Switching to the Postcard

-

 

 


    Taking a break from the website and meeting an assignment deadline. I choose to switch over to our movie postcard. I choose to do the design on a Canva. I'm familiar with this website as it's a great design site for all kinds of promotions. I clicked on the postcard template so it could keep its dimensions and be great. I wanted the postcard to connect to the website's color palette. This way all marketing can coordinate and it'll keep the movie's branding intact. I started with the cover photo and used its dark, neutral tones as backgrounds for the postcard. I used the echo/mirror effect on the front of the postcard just like the website and used the same font for the title. 
    Afterward, I added a shadow to the white text because it didn't stand out enough in comparison to the dark background. Switching over to the back of the postcard, I kept the same formatting as the contact page on the website. I reused the downloaded jpeg logos of the social media platforms and place them on the back of the postcard. Since they share the same tag, I put "@thedrivefeature" in the middle, hovering over a background photo. The postcard's colors are brown and nude, however, I don't really feel like these go with the film's branding or theme. I will edit that in the future until it's a perfect fit. I also added a designed, framing border around both sides of the postcard. I like it for now but after further editing, I don't think it'll fit. I'll resume the postcard soon and it was good to start framing it together and drafting.

Music Video Conventions

-

The song I choose was "Boys Aint It," by SAYGRACE. This song falls under the huge, trendy, genre of POP! This genre is most commonly used amongst teens and young adults. Through this many artists get to share their vibe, personality, and emotions while having fun. With its range, Pop music branched out to disco and contemporary R&B. In my song election, it has music breaks of disco beats, lyrics similar to contemporary R&B and the perfect feel of Pop.  Pop music videos usually have these conventions: MISE EN SCENE - Bright colors, Bright lights, Fashionable Clothing, Nice accessories, and Good make-up. PROPS - depends on the artists, their chosen theme, and setting used. VIDEO EDITS - Tints and filters to boost colors, and edits made to artists to seem picture perfect. CHARACTERS - usually sung and performed by women while having both genders integrated in the video. CAMERA SHOTS/ANGLES - close-up scenes on the artists face, wide/long angle shots, tracking the artists...

Planning Storyboard for my Sunglass Hut Commercial

  Creating a storyline for my commercial goes right along with my vision. I've looked at other commercials from Sunglass Hut to get an overview and inspiration of what I'd like in mines. I hope I'm not reaping more than I can sow.  For the beginning of the video, I want to have a variety of glasses pop up on the screen in a random order just blinking over each other. Its a cool and flashy into automatically grabbing the audience's attention.  Then have someone walking outside near trees or just in front of the mall with different angles and shoots. Ill do these in a long or aerial shots for range then zoom in on the glasses. Maybe it'll include an outfit change during this shoot for versatility. In the third box, I want someone driving, and once the sun shines SUPER BRIGHT, the actor will grab some trendy glasses and smoothly put them on and smile. The next scenes will be like a catalog screening and pan of the glasses in different settings. With ...

Working on the Social Media Pages

  Switching back over to the Marketing portion of the movie is really fun! Today I posted onto the Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram accounts. I posted the same content on Twitter and Instagram that there are four days left until the movie is released!! Additionally, I posted that our Movie Trailer that I created on Tuesday is available to watch exclusively on the website.  On Instagram, I might post the full trailer through reels to provide an alternative watching method and bring some footage to the audience. It's only 37 seconds long so I'm sure it'll fit. I also posted the singular post of the countdown! I will be posting for the remainder of the time until our official movie drops. On that day, I'm planning and creating special graphics and posters through the Canva platform to be more like an actual Movie Release. I almost thought of including or having a movie premiere either virtually or just the creators with a red carpet. This is my imagination expanding and I ...
