Blog Post #28- First Instagram Post

I have started my social media marketing with my first post which is a casting call looking for actors. This is my first post because actors are very crucial for a film and I do not currently have any actors for my film besides my self. 

The casting call that I used for my first Instagram post has the logo to my studio in the top left corner. I did this so that individuals would know what studio is going to be behind the production of the new short film. The top of the casting call also has the title for my film and it has text that informs the audience that the new film will be releasing in 2026. In the middle of the casting call I have a large box of text that states "Actors needed!" for the purpose of immediately grabbing the viewers attention towards the idea that I am in need of actors for my film. Under this I have text that appeals to kairos because it lets the viewer know that there is limited time to audition for a position if they are potentially interested in being a part of the film. The casting call provides an ideal age range for actors and it also provides contact info for the viewer to have an idea of how to contact Mesa Studios to audition for a role within the short film.

I made the casting call using the application known as Canva. This proved to be very useful because the app was very user friendly and templates are available for people to use. I used a template from Canva to not start with a blank page and then I edited the text to correlate to the casting call and I inserted images such as the Mesa Studios logo. When I posted the casting call to Instagram, I made sure to include a description that is related to the post and hashtags that can bring more attention to my post.
