Social Media Accounts for Short Film

     

   Within this blog I will be discussing the further actions I took on my website for my social media accounts. One aspect of the A level Media class is the requirement for a website to be formed with social media platforms linked to that specific website. Within this website comes four separate media social accounts needed; Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, and Youtube. Before I started on these websites I needed to figure out a name for my short film. My short film is based on a horror movie, which made me think of titles giving off a scary theme to it, not to mention my character is trapped within a house. The aspect was the name itself, "Trapped". Once I had my inspiration and name behind my film, I needed to create four separate accounts yet each account had the same username as it followed with my film. The username which I chose was a formation between the title of the film and the actor's name, called "Trapped_Jason". Now as much as I wanted to keep this consistent, a problem came up with Facebook where I could only put the name of the character as the Username. In sense I used Jason, however adding a last name not presented as information beforehand, however it was the initial name of the character. Now speaking upon each media source comes with a bio, a bio being a short description as what to expect when media is being published on the accounts. For all I kept the consistency by using a bio promoting the establishment of my movie in works, the casting of Jason, and now it will be coming in theaters soon as a marketing establishment. Each website was different as I exclaimed whether it was either Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, or Youtube. During the creation of my Wix website, many attempts were initially tried to get the website's links onto Wix. It was a tough process with multiple attempts to get the link to go straight to the bio, then some being uploaded then not working. Overall it came out perfect having each link correspond to the right page. The Wix page in which I pasted the links also has its own horror theme type of aspect towards it, it's created as a personal website to show the media side of the film. Next process to the website includes character background as well as producer background and locations. My next step for my media links is to create a background photo and start to establish my music and emails towards the usage of music I can take a hold off on my film.

 This is an example of one media platform for my short film, which is on twitter.

Genre choice of film

Image
          My main genre was horror which is what i wanted my film to be based behind. I always loved horror as a child due to the thrills and chills you get while watching those types of movies, which is something i thought i can capture in a short film. Horror has many aspects to it, including music, sound effects, lighting, and jump- scares. All these aspects are key, the sound effects are what made me truly interested in it behind the fact that many sounds are created by random objects by a mic, for say a loud bang/ thunder is created by a loud hit to a mental trashcan, or bones crunching can be a large amount raw pasta broken at the right time. It just makes it a lot more fun to create your own sounds with objects you could find at home. My film itself is a film based on a character who wakes up alone with a task to find an object before time runs out. The horror aspect is behind the evil spirit which torments the character while he searches for this missing item. Lighting is anoth

Props revise

Image
           Today's blog will be about my steps to regather certain props for my film. Now this film is still in works from given spectator comments as well as my own personal opinion, so changing the props was necessary in the final film. The certain mistakes which played through the first take of the film came as not getting the correct clocks for the hallway scene, using the wrong version of blood, and getting a new mask/costume and painting. Now some of these weren't mistakes, however it was and will be improvements with the final week I have to work on this project. Getting straight into it I came across parts in my film where I knew it could have been better, both in filming and features. The hallway scene came to a surprise for me as I thought my work was perfect, but as I took a look back the clocks just weren't doing it. So as I mark down on my phone certain items to find while school ended I began the search for the perfect medium sized wall clocks. I checked multi

Editing process on Laptop Pt 1

Image
                The of editing of my end scenes as well as my pictures for my characters was being done on my phone. Now comes my first step/process of editing on my computer using editing apps. For these editing softwares, I decided to use two which were free and able to be accessed on my laptop. These two editing apps are called, "Imovie", and "FilmoraGo", however Imovie is the main one I used. I decided to go with these two since they were free and both were apple product editing softwares. In the future I may come across some type of software which works better which may be stated in my up coming blogs about my editing process. For now these work, they are simple and take clips and do as necessary by cutting them and inserting transitions from scene to scene. I kept Imovie, since my phone had the ability to access the app and transport over the edited clips so I went from there. My beginning process was trying to start on the editing of the first scenes which we
