I was really shocked when we got told for our last assignment in contemporary media issues that we had to produce a fake online profile and interact using the profile through social networking such as facebook, twitter, youtube etc. We our working in groups of three, and sharing the one chracter between us however taking on different social networks for that character. Our character is called Riley Scott and we decided to create him as a typical Liverpool 'scally', someone who sits around without a Job, on the dole smoking weed all day! We thought this would be quite a fun charcter to play about with as he is nothing like any of us - Tom is fronting his facebook page, Niki is fronting a Tublr and Amy is fronting his Twitter! Me on the otherhand? well I have created a kind of 'girlfriend' for Riley Scott called Missy Jackson. Missy is just a kind of spin off character to make our main profile look real as she is meant to be his girlfriend yet he is interacting with all of these other females on different sites.
I now find this fake profile thing really funny as the whole of the year have created there online characters and we are now interacting with one another!
