From old and crispy to bold glamour – TikTok filters are helping us tell stories online

Filters are an integral part of the TikTok experience – and they are coaxing life stories out of users.

Key Points: 
  • Filters are an integral part of the TikTok experience – and they are coaxing life stories out of users.
  • However, filters have a long history on social media platforms before TikTok.

The history of filters

    • What began as bunny ears and exaggerated features (think Snapchat filters) quickly developed into filters that “perfected” facial features.
    • These filters, often conforming to Western beauty standards, would slim the face, sharpen the jawline, enlarge the eyes and whiten teeth.
    • While early versions of these filters seemed unrealistic and “fake”, recent filters have mastered undetectable face alterations.

Coaxed affordances

    • These are called platform “affordances” and they are the fundamental things that influence how something can be used.
    • Affordances allow, and often compel, users to share and interact in specific ways online.
    • On TikTok, affordances dictate how users interact with the platform and with each other.
    • On TikTok, filters are coaxed affordances.

Filters as storytelling devices

    • Creators often use make-up and hair filters to differentiate between characters in a story (all played by the same person), or as devices to highlight themselves at different points in time.
    • People can tell stories quickly by using filters, utilising different hair colours or make-up looks to make note of who is speaking.
    • Using different make-up filters, Kendra plays the bride, bridesmaids, the future mother-in-law and herself (interestingly enough, without a filter).
    • Filters and their applications are developing rapidly and are increasingly ingrained in social media culture.
    • While some may decry the use of filters and unrealistic beauty standards, it is undeniable they have wonderful storytelling capabilities.
