I'm proud of the film I've made, after many storyline revisions, my narrative finally tells the message I wanted to provide. When I had originally drafted my narrative, there wasn't much of a point to the story. I think by having the main characters involved in a terror attack it reinforced media stereotypes rather than reduce them. Instead, my story is now framed around the destructive effects of mass media.
After showing others my film, I've received positive feedback. Moreover they understand the deeper message. It's also been nice to hear that others have noticed the little details that I've used and to appreciate the hard work that I've put in.
I've made the YouTube video public for anyone to watch and added a lot of tags to increase its potential at being viewed. I would also like to upload it to Vimeo, as this platform seems to be more for filmmakers. However I would either need to convert my video into a smaller file size, or upgrade my account to the Premium version. If I did this I could submit my film to other websites which host short films, such as Short of the Week.
