Hi, everyone! This is my DA pitch for BCM325.

My Digital Artifact will focus on how social media is used as a marketing tool for the film industry, and how this both aids and hinders how films are produced and promoted.

As pertaining to the week 3 lecture, I will use my research on past social media trends in relation to filmmaking and consumption to reasonably predict future consumer interests and trends in the next 1-5 (short term) and 5-10 (medium term) years.

Here is a rough production timeline I have planned for my DA:

There are also some articles that helped me formulate my idea, and that I could potentially use as research:

• https://digitalcommons.calpoly.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=1148&context=grcsp&httpsredir=1&referer=#:~:text=With%20the%20usage%20of%20social%20media%2C%20production%20studios%20will%20be,by%20building%20their%20brand%20awareness.
