Today in class we were put into different 'teams' to talk about and critique one another portfolio projects. I unfortunately missed out on the last meeting, so I'm glad I was able to participate today. My group mates were Corina, Emma, Alec, and Romina, on the right is our super cute picture. I haven't spoken much with most of them, apart from Emma, so it was also a nice experience to get to know my classmates better.
We went around sharing where we're at with the project, asking questions, and giving helpful critiques. Most of us agreed that the social media component has been the biggest struggle, so that's what my main takeaways relate to. Corina especially helped me spark a great approach for my social media
Before I had this epiphany, the reason I've been struggling with my social media is because I couldn't visualize a social media page that gave away specific parts of the plot of the short film. Other projects, like Romina's documentary for instance, can get by with marketing the "vibe" of the series, or focusing on a specific graphic or item, but my project doesn't exactly have something like that. My initial plan was to wait until I was in the production phase and make the social media more like "behind the scenes" thing, but now that I have a visual theme in mind my options open up a lot. The group recommended a couple posts in fact;
- Questionarre on "How would you dump your significant other?"
- Emoji/Drawing posts alluding to the bits (ex. boxing gloves for that scene)
- And then the other typical posts (meet the director, cast, etc..)
I'm very happy with how the meeting went, I found it very beneficial. I'll be organizing my upcoming posts this week, and I have set the re-scheduled film dates for this weekend.
