Group Meetings part #2
So talking to others on their projects, ended up being extremely helpful as we got some suggestions on locations. First we were struggling with where to film the scenes where she is writing on the bathroom walls since we didn't want to film it in the school bathroom so we got the great recommendation of going to the park and seeing if any of the bathroom we could use to film because no one goes to them during the school week so filming in there might be a good location.
Another thing is how we expecting to make the story less flat since what we have so far seems to be a story without a rising or falling action so we are going to have to find a problem I think it probably will have to be without of our characters stops writing on the wall leaving the other confused about what's happing. we as a group still need to workshop a bit the script since its almost done but not completely.
Needless to say i enjoyed talking to others and see what they were working on and it was awesome to hear feedback on my own project because at this point it is much appreciated.

Ok so the sudden realization we needed to lock in hit today so i started to work on the social media heavy because we hadn't been focusing a lot on what we wanted to post before until today we needed to start coming up woth a lot more than we had for social media so that we can have a good campaign for our film on social media.

Print component research
All week last week I was helping in drama production so I'm a little exhausted this weekend and slept a lot when I should've been working on this project today. Okay so we need to film this week so I decided to start looking what we can for the print components so that we at least have a templet so that we don't have to take a lot of time looking for it later and we can find it later, so first we needed a film festival and when i looked in to our genre i found this list:

Posting
Hi, okay today i was working with some help with people a way to create a tittle post logo thing. We decided to go with a purple and pink aesthetic and we wanted to also have the writings on around the logo different handwriting so we asked people to write what you would regularly see on the bathroom wall on a sheet of paper.
After this i realized we really need to start filming because first its a crucial part of the project but secondly to do all the post on Instagram and all the other of the components.

Talking about
Today my group and I talked about what we are planning to do with the Instagram. We thought to do a 9 post grid post but we thought that was too much so we ended up with going with 3 but we aren't sure if we make the tittle the middle post or different post. But it usually brings a lot of attention to the posts because its big and since it goes for multiple post it draws attention as son as you open the page.

reschedule
Okay so after the group meeting i realized that we have around 4 more weeks of the project and I don't want to say we have to speed run the project but we definitely need to start to move the project faster. so as a group we decided to reevaluate our scheduled to fix it to make up with us running a bit late on the project.

group meetings
I'm going to be honest. I feel so much better to see what the rest of my peers are at in their project, because I don't feel like I'm falling behind anymore. But I've also come to the realization we all need to start to come to finalization by the end of the week. Our short films need to find a good location to film, especially with our need to have a very specific place to make our story make sense, a bathroom, so location is extremely important. So my group has to come out where we want film by next week because in that i feel like we are falling behind.
A suggestion that I thought was interesting was to create a voice over for the writing so we could make her writing seem more interest, because unfortunately a lot of people don't want to spend most pf a short film reading, or are too slow in reading (that I know happens to me all the time when watching things). As well as he need to come up with a more in detailed plot that i already feel like we needed cause we have an idea but we keep going in circle about what we want to do, like what they are writing.

oscar nominated short films
So earlier today I got dragged by a friend to go watch all the Oscar nominated short films, and I thought about using it as learning experience and after many tears (because why were they all soooooooo sad) I realized that a lot of the films were based on something already known to the majority of the audience.
As a group we thought hard on the plot but we haven't thought about the characters individually which I'm now starting to realize its a big mistake and its definitely something I'm going to talk to my group about when we talk next week because were trying to establish a well thought out story and you cant do that with out knowing your characters. The fact that we haven't even figure out the names is something i want to figure out when we get into class.

Checking other instagrams
Ok so we have to make a Instagram this week so i decided the best case scenario is to see how movies promote their movies on Instagram to see the vibes we go with ours.
Lady Bird
this movie has the same coming of age feel I think we are going for with our film. Now the photos are all different things it has a bright color scheme going for it that accurately represent the bright and warm aesthetic the movie has, i want to do a similar thing with our Instagram because we need to establish what the movie is going to be about without directly saying it and establishing a color scheme i feel is really important in filming but also specifically in marketing.
As well as the Instagram specifically is centered around the women barley showing any men in a any cover photo of the Instagram emphasizing the fact this women is targeted audience are girls, specifically the coming of age ones this shows strong women who they can look up to. So once we establish our target audience specifically we can use it to market our film.
They also use the font of the tittle in most post which is a great way to establish a brand, So i understand that this extremely important while marketing just the tittle as a logo of the brand so me and my group are brainstorming ideas on how to make our tittle font stand out while tying back to plot. with this we put thought and we think use a font that looks like a marker wrote it would be nice as it ties in with our film.
Edge of Seventeen (another coming of age movie)
This Instagram for the movie had more muted colors except for one which was the orange. The color directly brings your eyes to it because its so bright compared to the other muted colors. This shows the significance of the color (as well in marketing it just brings your eye to it) as it represents the main character. Now the orange isn't bright and its also muted but its brighter then the other colors showing that this movie will talk about how the main character potential is getting suppressed but its still there, which is a a good way to show a coming of age film.
This Instagram is also filled with reels that are always more engaging than photos as well as big bright words that are easy to read even if ur just seeing the cover. This makes marketing easier and helps people understand what your trying to say easier. I think this a route e should considered using on our Instagram.

Meeting with group
But it also led to many problems as we are trying to find a way around like the bathroom setting we are trying to establish is a hard place to film because obviously the bathroom is a private place and filming in a bathroom would be tricky. But one of my group member, Juan, mentioned we can use his half bathroom and make a wall with carboard but we aren't sure what that would look like and if it would give the real affect we also were debating if filming in a bathroom in an office might work, if we can convince someone to let us film in there so we still have to scout out the location. But we were looking into buying washable markers so that we don't actually vandalize a bathroom.
Now obviously things are set for change like most projects, and a little more of the project needs to be flushed put but like the way the project is going for now and i think with this idea the Instagram promotional can be very fun and creative.
