Creating our Media Platforms

The next step in preparing for our short film was to create media for marketing. In doing this, we will be able to share extra details that may not be included in the movie. My group and I needed to create a Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, and YouTube. We also set up a website to add the links to all of these platforms. We decided it would be best if one person created the website, and the other two people each made two social medias. I was in charge of creating the YouTube and Facebook accounts for the film. Before we could create our accounts, we decided to come up with a title that would be the usernames for everything. Currently, the title of our movie is Perception. We decided on this because perception means the state of being aware or becoming aware of something. The entire movie the audience is aware of the character's problems but they don't become aware till the end of the film (see storyboard). It's seems ironic that the title is more about the audience than the character's.

I started with creating a gmail for the movie because it would be needed to create a YouTube account. After that, it was simple to set up the account and make it live. The Facebook was a bit more difficult because of the username. Facebook does't allow its users to create an account with words that aren't a name. Even after trying to create an account and change the name, Facebook wouldn't budge. Instead of creating an account for the movie, I had to create a personal account for my group and then create a page for the movie. Then I had to add few details such as what the page is for. Lastly, I was able to activate the page and send the link to a teammate to add to our website. We can't wait to post some behind the scenes!
