Social Media

 We created an email for our social media called deceptionthefim@gmail.com. After that, we went to create our socials. We started out with Facebook which proved to have some difficulty. We could get my partner's name, Alex Kuroda, off the front of the page. We would have liked to have the film name for marketing purposes, but the film creator's name will do. We created Twitter with the user @FilmDeception. We noticed that we had to come up with different names for each account since some would be taken on other websites. The youtube page was also created under the name 'Deception the Film'. Even with Alex and I collaborating, we found to have a difficult time creating the Instagram page. Even with the fresh email we created to make the accounts, it said our email was already being used for an account despite us making one. We intend to fix this issue as soon as possible. Once all of the accounts we live, we wanted to create a description of them in order to tell our audience a bit about the film. We wrote, "Offical (insert social media name) for 'Deception', a student-created short film!" Of course, the last step of our social media journey was to upload all of the pages onto Wix, where our 'Deception' website was created. On this site, we embedded each social media into the website so our audience could easily find our socials. Social media is such an important attribute to marketing these days. With the ability to share, repost, etc. social media is basically free marketing for anything.

Since these are the more dialogue-based scenes, we had some difficulty nailing lines. First, we went back and rehearsed. Simply just sitting and repeating lines to each other. We found it is so hard to not giggle! After a few tries of that, and when we thought we had mastered the lines themselves, we went to go practice on the scene.  We started with the scene at home. We practice the lines again with my mom, who was acting as Elle's mom in the scene. After a few shots, it seemed as if we got the perfect shot. We noticed we were able to get the scene to flow more and get some more drama out of it. Then we went to film the opening scene. Alex and I practiced for a little while before. Because of our practice, we actually were able to finish the refilling of the opening scene quite quickly. ...

  Critical Reflection Questions How do your products represent social groups or issues? Our film, “Deception” lays into the ideas of complicity in our society. We all seem to just go along with everything around us without challenging anything. In our film, Alex and I wanted to make the audience step back, and think about how they are living their lives. Are they just playing into the illusion of control like our main character, Elle, or are they breaking boundaries and trying to go the extra step to living a unique life. At the end of our film, it is shown that Elle’s whole life was just a simulation being run by scientists, which is how Alex and I feel people are going about their lives now. How do the elements of your production work together to create a sense of ‘branding’? All of our methods of promotion, such as the website, social media, flyers, and poster all come together to capture and deliver the overall mood of the short film. Deception is a mysterious movie with a twis...
