Group Discussion

Group Meeting 

Today was our second group conversation, I believe it was very needed, as a lot of us were seeking advice for our projects. If not at the same point, a lot of us are around the same point of our projects. We went around the circle to debrief about our projects and asked for help about particular areas. Once the circle reached me, I had a lot to ask and say.

First off, I felt a bit behind. Some of my group members had 18 postings, while some had 3, or 0, like myself. Those that had few postings and myself calculated together how many postings we’d have to do per day to achieve 20-30 postings by April 10th. We decided on about 2-3 postings per day. For my film and its social media conventions, I think it’d be smartest to do two stories and one post. On days that I have more work, one story and one post. Here are a couple of brainstorm ideas I thought of during this discussion for posts.

Although it doesn’t add up to 20 yet, I believe these are all very smart ideas for posts that aren’t just filler. From my past research, I saw that trends are the most popular and viral postings for romance films with a younger target audience. That. Is why I decided to include the zodiac sign match and relationship tips. Fun short postings like these are not only visually intriguing, but also engaging. I’m still trying to come up with more, but that’s what I’ve thought of so far. Another unique posting I thought would be fun to do is the magazine cover. I have a lot of model like pictures from traveling, that I think could look like magazine covers with the right editing. On the instagram platforms of various movies, magazine covers of their leading actor or actress is usually posted. I’m excited to research, as well as come up with more ideas!!

For the post card, I didn’t have many questions. I’ve had what I want it to look like envisioned in my head for a long time now. The bold graphic will be the two characters face to face with the sunset in the middle, the title bright and in a cursive font, and most of the information in the back. 

I really like this font that I found on Canva and will probably be utilizing it for our films postcard.

OH, the title may have caught you by surprise. That’s another thing we changed. I informed the group of all the changes Mariana and I have made to the film, and they had a lot to say. First, they all agreed that the idea of using season to display the progression of time was much smoother and clever. I was so happy they liked the new concept! After letting them know about the changes, I asked if the title “Love You to Lose You” was still formfitting, since they find each other at the end. (They weren’t supposed to initially). Most of them said yes or stayed silent, I think they weren’t sure. BUTT one of my group members said “Intertwined” would be a better title. It represents the film since somehow, their paths always meet and they’re always connected somehow. As soon as she said this I got SOO excited. I couldn’t think of a word that would sound nice as a title, intertwined sounded just right. I also found it very cute since my boyfriend and I always say we’re interlinked.
