Week 15/ 16

We are finally coming to the very end of the semester and working hard to finish our marketing and distribution plan for our final presentation on Thursday, May 4th.  Kaelin and I have been talking about what we want for our website and what kind of design we're looking for.  I went ahead and opened a wix account and created a background picture on the site from Walton's distillery and make sure our color theme went with our film's yellow and brown tones to have unity between them.  Kaelin is coming over on Wednesday to put all of our content onto the website and create a facebook page.  Overall, this class has been a positive experience and I've been very lucky with the group members I was assigned.  We've learned together and created a film that we can be proud of for our senior seminar.

Week 14

This week we've been entirely focused on getting our final cut completed as well as beginning our marketing and distribution plan.  We met this week to discuss our marketing and distribution project and to divide the responsibilities equally for everybody.  Kaelin and I are in charge of the website and facebook page, Michaela is working on the festival roll out and budget, and Hannah is going to do the poster and post card.  Kaelin and I decided to create our website on wix for free.  I have experience using wix before and it's a very easy website platform for people who don't have a ton of experience creating sites (us!).  We plan to include different pages on our website to include crew bios, behind the scenes photos (using frame grabs from the film), a contact option, and film synopsis.  After we complete all the assignments for our presentation for our final in FST 495, we'll be done with the class and have the option to continue working with this film.
