Preliminary Research: Social media

 Now I'm moving on to the social media minor task, and researching some horror film official social media pages. 

SOCIAL MEDIA Minor Task: Inspiration Text One- The conjuring Official Instagram Account

Details: @theconjuring – official Instagram account  

Conventions: Pictures/videos of either promotional items or information.

Tropes: Social media that has behind the scenes, funny moments with actors/ social media trends or dances done with the actors, interview clips with actors, parts of trailers.

Clichés: Promotional items that ask you to buy things, or overwhelming advertisements.

Takeaways: Since the first  conjuring movie originally came out 10 years ago there hasn’t been much activity for the 1^st conjuring movie, but there has been some for the movies the came after it like The Nun, Annabelle, and the 3 other conjuring’s. The account has been throw backs but when it comes to promoting one of the recently released conjuring universe movies it shows trailers and casting calls.

SOCIAL MEDIA Minor Task: Inspiration Text Two- The Nun Official Instagram Account

Details: @thenunmovie – official Instagram account

Conventions: Pictures/videos of either promotional items or information.

Tropes: Social media that has behind the scenes, funny moments with actors/ social media trends or dances done with the actors, interview clips with actors, parts of trailers.

Clichés: Promotional items that ask you to buy things, or overwhelming advertisements.

Takeaways: Since the Nun 2 came out less than 2 months ago in theaters there has been much more activity than the other 2 inspiration texts, and some of the content has been stats of how well the movies doing(#1 movie in the world), videos from other creators drawing the movie, trailers, where to find tickets, teaser visuals, and other promotional content.   

SOCIAL MEDIA Minor Task: Inspiration Text Three- Nope Official Instagram page

Details: @nopemovie – official Instagram account

Tropes: Social media that has behind the scenes, funny moments with actors/ social media trends or dances done with the actors, interview clips with actors, parts of trailers.

Clichés: Promotional items that ask you to buy things, or overwhelming advertisements.

Takeaways: Since the movie came out last summer there hasn’t been much activity when it comes to promotion, but scrolling back it has many promotional posters, pictures from set, small teaser trailers/pictures, and small interviews with the cast.
