TRANSFER: SHORT FILM
KERRIE SLOPER
As a director I want to create a film that can make people smile or to provoke emotions in the audience from the connection to characters. I wish to create films where the audience become invested in the characters although they may not understand their motives, making them feel realistic and truthful to the World. Detail is important in vision and storytelling in my eyes, stories being an element where surprise can some to the audience and the visions impacting the story. My ambition for this project is to create a film in my own style and vision, using my own techniques to establish my style from others and hope to increase my skills and understanding of Media Production with all points in the industry. I plan to continue creating short films to make the audience invested in characters and hopefully bring the characters I've known for years existent and loved by other eyes.
Behind the scenes
PROMOTIONAL SOCIAL SITE
I created a promotional social site on Facebook for my final production to gather the audience's attention and to keep everyone up to date with the project. 'Website promotion is a collection of tactics, actions and techniques that serve to drive traffic (visitors) to your website.' -The Balance (2018)
Promotional websites are important as they are used to gain traffic about the film and to gain interest, widening your viewing audience and overall interest. This will help me determine the audience that is interested in the genre of this short film and to gather their attention, allowing them to gain hype and share this page to promote the film to their friends and family. With this it allows traffic towards the short film and to gain more interest than those of just the target audience, managing to branch out to secondary audiences that may enjoy your film.

I also designed a trailer website for this short film to promote it even further, this allowing people to watch the trailer beforehand. Unlike the Facebook page which gives updates on the project and hints to the story, this website is made to create hype to the audience about the short film. This allows them to find the website and watch the trailer before the short film is released.
To help design this website I looked at the Avengers/Marvel website to see a professional version before creating my own, making the website fit to a professional standard from better knowledge and understanding from looking at other websites and taking inspiration.
