ok so chapter 1 of the social media went well. We got all ten posts done and they all fit the character. the instagram username is @topspin.epic.movie go follow right now. As me and cooper went around getting the posts done we discussed the characterization of tennis guy. We determined that his drink of choice is a blue raspberry C4.Cambridge Portfolio

Week 6 Post 1: ive got a plan😎
okay so today Im gonna get with Cooper (tennis guy) and we're gonna get a bunch of the posts done. here's the outline.
so the instagram is going to be split into 3 chapters
CHAPTER 1: The Illusion
So these 10 posts will be made as if its the main character's instagram, and then at the last post of the segment he's gonna be like "i tricked you guys i'm a movie character" and he waves around the script.
CHAPTER 2: The Big Leagues
So he's gonna go around town promoting the movie in silly funny ways, I'm also going to sprinkle in some sneak peeks at scenes. Not too much of that though since I don't wanna spoil the whole darn thing.
CHAPTER 3: The Red Carpet
Were gonna use a green screen and pretend Cooper is on the red carpet signing things and taking pictures. And then he's gonna get into a fight with the paparazzi and go to jail. And it's gonna end with a post from the production company saying that they no longer associate with Cooper.
| here's a rough draft of what the final post would look like |
also the script is done------------> click on me!!!

Week 5 Post 3: AAAAAH I HAVE TO DO A SOCIAL MEDIA
Okay so my plan for the social media is for it to start out with it looking like tennis guy's personal instagram page, and then there's gonna be a post where he's like woah it's all a movie.
Im gonna do all the stuff where its his instagram the day we film the scenes in markham park.
Also.................................................................................. i got my camera mount to stick to a cabinet door.
| this is what the instagram will look like |
it for today

Week 5 Post 2: were NOT filming today
Ok so we're not filming today cuz pedro my equipment guy is not available. I wrote a scene in the movie where tennis guy argues with a guy in a fast food drive thru. uhhhhhhh what else. Im thinking about changing the title of the movie to Superstar, but idk. yesterday I helped mateo with his aftershock segment. yea thats it for today

Week 5 Post 1: wow its week 5 already
Alright, as I'm writing this its tuesday, Were shooting the first scene tomorrow sometime after 1:00. Pedro my equipment guy has his BECON TV interview and he'll pick up the boom mic then. Pedro's camera might be over 11 pounds which is the max weight for the suction mount. The mount can stick to my belly. If Pedro's camera doesn't work I'll borrow Nikita's camera. Were shooting the car scene tomorrow btw. Thats it for today
Alright now its the 18th of wednesday and its also my girlfriends birthday yaaaaayayaa!!!! So to begin today I went out to best buy to get an sd card. But when I went there they were all a bagillion gigabytes and all a bagillion dollars so I left and went to walmart. At walmart they had reasonably priced ones so I bought those and went home. I finished editing a video of my little brothers youtube channel which you should watch and subscribe LINK LINK LINK.I think the thumbnail of the video alone is enough to get you to watch.And then I gathered up the crew and we all went to Cooper's house to shoot the scene where tennis guy confronts evil tennis guy. Also we couldn't do the car scene cuz my actor for the friend couldn't make it. Cooper shaved his head last night so I guess my main character is bald now. I don't think it detracts from the film. I actually want to incorporate it into the opening credits. I want him to have "A Robert G. Collings Film" written on the back of his head. now that is a good idea. Pedro's camera is very good, blogger wont let me put in any videos so you guys are gonna have to trust me. but yea thats it for today stay tuned for more blog posts.

Week 4 Post 3: Lets get printy!!!
So for my postcard I think it would be funny if the postcard had a bunch of sponsors on it like a nascar car. I'm gonna run this idea by Ms Stoklosa because with my ideas, there's a fine line between brilliant and stupid, and I can't tell where this one is. I googled "short film postcard" and amongst all the posters for movies titled "postcard" the actual postcards I found felt lackluster. I want mine to be interesting.

Alright so this is the little mockup I did, I might switch up the front but I like the back
