New Word: Socials

Welcome back! With any film, exposure is a key part to the overall success of the movie. We knew an audience had to be prepared before we could actually release our film. Together we created a website, this website was the keystone connector to all our other platforms: Twitter, Instagram, and Facebook. I was particularly tasked with our films Instagram page. It’s very common for film promotions to go through Instagram in forms of interactive videos, questionaries, and exclusive content leaks. I had friends and family follow the account to create the effect of success to outside audiences, making them more inclined to check out the page. I then decided to show the crew involved with the production, individually photographed. This had the express purpose of creating a sense of familiarity to our company for the target audience. Now there was a post with faces, names, and interactions. Putting a face to a company name allows for fan to create a more personalized connection. Our next post was a trailer of the film. The scenes we picked show specific content to form a basic idea of the story content. The music in the trailer is very different than the final music we chose for the final film. The music picked for the trailer is slow, creepy, and suspenseful. It introduces that the film does have darker tones with drunk driving being our main warning. From trailer footage released to the true release date, we created promotional posters ready for the release of the film. Story posts are a great example of quick easy promotion. This post format is one of the most interactive ways for a project to reach an audience. Our poster showcases the car involved in the drinking and driving, as well as colored font to emphasize the release of the film. That's all for now, and i'll be sure to keep everyone posted on future updates. I'll catch you all in the next one!

Short film research: (Buried Treasure/Mystery)

    Hello everyone and welcome back to my blog!. I am continuing to research short films and their conventions. I am reviewing short films that follow my genre to learn about conventions I would need to use for my short film. As the genre I am using is mystery, I am going to be watching mystery short films. In this blog I am going to research the mystery short film, “Buried Treasure”. I was able to find this short film option on YouTube.       When the film opens, the music is the first thing once again that I notice. This music is different though from the last movie I reviewed. The difference was that this music got louder progressively as the opening of the short film continued. The lighting is the same though. I notice the dark lighting. The dark lighting creates a very deep shadow and puts spotlights on certain aspects. This goes back to the point convention I’ve noticed in mystery films which is having the audience very focused on the little details.       When watching, I contin

 Welcome back! In todays blog I plan to introduce you to the next 3 members you'll hear about till the end of our journey on this project, so lets get into it! For this project I realized that it would be our most ambitious one yet, so I decided to work with 4 people instead of 2 or 3. For those of you who've read my previous blogs, you'll remember Lauren, as she worked with me on my previous project too. Lauren and I worked exceptionally well together, so we decided to keep the ball rolling and tackle this on too. We could not do it alone however, so we added 2 new additions to our team, Franshesca and Isa. Starting with Isa, she's also on the debate team and is good friends with Lauren and I, so given that we all shared the same Media period together and already had good chemistry, she'll be a great pick for our team. Lauren, Isa and I sharing the same AICE Media period will prove quite beneficial as it makes coordinating, scheduling, and planning our project a mu

  And the planning begins! Hey guys and welcome back to my blog! The last time you read I was researching for my short film. My group and I were doing things like comparing short films to its feature film version, looking at conventions of short films in our genre we chose (mystery), and etc. Now that my group and I have done the research it’s finally the time to start planning for our short film. So, in this blog, I wanted to talk to you guys about the ideas our group came up with when it comes to the scheduling, location, backup plans, and etc, for our film! Schedule So, for the schedule of our movie, we want to have it completely done and submitted by March 13th. By, this date we will have all of our marketing, editing, and filming done. So, our group decided to start filming around mid February. By filming in mid February, this will allow our group leniency. For example, if we forget to film a certain aspect of the movie, by having a month left, it will allow us to go back and refi
