In my press pack I will be adding a synopsis of the movie storyline. I have already wrote a synopsis, it is on one of my wix blogs.
There will be a section where there is a bio for the director of the movie, which is myself. In the bio I will talk about my ambition in life is to create a thriller movie.
In the next one, there will be a section where there is a bio about each actor in the movie. They will talk about previous movies they have worked on and how this movie allows them to expand their acting abilities and let them do something unique and new.
Next will be a fact sheet about certain details in the movie. Such as; the length of the film, some locations where we filmed, how long production of the movie took and credits.
In between each section, I will show a still from the movie or from behind the scenes.
Quotes and statements, such as from the director about their inspiration, what went well, what message they want to get across and so on.
We will then see a couple film posters and the trailer for it. There will also be a social media page for the film and merchandise.
It is important to plan out what I am going to do on my press pack. This is because it helps manage time and collate all the sections together.
Page One
For my first page of my press pack, I wanted to add my films movie title on. So I temporarily edited my final movie poster by moving the release date underneath the title so that it can be seen on my press pack. I used the snipping tool to capture the title, release date and tag line all in one. The youtube logo is the link to my trailer.
Page Two
On the second page and throughout the rest of my press pack, I used stills from the film. I screenshotted some of them from my trailer. Others are from when we took photographs around college to use for the poster.
Page Three
The third page is a directors bio. I explain who I am by describing myself as an actual director. To make it more realistic, I added a quote by myself talking about my passion as a director. The photograph of myself was taken in Runshaw College.
Page Four
This page is about the cast and the characters they play. The character backstorys add alot more depth to the story and the world this film is set in. Most of the things said about the actors arent entirely true but are said to make this film seem like an actual movie thats coming out.
Page Five
Page five is a film fact sheet. These facts include the films runtime, locations where we filmed and the production length. When talking about where we filmed, I couldn't just say Worden Park. This is because I have to imagine the person reading my press pack might not be from Leyland or near here.
Page Six
This page is full of ways of advertising the movie. From posters in train stations to magazines to coffee shops. To make the coffee cup, I used https://mediamodifier.com/mockup/paper-coffee-cup-mockup/7981. To make the rest like the magazines and billboards, I used https://photofunia.com/results/6284f313fe31e2d9a28b4572.
Page Seven
The final page of the press pack are social media pages made for promoting my movie. This is because in modern times, everyone uses social media. So this is a smart way of promoting it, considering that its on streaming services as well. I have social media pages for Twitter, TikTok and Instagram. Twitter is used for talking about upcoming movies and television shows, more than TikTok and Instagram. But those two are very popular amongst young people. I used media modifier to make the social media pages and posts;
