Game Plan...

Sharing is carrying...

Last week Mrs. Stoklosa gave us a lesson on social media, and within the lesson she explained the importance of constant posting. Whith that, I figured it would be helpful to create a posting schedule😉😉 and just like everything in the progress of this project... I will share it with you.

DUDA'S POSTING SCHEDULE

Game Plan

 HOW HARD CAN IT BE TO FIND SOCIAL MEDIA ACCOUNTS NOW A DAYS?

Before actually developing my social media account, I thought
It would be clever of me to take a look at some professional accounts. But I actually had the hardest time trying to find social media accounts.But then I finally found it.

ABSTRACT
 ISNTAGRAM 
PAGE

This Instagram feed is very colorful and creative, representing the concept of this documentary. The same colors are shown throughout the whole feed: blue, green, yellow, orange, pink, and red. Which I know is something very important because Mrs. Stoklosa always mentions. The feed consists of posts of all different types of art that are shown in all the different episodes. The fee also contains content on most of the artists shown in all the episodes. The posts also include thumbnails and posters from the piece. This is a very smart way of digital distribution, as it reaches varied audiences. Which is definitely a strategy I look forward to including within my social media posts. One thing i did not really like about this instagram page was the lack of interaction with the audience, lack

of stories, and  behind tghe scenes posts. Which are types of content I want to create within my social media. Mrs. Stoklosa mentioned these types of post in her last lesson. She mentioned their importance and how audiece interaction is always important. It makes the audiece feel like a part of it.

 

Watching Film...

How to get better? by learning from previous experiences...

This week I decided to go on and watch some documentaries... With the purpose of understanding what I liked, what I wanted to add to my project, and what I would definitely not add to mine. SOOO....... Here we go...

My documentary focuses on sports. The first documentary I decided to watch was "Simone Biles RISING" The first thing I noticed about this documentary was the amount of episodes. This documentary counts with 4 episodes, a plausible number of episodes my documentary could have. This stood out to me because this documentary takes on a very long story that was told in 4 episodes. The episodes were divided as steps of her story, like stair steps. Another thing I really enjoyed about this documentary is how the interviews happen in different places... different locations for the same person in the same episode. It engaging. Still in the interview topic... The producers also went to another level as they got a varied amount of interviewees! Biles story was told from multiple points of view, which, in my opinion (from an audience POV), creates a less biased impression on the audience. WHY? Simply because as many people tell a story, the closer to reality it is.

Next up, I decided to watch a documentary that did not talk about sports, nor was it in an episodic format. You may ask me, "WHY WOULD YOU DO THAT?" The answer is... I like to create contents that relate characters to the human side. I want to HUMANIZE SPORTS. So I decided to watch a documentary that talks about a topic that touches humans like no other: the m*rd*r of a child. I watched "A Life Too Short: The Isabella Nardoni Case". The documentary tells the story of a five-year-old girl that falls from the sixth floor of her father's apartment building; her mother embarks on a quest for justice and lands in the national spotlight. I decided to watch it mainly to see what editing techniques are used when sensitive topics are mentioned. Like the use of shallow focus during interview shots... The use of edited shound bites... Like cloock sound and people screaming. Especially rapid interview clips where the interviewees say something impactful and then it cuts to a silance. Altho those techniques are used with a sad topic... They can also emphisise topics that altho are happy, they are important to my topic.

 I CREATED MY SOCIAL MEDIA📸

Like Mrs. Stoklosa mentined in class in the beginning of the week: "it is important to create your social media pages soon." So here is the link to my documentaries' instagram page.

   As you can see the page is still empty. No colors nor posts yet. But next week I will decide my brands color, logo, font and final name.

   I chose Instagram as I believe it is the most used social media for marketing and also most usefull. As any type of contect can be posted from pictures, videos, stories, live streams... It basically allows me to be creative.

Cant wait to see all the post😁

End zone

Because a portion of the project includes media distribution and wanting or not, this is a form of media where I will be somehow distributing and sharing about my documentary. I decided to follow the techniques and tips mentioned in my last post and adapted this blog page to my documentary. OFC because it has only been a week and a half and I still don't have a logo, nor much visual editing. BUT since I have worked as media manager for this football team, I have thousands of pictures I HAVE TAKEN AND EDITED. So I chose to use it as the background image.

POST FROM LAST YEAR
EXPLANING MY POST TITLE
 IDEA.

Another thing I decided to do, like a redo from last year, was that I decided to name my posts with football terms to keep it in them since my documentary is on the football team. Last year I decided to do something similar, where I named my posts with parts of the song that inspired me.

KICK OFF🏈🏈🏈

 Welcome to weeek 2!✌

This week we started off with a lecture from Mrs. Stoklosa on the digital distribution part of this project. Where sho focused on social media. We were given tips on how to create constant posting, consistent visuals...  we saw examples of actual films/brands social media, like the FREE GUY INSTAGRAM.

PROFILE PICTURE

INSTAGRAM FEED

 

 

In the profile picture, for example, it exemplifies the consistency of the brand's colors (light blue and a bright blue). The collors are also maintained through the feed. The font used in the logo is also used throughout all the posts. The posts also vary between different categories from the film, pictures, videos, teasers, call to action, and posters.

Even though Free Guy is a film example and my project is a documentary. Free Guy does a good job at developing a brand through social media, and the techniques I mentioned above are great examples of what I should follow when developing my brand.

PICTURE OF NOTES I TOOK IN CLASS

RESEARCH 🧐

 As this week was the first one, i didn’t do much extra research on my veneer, documentary. However, i have been working with small docs for quite some time now. But I made sure i reviewed my notes from past lectures before talking on much research.

I decided to do it this way mainly because it took me sometime to actually decide 100% on what i was actually doing for this project. I wanted to get things more organized this time around; las years, in AS, I had many problems because i lacked organization and getting my ideas straight that I ended up having to change a lot of the thing I had visualized last

Today we begun my A level prortfolio project 🙀

In preparation… this week we had lessons on each of our project choices, where Stoklosa showed us samples from past years and then after we had meetings with her discussing more private questions and our ideas.

For this years: i decided to do the documentary project, where i will dive into different aspects a football team on different episodes!

I decided to to this project on them because since this is a project that will take A LONG TIME i wanted to do something that was meaningful to me and in something a felt comfortable around. I have been a media maneger( PR) for my schools football team for 3 years now, so it fits perfectly🥹
