Social Media Time!!!

I created a social media page for the film! I used Instagram, as it's the primary social media I use. This a really exciting moment for me, now I feel like the existence of this movie is official, the public knows that it's happening. I had another cast meeting a few days ago (which I'll talk about in my next post) that makes me really optimistic for how the final product will be. I made the first post Tuesday, and if I felt less confident that I had actors who would be in the film I probably wouldn't have done, but I think I have enough people confirmed that it feels right.

The first post I made was the teaser poster for the film. I'll make a primary poster featuring the characters once filming has began and I'll have images of the actors in costume to use, but for now It's just this teaser poster to get people hyped.

I went with "This Spring, suit up" as the tagline because it fits with the superhero genre while fitting both the release and tagline into one line, which I wanted because I wanted the teaser poster to be as simple as possible, with very few lines of text. 

The only other piece of text that isn't the title that I included is "a new adventure from Nathaniel Brent". I went with "new adventure" instead of the standard "a film by" or "directed by" credit because it shows that I'm trying to make a film that's a little more unique then the average student short, and also because it matches the classic comic book feel. 

I felt that by including my name on the first poster and in the bio, it shows how this film is my passion project and establish it as being born of my vision. People who know me well will see my name and immediately have an idea of what this movie will be like. I definitely want to include myself in a lot of the social media, as I think having a human personality behind a movie is a good way to create a personal connection between the film and audience and thus make people more interested in it. This will mainly be through behind the scenes posts, Q&As, and a "meet the director" post I plan on making.
