Evaluation Question 4

Twitter Account - Promotion

I decided to make a Twitter account as part of the promotion for my short film. I chose to do this as social media is an important part within the distribution and exhibition of short films. By creating this media platform it could allow me to gain a wider audience, therefore resulting in a very successful short film. On this account I included images of my main character Edward to show the audience who my film will be focused on throughout. These images can also reveal the genre of the film due to his facial expressions and the location within. I am hoping that the account will gain many followers, which will be a success when marketing and promoting my short film.

Changes from my Animatic to my Short Film

Due to problems with our budget and incentives for our actors we decided to cut out two scenes within our short film, which were the encounter with the young woman and the bully scene. These are some screenshots of my animatic and the scenes we decided to change within the production of my short film.

Vlog Update 2

Here's a little vlog update on where we are up to so far with the production of our short film.

My Distribution Company - Sundance Institute

After a lot of thinking we decided to use the Sundance Institute as our distribution company. This is due to the fact that they have had a lot of experience working with new, young filmmakers in the short film industry. We have also chosen them as our distribution company as Sundance work very closely with other very successful companies such as iTunes, Netflix and Youtube, which are major streaming sites where short films can be found. The Sundance Institute frequently use a lot of social media such as Twitter, Instagram and Facebook, which have a huge, worldwide audience to them. This means if they distribute our short film we could gain a much wider target audience and contribute the success of our short film in the end.
