Research
My last assignment for this project is the Press-Kit. Since we plan to submit the film for festivals, the press-kit will be useful for that.
I consulted with several websites to figure out what best to do for the press-kit.
I found some from possible templates that could be used. The vast majority of images that I thought looked the best were from Canva and after another search for top press kit making sites, I found that Canva was a popular choice, as well as Photoshop, Illustrator, and a few websites: Strikingly and StudioBinder.
When searching for concrete examples, I managed to find some films that had their press kits online.
Some elements that I took from these that I liked was lots of graphics and tons of visuals. There seemed to be only a few things in common between them all which made it difficult to find what was most important.
I asked a friend of mine who had made a press kit for her senior capstone and she was kind enough to show me what she put in hers.
In the end, I decided on including the following things into the press kit:
Director bios
BTS photos
stills from the final film
pictures of the virtual set
the cast and crew
log line and synopsis
info about the process
images of the design in process
I'm going to create a checklist of things that I will need from other people in order to complete this. If I become too busy, I have told Luis what my plan is so that he can take over if my job during break becomes too much.
