Postcards and stuff

 I lowk just realized we dont have much going on with the postcard, and since my team members are being useful, I too will be useful.

So first lets get some inspo

Btw guys im doing this before our postcard lesson so really im trying to figure out the conventions before they're taught to us.

This example postcard has an appealing image on one side, probably the film poster or something related, and then on the back it has the name, a short quote (probably from the film), Director and showtimes.

This postcard also has a QR code for a "private viewing on vimeo"

Finally, it has contact information at the bottom, which includes director name, adress, phone number, email, and social media handles.

Again lemme make it clear Im not sure if ts is right at all, so please just let me embarass myself.

Second inspo postcard

Okay so this postcard has a few similarities to the last one, The name of the film is clearly visible, contrasting with the background. The production companies are named at the top, the director is named at the bottom right. Theres appealing imagery on the postcard (less focused on this one though). What is different about this postcard is the various awards being mentioned. The other postcard did not do that. Lastly, the credits are listed in the bottom left. Also, this postcard is NOT double sided, like ours is meant to be.

Okay so what I've derived from these two postcards is that our postcard needs to have the film name (whats our film name again??) placed extremely visibly onto the card, we can arguably have the majority of the credits on the back. My team as a group decided on trying to make our postcard look like a business card, so I'll look into that. We could include a short quote on the front, and maybe also have a QR code (fake or not it doesnt matter). Lastly, on the back we can probably put some awards or whatever (can we do fake awards? I gotta ask next class).

Okay now i'm just gonna look for business card images and stuff

wait this is lowk a goated example, we can change it to be like red and have Annie Christian's name on it, and then just put the credits and stuff somewhere on the back (or we could have Annie Christian's name on the front and keep credits and stuff specifically on the back).

Okay lemme create an example on canva real quick

So this is very rough but its the original vision we had, and I hope to expand on it more when we get the lesson on postcards!

As for now...

Bye guys!
