The 7 Types of People You'll See on Snapchat, Pt. 2!

Introduction

Snapchat is the new Facebook for the current generations, everyone seems to be using it! It is therefore pretty easy for us to draw upon an additional 7 types of people from this large pool of Gen Y's and Gen Z's! You've probably at some point in time come across:

1. The Punny One

2. The Complainer

3. The One Who Loves Shoes

4. The Snap-artist

5. The Driver 

6. The Foodie 

and last but not least, 

7. The Filter Lover!

Have you witnessed these 7 types in action and can you identify what the people in your friends-list come under? Are there an additional 7 Types Of Snapchatters that you can think of which warrant a Pt. 3 post? Let us into your ideas and thoughts in the comments section below! 

Our team's contributions
Each member of our team has filmed themselves as one or two archetypes of what we believe people on Snapchat to be like, through using their very own Snapchat accounts! Our team member Lara has then gathered all the videos and edited the Snapchat films into a sequence. She has used additional film editing tecnhiques including adding captions, voiceovers, and background music with the relevant CC licensing.

[Question 2 (from original Part. 1 of the assignment)]

((The video in our last blog post will be the 7 Types of People You Find on Snapchat Part II, including the Adventurist, The Puniest, The Artist, The Snap Driver, The Complainer, The Foodie and The Filter Lover. It is a continuation of an existing post on our blog, the 7 Types of People on Snapchat. Due to the nature of our blog, 7 different types of snapchatters had to be chosen and allocated to the four members of our group, Erin, Lara, Jordin and Rebekah.
The Adventurist and The Filter Lover were taken on by Lara who filmed and captured snaps through the eyes of someone who lives on the edge and experiences the greatest adventures life has to offer. She also captured the snaps of the person who just can’t send a snapchat without trying every filter to make sure their snap looks the best it possibly can. Jordin filmed the snaps of The Artist who loves to show off his works of art. He also captured the snaps of The Complainer who can’t go a day without letting his fellow snapchatters know the parts of the day he didn’t enjoy. Rebekah portrayed The Puniest and The Foodie types of snapchatters who enjoy documenting each meal of the day and sharing the lamest puns they can think of. The last type of person on snapchat was The Snap Driver which was depicted by Erin showing how these snapchatters handle other drivers, bad traffic and everything you encounter while in the car.

All the footage for each character was filmed by means of the snapchat app using the captions and filters within snapchat and the final video was edited by Lara. Each group member has contributed evenly sharing the filming, producing and acting throughout the whole video, by taking on a particular snapchat character and going about our daily lives snapchatting through the eyes of the 7 Types of People You Find on Snapchat Part II.))

The 7 Types of People at the Office Christmas Party

1. The Drunk 

This person has had way to much to drink and is displaying another side of themselves you just don't want to see. They are always the loudest, craziest, out of control people who can either be the life of the party or will destroy it.










2. The Workaholic 


This is the person you might want to steer clear of at the Christmas Party. They only ever talk about work and that's all that's ever on their mind. They don't want to celebrate the end of the working year, they want to talk about all the work you're trying to forget.












3.  The Unknown 


"Who are you?" This is the question you ask in your mind when this person comes up to talk to you. They are the one everyone forgot worked there and they turn up to the party like their everyone's friend. They know you but you have no idea what their name is and play along with the conversation even though have no clue what they do for the business or how they know so much about you. 






4. The Creep 



There's always one creep in the office and this guys the one. He appears throughout the Christmas party from no where like a ninja of the night, you don't really know where he is half the time but he's always got his eye on everyone watching every move they make. 
















5. The Inappropriate One


This person makes his way around the room cracking jokes that makes people feel uncomfortable and has perhaps had a few to drink. He shows up in the inappropriate attire, making innuendos every chance they turn an Office Christmas Party into an awkward affair.














6. The Hopeful BFF

With no real friends of their own and a wacky, weird personality, this person makes their way around the room trying to be everybody's new best friend. Trying to find similarities and common ground with everyone in hopes they'll say "let's be friends, best friends."

















7. The Plus One

They stand around next to their other half, not knowing anyone, making everyone feel awkward and like they have to talk to them but have no idea what to talk about because they don't know them they don't work there and they're not interested in the Office Party. The plus one floats around the room with your collogue showing their them off to the company.

The 7 Types of People You'll Encounter While Shopping

1. The Wild-Eyed Bargain Hunter

Don't even go near that sale rack, this shopper will bowl anyone over who even considers looking at the sale items that they haven't been able to get to yet. They live for the boxing day sale and will do anything they must to snatch a bargain off that shelf.






