Social Media

What's up blog. So as a part of our short film package, we need to create a social media page. The good part is my team knows we want to use Instagram. The bad part is that's all we know so far. We had a couple ideas for creating unique posts, such as different notes with info about our short film but written on a bathroom door/wall (since the name of the short film is The Writing On The Bathroom Wall). But as for when we would start posting those, we need to come up with a schedule. 

Since our film is going to focus on two queer female leads, I immediately though of Netflix's The Prom for inspiration (another film that shares the story of two queer female leads). For The Prom's Instagram, their first 3-4 posts teased the coming of the teaser trailer as well as the main title graphic. Then, the 5th post was the actual teaser trailer and featured the release date of the film as well. The first posts also only featured the minor characters, while later on in the posts they reveal the main leads.

They used these posters that featured a character then the title, date, and taglines for the film. I would like to use this strategy too, however, at the moment we don't have minor characters so I'm not sure if this technique can be used because at the moment we only have our 2 main characters. I think we will try to slowly reveal our characters, teasing the aesthetics first before the characters, and then drop the teaser and trailers.
