Drawing the forest


I initially wanted to do the drawing style to be quite angelic then turn to look darker. So I began to draw the light forest in this way, however it just didn't seem to look how I wanted it. This is when I decided that I wanted the whole video to look very sketchy and unfinished. So, I re-drew the light, then made the dark side. I used the same initial drawing to make both forests just didn't colour in the dark side. For the dark side I decided to make it so it was going from light to dark, with the darkest part being the middle of the picture, I did this because it showed that he was leaving the light and turning towards the darkness (depression).

What is social media marketing? You have to set a goal for your marketing campaign. One thing is brand awareness, this makes people know the thing that you have created. Engagement allows you to get feedback and a customer base. Sales, in the long run you want to create a bigger customer base.  Different platforms. Tailor it for the different platforms, Facebook is unprofessional and friends, personal. LinkedIn is professional, impersonal, job. Twitter is for brand and celebrity engagement, games, challenges, simple, public interactment. Snapchat is temporary, filters are interactment. Instagram is about engagement, tutorials, etc. YouTube is for creating a fanbase, monetary gain, is an in-between social media, has to be used in conjunction with other ones.  Context images> text interactive/links videos are shareable. Link to specific site and specific area, make sure it’s not too wide of a range. Create it to be specified so people know exactly what you want from them.

Final storyline

So I changed the story line so that it would make sense with my new story boards. The idea is that he is within his own mind and begins in a happy forest, and sees a pretty flower, goes to touch it and it dies and everything turns dark. This is his depression in his mind. He then runs towards the darkness because as it says in the lyrics 'I threw myself with trust in me but why am I being hurt', which means that he trust himself so he follows what his brain shows him, even though it is leading him deeper into depression. There is an image that shows him walking through a black hole into the black. Then when he is in the darkness, he is shown to clutch his head, then he slowly fades into a dark outline. Then a montage of white silhouette on a black background, this is him giving into the depression. The chorus starts now, which begins with 'Ahh' then the words 'My head hurts'. The second half of the chorus how's him falling, defeated by the depression.

For the final edit I put all my footage from Aftereffects into premiere pro. To get a clear understanding of where I wanted everything to be placed and when I decided to write the lyrics and timings for them on some paper, then listened to the song again to pick times for everything
