage behind the scenes video with an online video editor called: 'clipchampcreate' have a little insight into behind the scenes of our filming and some extra scenes that didn't make the original cut!! :) (It took me awhile to get the instrumental audio so I ended up creating my own by using various phone apps to take away the singing audio on top... but it was worth it!!! haha)
