Group Meeting #2

 


    The second group meeting was held today. The feedback that I got was in regard to the thumbnails/ posters. For the second thumbnail with the title "Porcelain" that wasn't readable against the background, Mariana suggested that I do a brown outline as to match my hair color. When I tested her suggestion on Adobe Express, this is how it turned out:


    This is still a bit unclear, I feel. So I have decided to just scratch the whole poster and make a different one, possibly a horizontally oriented one.

    The other thing that was suggested to me was also in relation to the thumbnails. Ryan suggested that I make a horizontal thumbnail as these are commonly seen on Netflix. I think that producing a horizontal thumbnail will aid in the versatility of the marketing of the production. I will make a horizontally- oriented poster centered around the lilies when they are in bloom to test if I like it. Using the flowers will reinforce this metaphor that occurs throughout the production. It will give them more prominence within the narrative. And due to the flowers, in bloom, representing the outside perception of the central character and the cracks in the central character's face on the other poster representative of the inner turmoil that slowly seeps through the surface, there will be variation in the tone of each poster, similar to the function of the trailers. 

    At the group meeting, we all shared our progress thus far. All of the students in my group have made good progress, whether that is of the actual production's filming/editing, or the digital or print component. Most of the group members chose the short film package, so they all have everything for the production filmed, but the progress of editing varied. If the film wasn't edited, there was significant progress on the print component, which is a post card for a film festival, or the digital component- the Instagram page. I definitely fell in the middle, with my print component pretty much completed and my digital component, while lacking around 15 posts, well on its way of development.
