Keywords:

Make sure you are uploading your video or short film on YouTube or other websites, with appropriate keywords. Even though we have a renounced search engine, that could help the pecking process only with the title and description, keywords are still important. At some point these keywords will make sure that your videos don’t get lost among the other pile of videos.

Description:

Most people go through the description section before barging into the film. So this section adds clarity to your film, making a decision to the viewers that this film is worth watching. Make sure you give an apt description by giving justice to the film genre.

SEO:

Start by giving a good title, the chance of getting missed during searches is when you don’t give an appropriate title for your short film. The point of using your name in the title may not be necessary until or unless you are a famous person. If you feel that your name is googled commonly then you could use this for marketing purposes. Using the term ‘Short film’ and film genre in the title would be more impressive.

Storytelling in the article:

Writing an article about the film is quite more valuable while promoting. Talking about the ideas that popped up in your mind and what craved you to take this film will make people give a glimpse of the film. Moreover, giving good tips about your filmmaking process would be more effective. This would help other aspiring filmmakers to learn and also may add to your promotion.

Submission Portals:

The web can be a harsh place for all the young and aspiring filmmakers out there. Often your work will not receive the amount of appreciation that it deserves and it goes unnoticed. But talented young people are not missed and it is important that you learn from your previous experiences. For a filmmaker his ambition would be to get recognized by the top tier in the media and his submission is talked through and his work gets promoted accordingly.
