Film Festival
Film Festivals attract masses of people to them each time one is presented.
Festivals like the Cannes Film Festival, Venice Festival and the Berlin Film Festival are
considered the ‘big three’
The Cannes Film festival averages around 80,000 goers as its meant attendance but it ends up
around 230,000 (which is 3 times of the population).
These festivals provides the director to show off his/hers brand new ideas and how they have
gone about it and it also allows them to instantly see the reactions of viewers and you can
easily then get some instant feedback from those you may see as peers or friends and family or
you can ask the people who pay to come to these festivals so then your not getting just
professional views.
My chosen format was photography so yes it’s not exactly a film but the ideas and how popular
these festivals are provide a big area to cover and find not only feedback but those instantly
reactions and views on your work.
To create something to fit into this I would show off my process of working through the project
while having a voice over describing the stages and how I felt by the end and how in my eyes
everything throughout had gone.

Social Media
Social Media has rapidly become a changing factor in the world with everyone (if they’d like)
been able to create a free account and follow their friends, post funny things or pictures from
holidays and so on.
Places like Facebook and Twitter are places where you can more post your views on things and
respond to world matters whereas Instagram and Snapchat are more laid back, fun and for you
to show off and have fun with friends.
Social Media also plays a role for my target audience because the younger generation are more
involved with the social media so using social media gives me another link with the target
audience but it is also something I am more used too and something I myself use and
understand.
The big question is which social media platform would be best to show off my kind of project
and feel like its getting the most attention and views but mainly on the platform which really
shows it off the best and doesn’t make some parts look better than one (e.g. One picture clear
and easy to view and then the next been blurry and not easy to view)

Social Media Platform
I believe the best platform of social media for me to present my work would
be Instagram. Instagram is the social media platform that was mainly created
for the use of showing off pictures and allowing your friends to see the
adventures, achievements you have accomplished and wish to show off.
Instagram is also one of the platform that you see more people from ages 18-
25 whereas Twitter is more older because it’s been around longer but Twitter
would provide a bigger viewing audience across any ages groups.

6. Presentation/Exhibition
After looking into the different ways I could present my work I decided to go
with an in between and created a twitter account.
With Social Media having such a rapid rise and each year it becoming more
popular and me knowing I have a target audience for the project its easy to
pair them all together and start going from there.
Twitter also provides a platform where you can have any group viewing your
work and obviously for me I want to present the work in the strongest way.
Twitter is one of the older social media platforms but it is a big one and is one
of the platforms which is used the most.

Twitter Account

8. Presentation/Exhibition
This account not only is presenting my work but it provides me the base to give out information about
the exhibition booklet I created and a real exhibition if I went ahead and created one. It would also
allow me to post pictures of the exhibition (if it was created) and if it was a success and the reaction
both in person and on social media was positive it provides that base to build from and plan for the
future or maybe plan on running the exhibition again for those who missed out on the first one.
Audience
Twitter is also extremely easy to navigate so this helps me not only know that this is getting viewed by
the correct audience but it is also getting reviews from others as well. Feedback is extremely important
and this booklet I have put together does deserve some reviews from not only my target audience but
everyone who would view it and provide feedback.
Why this and not a film?
Working with photography and seeing how popular social media is and how much photography is
posted across all platforms of social media they both make a lot of sense to be linked together. Social
media also helps me more in something I feel most comfortable with and something I believe I can
create to a high level and provide my final work the best way to be shown off and presented to
everyone. Social media also provides me with no certain time frame I need to follow like those of
creating a film and following that schedule. Twitter allows me to be in control and post when I want to
alert people of changes and new information about an in person exhibition or some new online
information.
