Production Blog- Marketing

 Hello and welcome back blog!! Today I was figuring out some things to do for marketing our short film. My group realized that we had not come up with a name for the short film yet and we came up with a very creative name. The movie is called “Shattered Bonds”. The group and I all agreed this was a very cool name and it was the best winner compared to all the other names we had come up with. After coming up with the name of the film, I was then able to start coming up with marketing strategies. Due to some issues with social media platforms like Facebook and Twitter not letting minors under 18 make an account, my group and I want to create a YouTube and Instagram account for the short film. I asked Sofia if she could make the instagram account so when she does I will get the username. I am creating the postcard for the film and it is interesting and fun to come up with it. I decided to come up with the idea of doing a black postcard with a blood splatter dripping from the top. This would kind of symbolize the genre of the the film as well as what is going to occur in the film. I now need to add the title of the film being “Shattered Bonds” as well as the release date that it will premier in theaters. Then I need to add the socials for the movie in order to promote it on the postcard. I will need Sofia to create the instagram and the YouTube in order for me to complete the post card. Carleigh is working on making the website to further promote our movie to a bigger audience. I am using Canva to create my post card. It is a free site that allows you to create any poster or post card you would like. There is also options for using a template to make our post card. I decided to draw the postcard myself instead of using a template because I could not find any templates that suited our short film well enough. I decided to draw a black background with a red blood splatter dripping from the top of the post card. This would represent the killing in the movie. All I now need to do is add all the information into the post card being our social media sites that promote the short film. Thank you for listening blog and until next time!!

Production Blog- Drawbacks

 Hello and welcome back blog! Today was a day of learning and gaining new information on different media studies and theorists. In media today, I learned about media ecology and all the ways it can help us understand filming and how to apply it to our knowledge of media. It was very interesting to learn about and realize how much our society and media has changed over the years and how well communication has transformed things in our modern society. I also discussed with my group that because of my work schedule, it can be difficult to plan what days to film for the final task. I suggested that filming could take place on days that I do not work and everyone is not busy and going to Jenna’s house for filming after school would be a good plan. Weekends are very busy for me and it would be difficult to set an exact day to film for right now. One day next week, the plan would be to film after school but I will let you know for sure what day it is that filming is done. There were a cou...

Putting together a short film

  Hey Blog. This blog will discuss and evaluate the procedure of putting together a short film. The first important factor in starting the process of making a short film is identifying your budget. Understanding how much Knowing how many people will work with you and who will be a part of your cast is involved with the budget. This is very important to know to write up a plan for filming. Starting to write out a filming plan with the budget in mind is highly important.