2. The Miserable Boyfriend



If found, please return to the girl in the change room trying on her 30th shirt. This guy has lost his battle against shopping. He is bored senseless carrying back and forth items of clothing to his darling girlfriend who can't make up her mind. You can also see this guy playing on his phone or having a snooze as he sits outside the store just waiting, waiting, waiting...





3. The Pushy Sales Associate





When 'Happy to Help' becomes a hindrance this associate is the culprit. When "Hi, Can I help you with anything?" turns into an interrogation about where you work, where you live and what you had for breakfast. They will try to become your friend and when you express interest in an item you can bet anything they'll be there with their hand out ready to take your cash and put another sale to their name.









4. The Power Shopper



This shopper is on a mission, walking with purpose and a somewhat stern look on their face, charging to get what they have to and get out. They will not be side-tracked by sales or shop assistants, they're in there for one thing and one thing only.







5. The Unruly Child




This child will break your enjoyable, peaceful day shopping with an ear piecing scream because they can't have everything the want bought for them. They never do what their parents say and they run wild up and down every aisle. You'll feel a headache coming on in no time.






6. The Disgruntled Customer
This shopper is never happy with anything from the staff to the products for sale. They seem to love talking to managers, always demanding for them and are easily frustrated when it comes to dealing with sales assistants who can't refund their purchases.





7. The Floater

There's always someone who you can never manage to break free of in a store. Someone who hangs over you shoulder and watches your every move. Intentional or not this shopper is a walking pain in the neck, always butting into your business, secretly judging you on what you're trying on and think they have a right to comment on your choice of item.

The 7 Types of People at Fashion Week

1. The one with the glasses on...INSIDE

Anna Wintour: AKA Queen of this type. 

Yes they're sitting inside in the front row at NYFW wearing black as night, round as round Dior sunglasses and judging you're every move. This type of person has some serious sassiness and attitude, hence why they're in the front row at fashion week and you're in the fifth row.

Well said Larry David.

2. The Token Straight Guy 
He has a love for textiles, patterns, design, Vogue magazine and fashion shows, but contrary to popular stereotyping, he is as straight as they come.

Kanye literally is President of this type. As he blatantly proves here 

3. The Heroin Chic Model

Kate Moss is the heroine of the Heroin Chic.

Before you role your eyes thinking "Heroin chic models are sooooooo 90s", hear me out for a sec. Yes this type of person may have been birthed in the 90s,  but ever since they have had some kind of presence at fashion week. The thing is; Paris, cigarettes, minimal make up, bed hair, and loose-fitted camis never really go out of fashion. No matter how much our health standards change. Wanker fashion term: it's all about the aesthetic.













4.  The Social Media Kween (or King!)

A little jealous!

Hundreds of OOTD posts (outfit of the day) and a huge Instagram following, means this type is being invited to the hottest shows at NYFW, PFW and LFW. Prepare for lots of advertising via their outfit (They'll only wear who they're seeing on whatever particular day) in addition to many Snapchat shots and photos of their coffee and accessories.
















5. The PA (Personal Assistant)

Just like Anne Hathaway in The Devil Wears Prada

This person most likely has an English literature degree and have become a PA for a major fashion journalism company's head because it will fast track their career in journalism...Right? Unfortunately for the PA, much of his or her's day will be spent fetching ten takeaway coffees at a time, answering calls and having sore feet, on account of having to stand up at every show, as they're not entitled to have a seat in the front rows.
















6. The one who's famous for being famous

With BFFL Anna

The one who's famous for being famous, and now happens to have a pretty substantial influence in the fashion industry. You'll definitely see them front row. Especially at Yeezy's Fall show in Paris (No hints or giveaways there)

#worldsmosttalkedaboutcouple

7. The Extrovert 

Iris Apafel is the founding leader of The
Extroverts

You'll definitely be seeing The Extrovert
front row at Commes des Garcons

The extrovert hates trends, and also hates being referred to as a trend setter. They despise fashion conventions and wear anything from a two dollar thrift store thick woollen jumper that somebody probably died in, to a 3000 dollar structured Yohji Yamamoto coat. Important to note: They will be invited to the majority of shows at fashion week, but will only turn up to the three they truly believe to be shows of not just fashion, but 'art.'

7 Types of People You See at a Coffee Shop

1. The Hipster

The hipster lurks in an isolated corner sipping their pumpkin spiced latte, lidless, while buried behind a classic piece of literature with a pretentious title they want someone to ask them about, convincing you of their subtle intelligence. A skater in youth, the hipster now studies philosophy or English at the most well known university in your town.

