Production blog: Website and Postcard

 

Hi blog!! Today after many changes, we’ve finalized our film. Now, we will be creating the website and postcard for our mafia short film. We used Wix for the website, which made the process easier but still required a lot of customization to match the dark, cinematic feel of the film. I selected a template, added images, and adjusted the layout to avoid overcrowding the page. Writing the film's synopsis and ensuring it matched the tone took several drafts. Embedding the trailer was straightforward, but I had to make sure it didn’t slow down the site. I also worked on SEO, added sections for the cast and crew, and set up a contact page for festival submissions. While working on the website, I also designed the postcard, aiming for a simple yet striking look. I chose a bold image and made sure the text was readable by adjusting the contrast. The postcard included a QR code linking to the trailer and website. After finalizing everything, I distributed the postcards at screenings and events. Despite the challenges, it felt great seeing both the website and postcard come together to help promote the film. Bye blog!! I can’t wait to show the final product.
