Through the use of qualitative content analysis and thematic analysis, we explore the Instagram account of Pandawara, to investigate the ways in which content is transformed into a commodity by applying the media aesthetics theory and conducting thematic analysis to search for themes and any indications of how as well as finding out how to use this for educational purposes. The results show that media aesthetics play a part in creating a major dynamic for content creation by making it visually stunning in different ways of camerawork and special effects while also boosting the image of the group which also leads to amazing performance excellence by the group.