2. The Uni Student
The person on their sixth cup of coffee and seventh chapter in her large stack of university textbooks.She has been there since morning and will stay until close. She came alone and stays alone – comfortable and confident in embarking on a life committed to her career.




3. The Mother's Group

This is simply the aged group of ex high school cheerleaders who now live a suburban lifestyle as yoga-enthusiastic soccer mums. Since their lives are devoted to their families, with no career or professional direction,they congregate at the coffee shop because frankly, “there is nothing better to do.” These women pass the time between dropping and picking up Johnny and Jenny from school by conversing about the new mum on the block.

4. The Freelancer 

Fuelled by red eyes and podcasts, the Freelancer gets works done on their MacBook Pro, all while avoiding their room-mate's drama and the Netflix distractions at home. The Freelancer knows the shop’s WiFi password, and knows that those sandwiches and pastries have been sitting there for a day too long.

5. The Regular

The Regular can rattle off their specific drink faster than an auction bid caller. Their the one that knows exactly what they want and gets what they want and more. You will see them here everyday getting their daily caffeine fix and having conversations with the staff like their long lost friends as you stand behind them waiting a year to reach the front of the line.





6. The Business Person

Dressed in expensive suits and Bluetooth ear pieces the Business person is similar to the Regular minus the personality. The Business Type has their own go-to drink and will order during pauses on a conference call with his co-workers.

7. The This Is the Only Place That Has A Public Bathroom And If I Don’t Get In There We’re Going To Have A Problem Guy

One thing city dwellers know about coffee shops is that they are an oasis in a sea of “Employee Only” bathrooms. Sometimes you can sneak in undetected, or sometimes someone will slip you that big, wooden block with the key. Whichever way they manage to get it, this time is theirs and they will enjoy it.

The 7 Types of People You'll Encounter at an Inner West Cafe

1. The Coffee Snob 

Cappuccino? Pffffft, that’s not real coffee to this person. They’ll have an organically brewed, filter drip cup of coffee please. No milk, PERIOD.

2. The Food Photographer

Chances are, this person will order the most photogenic item on them menu (crowd pleaser meals...AKA avo and egg on sourdough, bircher muesli topped with seasonal fruit, things that are specifically put together to look good for Instagram, etc.) You’ll probably see this person standing on top of a chair at some point. And before you ask, yes, they have been to The Grounds of Alexandria... Duh! 

3. The Vegan

Not sure if this person is vegan because they’re against animal cruelty, or because they’re keeping up with the vegan cafe trends of Newtown. Either way, you’ll definitely be seeing plenty of their type. A typical meal ordered by this type of person will be along the lines of a soy chai latte and some kind of quinoa dish 

4. The Writer

Always sitting in the best spot of the cafe, usually in that quiet corner at the back where it’s most cushioned and has the best lighting. You can tell that they’ve probably been there for like six hours upwards. Always has trendy glasses. Always has a Macbook. Probably has an adorable pet cat at home. Stab in the dark, probably is freelancer, and writes for multiple journalism companies, including that trendy independent zine that everyone is into. Okay will stop with the wild assumptions now.

5. The Dog Lover 

This person, in addition to the writer, usually has the most sought after spot in the cafe. Usually only orders a coffee or a green juice. Their objective of cafe-going: Make everyone jealous of their lifestyle/dog of choice. 

6. The Yogi

Undoubtedly wearing Lululemon. Undoubtedly straight outta Bikram. Undoubtedly just ordered a herbal jasmine tea and a slither of raw vegan date slice

7. The Rookie (Person who is a regular at Subway and the local Petersham RSL and is therefore totally out of their element)

This person thinks that a ham and cheese croissant is fine dining. They have no idea of coffee terminology and will always go with the safe option. Prepare to see a bacon and egg roll arrive at their table. The only problem is, it will be on a brioche bun, so they will be forced to diverge from their comfort zone anyway. 

The 7 Types of People in Sydney You'll Meet (Prepare for hardcore stereotyping)

1. The Westie

This person spends their down time at the Rooty Hill RSL with a schooner in hand having a good old laugh with their mates. They also regularly holiday in Bali and bring back an assortment of Bintang clothing every trip.

