For our short film we want to have music in the background. But for us to be able use music from artists we will need their permission. I have been emailing artists and their managers for a while now, but nothing has come from it. So recently I just decided that maybe I would be better off messaging them on instagram. I just decided to use artists from my playlist and messaged them, about our film and asked if we would be able to use any of their songs. Sadly none of them have gotten back to us yet. I am mostly hoping for a response from Kali Uchis and Clairo because I really love their music, and I feel like it really fits with the film. I was really hoping to be able to get Billie Eilish music in our film because her song "my future" has the perfect vibes for our film. I think I might try twitter messages next and hopefully some more emails. I am quite upset that they do not check their emails very often, because this is really important to me, but I cant really be upset because they are extremely busy and probably get millions of messages a day.

Making a movie: reserving the rights

Marketing: Social Media style!
For the website we decided to make a new email, so everything for the film was under one umbrella. We then went ahead and started making social medias, so we could link them to our website. First we made our youtube account, where we will be posting behind the scenes videos. We decided to also vlog our fiming process so that people can watch and see what it is like to create a student short film. I am so excited to start filming so that we can vlog it. I think it will feel more exciting to watch the film, if you are also apart of the filming process. Next we made our instagram account, we folowed all of our other friends who are making films and ourselves, and the same with our twitter. Our instagram and twitter wont be as exciting as our youtube but we will try and make it as active as we possibly can. I think our facebook can be more active, with us posting our schedule and things,.

maeketing: making our website!
This week we started making our website! We fisrt had to choose a name for the film, because we had yet to choose one. At first we had thought about the name Carmen, because Carmen is a big part of the story. But then Nagual thought about the name her and her, but I did not really like that. So I was like ooh what if we make it her and her, but in a different language so it sounds better. We chose to make it in french because its the language of love. Then we went on wix.com and chose a template. We went through the film templates and chose which one we liked best. We chose a cute one with a deer, and a pink and mint green theme. Then we customised the themes and edited all of the preset stuff. We chose a yellow and pink theme. Then once we were done we sent the link to a few friends and let them decide if they liked it, and they all said they did!
