CONSTRUCTION : DEVELOPING THE FILM WEBSITE

Before 

After

My Film Website URL:
https://georgieclements.wixsite.com/silentvoices

I will be comparing my Film Website research to the actual final website. Within my Film Website I involved many codes and convention of a website such as social media, web banner and interactive elements ect. As well as composing research through Scoop.it of short film. Scoop.it that I used which is a useful source to further extent my knowledge about Short Film. I also analysed three Short Film Websites and I used all these research to make my final Film Website.

The outcome of my Film Website has many beneficial and effective features e.g using the house theme colour following on form my postcard. I also involved multimedia elements, behind the scenes images and Character development of our main protagonists. However there are negative aspects as well such as not including Navigational Features and Flash Elements; these would make the website more interactive and engaging.

CONSTRUCTION : DEVELOPING THE POSTCARD

  Before 

After


This is where we compare my research of my postcard to my actual final postcard and see the difference. Within my research I composed certain conventions of a Film Postcard, this includes, the Tag Line, Positive Reviews and awards ect. As well as analysing three postcards that advertise their upcoming short. I needed to research the codes and conventions of professional Short Film and use their knowledge to create my own postcard.

The outcome of my postcard has many positive aspects e.g including the house theme colour as well as the tag line, contrasting colours, social media links and many more. However negative feedback has been gathered and this includes the lack of reviews and production credits. Another negative aspect could be that the creation is too simplistic, however simplicity can go a long way and be effective to
attract audiences.

CONSTRUCTION : SOCIAL MEDIA

Twitter Page -
We created a Twitter account called No Name Production. We did this as a way to potentially reach a wider audience, which would in turn allow more people to view our short film. Similarly to our Instagram it has behind the scenes shots of how we created the short film, as well as having the release date in our bio.
We have the No Name Production Ident as our profile picture in both our Instagram and our Twitter, it is a clear and easy to see picture. It is noticeable and therefore the audience will be able to recognise it easily.

Instagram Page -
We created an Instagram called No Name Productions in order to market our short film out to the public. We also showed behind the scenes shots of filming and making the film. This gives insight into the production of the movie for the audiences and the viewers of the movie. 
It also shows how we shot some of the movie shots, by showing the actors, whilst also showing the tripod and camera filming them. Our Instagram also features how we set up shots, such as our first post which showed how we filmed the photo changing each day.

CONSTRUCTION : BBFC CERTIFICATE


The British Board of Film Classification (BBFC) is a non – governmental organisation, founded by the film industry in 1912. It is a company responsible for the national classification and censorship of films exhibited at cinemas and video works.

For our film we decided on giving it an age rating of 12A, as there aren’t any scenes in it which would upset younger viewers, but there can be some uncomfortable scenes which follow Emily's distressing journey on figuring out what has happened to her family so children under 12 might need to be accompanied.
To make our own certificate we used photoshop which we found very quick and easy to use. We found a template online and added in our own film title and description of the content of the film, so in this case we added "moderate language and disturbing scenes". We changed the coloursize and font of the writing to make it look suitable and more professional. We also took out parts of the template which we didn't need and that didn’t apply to our film.
