Hi giys, being that this project is due on Saturday my group and I have been on full power mood. The good news is that all of our hard work is finally paying of and I amextremly excited to finially show it to you guys.
First of all the postcard, so on Tuesday my group and I met in class and we each showed one another the progress we had made individually and I showed them my postcard and they had really liked how I edited the picture and overall they liked the picture. But as I kept looking at it something was always wrong so I asked my group what they thought and they helped me fix the front by getting transparent images that said my movie was selected in the film festivals we plan to show the film in. This fixed the front and I was really proud of how it was coming along, but the back was still not how I envisioned it and my group found it to be fine, but I knew something was off. So I decided to ask my teacher to see what suggestions she had and she told me to add a picture and when she first told me this I was a bit concerned in my first attempt I added an image but when I put text on top of it you wouldn't be able to read anything. but then she continued and told me to add the image but change the transparency so that the image is very light and you can still read the text and this looked so good. It was exactly as I imagined it. But as I kept looking at it I came up with a brilliant idea and that was to add QR code next to where I put the URL to the website so people can scan it with their phones and they would be directly lead to the donation page where people have the option to view the film and donate if they wish to.
Next social media, when we met we discussed all the social media and we decided on using Instagram, Twitter, Youtube and Facebook. We used Instagram and Twitter mainly because they are the two platforms that are most popular for our target audience and in both of these platforms we plan on posting little behind the scene pictures and updates such as where people can watch the film and the website. We choose Facebook mainly because although its not as popular with our current target audience it is still popular and also a ice way to expand our target audience to an older population and a population outside of the U.S. We also wanted to incorporate Instagram and Facebook because of their live section because this is a popular way to communicate with our audience and bring them along on the journey by broadcasting some behind the scenes and by having interviews only available through the live sections of these social media accounts so our audience can better understand and have a better relationship with the film makers and actors. Lastly, for Youtube this is where we can connect with other film makers and so a boarder audience can reach us.
Now the Website so for the website so for the website we decided to add 8 tabs. We choose this because we tried to choose the most popular tabs that short film websites had so we came up with a home page, an about page, a gallery page, a cast page, a crew page, a film page, a poster page, and a behind the scenes page. So now let me go page by page and give a brief overview about each so for the about page this page just has a cover image which is picture of our two main actors in the psychiatrist office with a clock in front of them, but it's an extreme close up of the clock so you can only see the legs of the two actors and the clock. On top of the image we wrote the title of the film, "All Bets Are Off", and the sticker where it says that our film was selected for certain film festivals. Beneath that it has a countdown to when it's the first showing of the film. Next is the about page which has a brief explanation of the film. This is part of the home page and youu just scroll down to view it and beneath it is a section where reviews are posted and lastly it has a section where you can join the mailing list to the film that everyone can keep updated with everything going on with the film. The following page has a brief description of our three actors and a picture of each of them. For the crew section again it has a brief description of everyone and a picture of each one. The following tab is where our film would be displayed and next tot he film there is going to be an option for people to donate and support the film. Next we have the gallery tab where we post pictures of the film, behind the scenes, and the cast and the crew. Next we have a section for a poster this was something extra we decided to add because when we were researching we realized a majority of short film websites have poster so we decided to make one for our film. Lastly we have a tab for behind the scenes this was something else extra that we decided to add to our website because again we noticed a majority of short film websites have. So we decided to make a video which featured some extra background of the film with some videos and images from behind the scenes and our cast and crew.
Next the video so we finished editing it last weekend but when we meet this week we went over it once again and overall we were really content with our video but one thing that we did decide to change was to lower the intensity of the yellow in the dinning room scenes mainly so you can better view the faces of our actors.
And lastly the CCR, so this part is individually but when we met up this week we discussed some of the aspects that we knew we wanted to mention and I have started creating my script for my CCR so that tomorrow all I have to do is record it.
Overall though we are just finishing adding all the last touches before we officially turn it in tomorrow. So till then.