2. The Northern Beaches Surfer Dude

When this guy is not down at Avalon and Whale Beach catching waves, he can most likely be spotted wearing a striped top at Palmy's local 'The Boathouse' sipping on a kale smoothie with fellow Beaches friends. This guy has rock hard, low-pain threshold feet, on account of having not worn shoes for 80% of his life.  He doesn't really ever leave the Beaches, as the relaxed and laid-back lifestyle is so amazing, everywhere else in Sydney feels supremely inadequate. The only time you'll ever see this guy with a jacket and long pants on is when he's in Japan skiing in Japan over the Winter.





3. The Conservative

Probably calls The Hills or Hornsby Shire home and lives in a mini mc-mansion. Adores Alan Jones and fellow local Ray Hadley. Adores all things liberal. Complains about carbon tax. 'Nuff said.











4. The Sports Fanatic

This person is a true blue when it comes to sport. You'll most likely not ever see them on Saturdays during the day, on account of them playing/being sideline supporters at club netball, footy and soccer. They are hardcore Roosters supporters and NRL supporters in general. Sporting events such as the Aus Open, NRL Grand Finals, Test Matches and AFL Grand Finals are equivalent to Disneyland for this person. Endless enjoyment.













5. The Shire Resider

You know the saying, one who's born in the Shire, never leaves the Shire. Important to note, the chances are high that this person has a Southern Cross tattoo on their back. They probably spend their weekends down at Miranda Fair and do weekly bush walks in the Royal National Park. Summers in Cronulla= reminiscent of Puberty Blues. So bittersweet.








6. The Train Line Snob

This person lives on the train line, and not just any train line, they live near the most hustle-y and bustle-y train station interchanges where multiple train lines are known to pass through. This includes Chatswood, Strathfield and Central Station. They like to rub their convenient living locations in your face, and also pity you if you happen to a) not live near hustling and bustling train lines b) don't live near a train line at all. Their conversation spectrum includes anything from talking about the extinct CityRail to the reasonably new Opal card system. Such fun banter ahead with this kind of peep.




7. The North Shore Resider

Resides in one of the most affluent areas of Sydney. Most likely lives in a heritage listed Californian bungalow which has been tastefully renovated by a restoration architect. Likes to host dinner parties with fellow North-Shorees and talk about what school their kid(s) go to. Probably has a live-in au pair/nanny. Pities anyone who lives any further out than West Pymble... That's the cut off.

The 7 Types of People You'll Have to Deal With in the Cinemas

1. The Texter

Pays more attention towards their phone screens, then the actual big screen they came to pay and see themselves. Constantly messaging, scrolling through past conversations, or even worse, starting a conversation with another one of their contacts. Prepare yourself to be distracted by the brightness of their phone screens, which shines intensely on your eyes.

2. The Moving Kids

You will never fail to look past these kids when seeing any family movie in theatres. Constantly pestering their parents for food, but also struggling to sit still. Some of these kids will loose out on all the patience, perfecting every weirdly, oddly, sitting position when watching the movie. Either upside down, hanging from their seats, lying across the arm rests, crossing their legs, uncrossing their legs, these types of movie goers will certainly grab your attention halfway through a scene.

3.  Toilet Goer

Never sitting through 20 minutes of the movie WITHOUT having to go to the loo. Always leaves in time for the best scenes to come on, and arrives just late after an unexpected plot twists. If you're unfortunately stuck with them for 2 and half hours of the film, be sure to focus and understand whats going on, just in case they ask the 'what just happen?' question every time they've replied to nature.

4. The Smuggler

Either ready to see a movie, or prepared to go on a mountain hike. The smugglers are renown for being the most unique movie goer. Always prepared in their giant hiking bags are; a blanket (incase it gets cold) a warm takeaway coffee mug, a beanie, some takeaway and home ready foods and snacks, plus the slippers to comfort the whole movie experience, total respect.

5. The Sleeper

Does not give a damn about the others around them, 'I'm sure i won't snore in the cinemas'. Falls to sleep as soon as the opening credits hits the screen, and wakes up just in time after conclusion of the story. If you'd like to avoid these guys, just make sure you're going to a session that is no later than 8pm.

6. The Movie Expert (who's not actually a movie expert)

Constantly critiquing the film, making fun of the acting skills, and analysing every single cinematic shot, to just make a Michael Bay joke at the very end of it. Really, the types of movie goers you definitely do not want to be sitting with for 2 and half hours.

7. The Loud-Boys

When guys get together, even guys who all love movies, the tide can turn from respected spectating to mistaken the cinemas for night out in the city for a mates birthday. Always having to be the loudest in the place, and harassing any group of females sitting near, when these group of fellas get rowdy enough, there will always be someone alerting a cinema staff.
