Our decisions on the promotion of our short film 
  • As a group we decided that we are going to promote our short film through: YouTube, Facebook, Twitter and this blog. 
  • Firstly we decided to drop the other options so that we could focus on these 4 sections of our promotion
  • We came to the realization that Facebook is effective because we can post our film onto our news feeds, which means we can retrieve feedback from friends and their friends, this broadens our viewings. 
  • Again we are using twitter to in the same way that we are using Facebook, however a post on twitter can be open to all, meaning anyone can watch our short film. 
  • YouTube is our best option though, as people searching online to watch short films will be able to search our video on most search sites through YouTube, meaning anyone world wide can watch our short film.
