Social Media Accounts

In order to promote our film, we created a Facebook page and a Twitter page. Using social media can be a good, free way to reach more potential audiences and get people hyped and talking about the film. On social media, pages can be created for upcoming films in order to give a variety of different information to the audience, such as potential release date, insight into plot, and behind the scenes material. After the film has aired in the cinema, the page could also be used to promote the release of the film on DVD/Blu Ray and the soundtrack on CD. Here are some examples of blockbuster films on social media:

Here is the Facebook page for the book to movie film, Me Before You.

Here is an example of the way that Facebook has been used in order to promote a screening event to see the film before general release at the cinemas. The post includes links to the event, and the film poster, which also includes the date for the general release of the film.

Another example of the use of social media to promote an upcoming film is T2 Trainspotting:

Here it can be seen that there is a variety of different information available on the page, including release date, tag lines and plot details, video trailers and links on how people can purchase tickets to see the film when it is released in the cinema.

Therefore, we have created Facebook and Twitter pages for our upcoming short film, Haunted.

 

Here is the Facebook page in order to promote the film, which includes a general plot line overview, a release date estimation of 2017, and links to other social media for the film.

In order to draw the audience in into potentially seeing our film when it released, we upload sneak peaks of the production to the Facebook page, in order to create hype. Here is a recent entry of behind the scenes photos.

We also created a Twitter page for the film too, which includes links to our blog, brief information about the production company and the film, and additional behind the scenes photos, in order to allow the audience a sneak peak.

Here is a tweet on the Twitter account showing a peak into the editing process of our film to potential audiences.
