Making the Postcard

                      For Ciaya and I short film I took the initiative to make a postcard for it. I used a website called Canva to create one. This was not my first time using this website, I've used it many times in the past. Therefore, I knew how to maneuver it and find things easily. The only hard part was choosing a theme for our short film. I wanted to go with something that gives a motherly feel and a light tone color. This is because the film is called Dear Mother and about a mother and daughter relationship. My image for the postcard is giving the feel like the daughter made the postcard for the mother. I wanted the potential audience to feel involved in the movie so giving them a postcard like this would do the job. I finally decided on a flower theme with a light pink color. I went with the flower theme because it gives a soft and caring feel like how a mother should be. The light pink color just brought everything together because that color usually represents the female gender. The front of the postcard is pretty simple because that is the first thing people see. I did not fill it up with a bunch of words because to most people all that reading is a turn off. I decided to just include a picture, the title of the movie, and a sentence telling what the film is about. It is short and straight to the point but also informational in the quickest way. Then, the back is also just like the front very simple. The less words and big paragraphs on the back is the better. This way nothing looks cluttered or overbearing. This way we can grasp people short attention span to be interested in watching the short film.
