Social Media- The Long Goodbye

 The Long Goodbye is a short film that was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Short Film of 2022. It shares the story of an immigrant family in Britain and the extreme consequences that hate speech and racism can lead to. 

Like Coda, the short film I researched in a previous post, The Long Goodbye's Instagram handle also includes something that hints at it being a short film. For example, Coda's Instagram handle was "Codamovie", while The Long Goodbye's handle includes the word "short" in it. 

First Post

Unlike Coda, however, The Long Goodby's first Instagram post was made after it already gained popularity from festivals and was available for streaming. This decision is important as it completely changes the type of posts that they have on their Instagram as compared to Coda's Instagram which began posting on the first day of filming. 

Some of the content in TLG's Instagram that differ from that from Coda's include


Trailer Montage clips             Critic Reviews      


 Director Interviews     Stills from the film + director quotes
 
Though I think I am gravitating for an Instagram layout more similar to that of Coda's, researching this short film account provided me not only with a different perspective but also different ideas that I can try to incorporate with my own social media.
