Free Project: Uploading to the Website

In this post, I will detail the process of uploading the podcast project to the website.

To begin with, I went to Canva to create the two designs for the podcast project. I clicked on the previous project's presentation and created two new slides. First, I used a picture of my setup as the background then adding a light brown color and dark blue box to separate the two titles. In the light brown box, I reduced the opacity to around 93%, added the podcast title "Recently Watched" with Bukhari Script font sized 166px, a film graphic as a border, and an audio graphic. Then, on the dark blue box, I reduced the opacity to 93% as well, added the episode title with Bukhari Script font sized 91px and my name with Kollektif font sized 48px, a podcast logo which is a mic, and the film graphic as the border. Lastly, I added a white line to separate the two boxes. On the other slide, I put the dark blue box over the picture background, reduced opacity to 93%, added two film graphics, camera graphic, audio graphic, and a mic setup graphic.


Moving on, I went to my website's Gallery page. I again copied a section of one my projects and put it below the third project (Four Aprils). I changed the number to four, the title to Recently Watched, the description, and the image by clicking on it and uploading the first design from Canva. Then, I duplicated one of the project's pages and made it a subpage to the Gallery page, naming it Recently Watched Podcast. Lastly, I changed the read more button's destination to the podcast page.


Moving on to the projects page, I changed the image on the right to the second design in Canva, and changed the details of the project (title, project type, date, and description) as well as coloring the column background red with white text. 


Then, to add the podcast to the page, I went to Spotify, clicked on my podcast's share button, and then "embed show." I chose a darker background color, normal size, and copied the embed link. Back to the website, I went to Add Elements > embed HTML where I clicked on the box and pasted the link. I then went to Add Elements > Socials and put a social media bar, in which I edited it to only contain the RSS logo with the RSS link to my podcast. I put the RSS logo below the Spotify logo and colored the section background blue. 


Onto the mobile view, I first went to the Gallery page, making sure that it looked fine by comparing it to the other project sections above it as well as centering some misplaced elements.  


Then, on the projects page, I corrected the texts position, while also adding a line to separate the episode title and the description of the project. Moving down, I pulled down the section while also pulling down the compressed html box, while also moving the RSS logo to the top left of the section.


After checking for any errors in the buttons or the podcast player, I have completed uploading the podcast project to my website. Click on this link to see my website: Charlie's Film Journal. Next post will be a reflection post on the project.

Website Research: Hirokazu Kore-eda and Dany Cooke

Image
In this post, I will look into two websites by filmmakers and compare both of them. This research will help me on creating my own website by considering the use of colors, layout, typography, image, useability, navigation, and my overall thoughts on the website. I will be looking into Hirokazu Kore-eda and Dany Cooke's website, with both being filmmakers and quite experienced in the filmmaking industry. I would like to learn from two websites of two very different directors, with Kore-eda a 60-year-old filmmaker that is internationally known, and Cooke a young freelance filmmaker. Hirokazu Kore-eda's Website First off, I will talk about Hirokazu Kore-eda's website. From the home page, the website looks very simple, with a showcase of stills from his films. I noticed that his website only consists of Top, News, Profile & Works, as well as Message in the navigation, with the layout being centered and in a long bar. When I scrolled down, there is his twitter feed, news f

Website Creation: Gallery Page

Image
In this post, I will talk about the process of creating my Gallery page for my website. Because the layout of the gallery page already exists, I don't have to choose a template. The font I will be using Avenir. I began by editing the "My Gallery" section on top, then I wrote a short description on it as well.  Moving on, I moved on to the projects. I deleted most projects that the website has, and included my project, which is Grief & Loss Script, a 10-15 page long script on the theme of grief and loss. In it, I also included pictures of my script and my Milanote. In the future, I will be updating this project section with my progress on the script. After finishing the "My Gallery" desktop page, I moved to edit the mobile version. I changed the title to 24px and the description to 14px. I also tried to change the size of the project since it's too small, but after trying it, the size can't be altered.  With that, I had finished my Gallery page. Check

Reflection: Moments of Sorrow

Image
I gained an interest in theme of grief and loss through films and through my own concerns. I feel that the theme itself is very heavy, and is a challenge to write because of its complexity. However, I wrote this story for more personal reasons. I often thought about whether or not I will be ready when people I loved died, and how I will be able to move on from those moments of sorrow. As such, I feel that this is personally a way of preparing myself to face that fear. Along with this, I wrote this story because I want to not only understand the nature of grief and how it affects people, but of how we can move forward from an unforgettable loss of a loved one. As an aspiring filmmaker, I am very much eager to learn about all aspects of filmmaking, especially writing which I view to be the most important aspect of films as its often the core of the story and film itself. As such, this project has helped me to do more writing, especially in terms of having to fit the story into only 15 pa
