Summary: | Within social media, users can develop anonymous personas who are not bound
by the social conventions of the offline world. This possibility extends to the birth
of digital characters on social media, using the platform like any other human.
There is a considerable lack of research involving virtual persona, as such, we
would like to contribute with this study. This research focused on social media
Instagram as it focuses on visual communication. The purpose of this research is to
(1) examine how virtual persona builds engagement with digital storytelling on
social media Instagram and (2) designing virtual persona for digital storytelling
purpose on Instagram. This study combines literature review, comparative study,
and questionnaire in its research process. A literature review was conducted to
provide researchers with theoretical background needed for the research. Virtual
personas who conducted digital storytelling on Instagram such as Miquela Sousa
(@lilmiquela), Seraphine Song (@seradotwav), and Liv (@livinthefuture), are
selected for the comparative study of this research. From the literature review and
comparative study, 27 questions were designed for the questionnaire. Later, the
questionnaire data were analyzed with SPSS application and Principal Component
Analysis (PCA) method. Results show there are five factors that play a part in virtual
persona and their digital storytelling on social media – interactive narration,
humanely content, positive behavior, realistic setting, and character design. These
five factors provide a guideline on creating virtual persona, which we applied these
in the process of designing virtual persona Emi Ayami @emi.ayami on Instagram.
The design process itself included brainstorming, creating concept art, breaking
down stories into microcontent, drawing ‘photo’ illustrations and writing the
caption which will be implemented on Instagram. |
