Hello again. Apart from already having conducted my own research on short film postcards, we also went over some more conventions last class. I learned that the cards are size 4 x 6 in., double sided, and can be either horizontal or vertical. They also include the title, key art, director's name, social media information, film festival/awards, and the the date, time, and location of streaming.
When looking for more examples, which there are very few of, I found several that include these key elements. I realized that most examples feature a fully-colored character contrasting a dark background, which is something that we were planning for our postcard as well.
We had originally planned to illustrate a postcard featuring Diego's face in the dark, lit up by his computer screen, with his glasses reflecting the image of a monkey. We thought that this would be funny, while also creating intrigue about the plot. Yet, we fear that this focuses too much on the monkey aspect, and doesn't provide an accurate representation of the plot. We also drafted an idea for a vertical postcard that imitates a phone, and we could use this to further present the social media aspect. Updates to come soon.
