Critical Reflection

 The film Atelophobia was inspired by its definition.; The fear of being imperfect. This definition was entirely different that an obsessive compulsive disorder but sounded oddly similar. Atelophobia is an effect societal standards of beauty and intelligence have placed on humanity. This intense pressure to be the perfect partner, boss, and parent have all led to immense amounts of stress. In my film "Atelophobia "  it was emphasized how beauty standards affect our youth more than the older generation may see. This harmful ideology of beauty has caused children to feel ugly in their own skin. Atelophobia shows how Lola a girl struggling with an eating disorder, couldn't see her own beauty. how every time she looked in the mirror she found a nonexistent flaw in herself to get rid of. As the film progresses Lola was able to admire her beauty and become happy within her own body. Her smiles were now more vibrant and she tuned out the voices that once made her feel less than. 

A film about eating disorders can represent social groups or issues in a number of ways, depending on how it is approached and presented. For Example, it is great to shine a light on an often misunderstood issue. Eating disorders are complex mental health conditions that can be difficult for people to understand. Especially if they have never experienced one themselves. A film about eating disorders can help to increase awareness and understanding of these conditions. This can help to reduce stigma and promote empathy for those who are struggling. Examining societal pressures around body image is important. Its essential to protect our youth and provide room for growth . Particularly for young teens, societal pressures related to appearance and body image are frequently associated with eating disorders. These pressures can be harmful. A film about eating disorders might raise awareness of the ways that the current systems might be failing those who most need them.

The elements of production play a crucial role in creating a sense of branding for a film about eating disorders. By working together, these elements can establish a unique aesthetic and tone that communicates the film's message and reinforces its themes. Cinematography can be used to create a visual style that reflects the emotional turmoil experienced by those with eating disorders. Close-ups and handheld camera work can be employed to create an intense and personal connection with the audience. The use of color can also be used to reflect the emotional states of the characters, with warm hues used to reflect moments of happiness and cool tones used to reflect despair and hopelessness. Sound design can also be used to reinforce the film's branding. The use of a minimal score can help create a sense of isolation and vulnerability. Sound effects can be used to reflect the visceral experience of eating disorders, with the sounds of binging and purging creating a sense of discomfort and unease. Finally, the use of dialogue can help create a sense of empathy and understanding with the characters, allowing the audience to connect with their experiences on a deeper level. Production design can also be used to establish a unique visual identity for the film. The use of stark, minimalist sets can reflect the emptiness and isolation felt by those with eating disorders. Props and set dressing can be used to create a sense of unease, with distorted mirrors and other elements used to create a sense of disorientation and confusion Marketing can play a crucial role in creating a sense of branding for the film. Trailers and promotional materials can use imagery and messaging that reflect the themes of the film, highlighting its message and calling attention to the important issues it addresses.

The development of products can benefit from research on eating disorders since it offers precise data on the experiences of those who have these diseases. For instance, research can shed light on the effects eating disorders have on one's mental and physical health, as well as their intricate causes and various therapeutic approaches. This knowledge can be used to direct the creation of eating disorder-related goods that are more accurate, considerate, and educational, challenging stereotypes that might be unreliable or stigmatizing. By highlighting the detrimental effects of stereotypes and inaccurate depictions of persons with eating disorders, it can also challenge media industry norms.

Research on eating disorders can inform the development of products by providing accurate information about the experiences of people with these disorders. For example, research can highlight the mental and physical health consequences of eating disorders, the complex causes of these disorders, and the ways in which they are treated. This information can help guide the development of products that are more accurate, respectful, and informative about eating disorders, challenging conventional depictions that may be inaccurate or stigmatizing. It can also challenge conventions in the media industry by highlighting the harmful effects of stereotypes and negative representations of people with eating disorders. 

In terms of increasing awareness and fostering understanding of these diseases and their impacts on those who struggle with them, the subject of eating disorders in film can have a considerable effect on the audience. The audience's knowledge and comprehension of eating disorders can be improved by watching films that feature these conditions. Films that faithfully depict the struggles of persons who suffer from eating disorders can offer crucial information and education to a wide audience, many of whom have little knowledge or comprehension of eating disorders. This greater understanding may lessen stigma, foster empathy, and inspire people to seek assistance if they are dealing with an eating issue.

Films that feature eating disorders can emotionally affect viewers by inspiring empathy and sympathy for the characters who are presented on screen. Films can aid audiences in comprehending the intricacies and difficulties of eating disorders by depicting the physical and emotional hardships of persons with these disorders. As a result, there may be a stronger sense of empathy and support between the characters and the viewer. If the movie truly depicts eating disorders, it might encourage social change by promoting awareness and better support systems. In order to encourage more diverse and inclusive representations of beauty in the media, for instance, dialogues and action can be sparked by movies that demonstrate the detrimental effects of unattainable beauty standards on people. In addition to challenging social beauty standards, fostering empathy and compassion, and providing a more nuanced and sophisticated picture of eating disorders, a movie about eating disorders can challenge norms in a number of other ways. By encouraging empathy and understanding for those who suffer from these conditions, a movie about eating disorders can challenge stereotypes. Many people may not be fully aware of the causes, symptoms, and available treatments for eating disorders since they are frequently stigmatized and misunderstood. To overcome these obstacles and encourage better empathy and understanding among viewers, a movie that compassionately and impartially depicts the lives of people with eating disorders might be quite helpful.

#NotSoPerfect

 In order to publicize and expand the audience for my student-produced short film, I created an Instagram page. Choosing a handle that would be simple to remember and relate to the concept of the movie was the first stage. In addition, I picked a profile photo that would stand out and capture the mood of the movie. I took my time writing a biography that would provide a quick overview of the movie and its producers to potential followers. I interacted with other film-related accounts' postings and followed them in order to get followers. I shared behind-the-scenes images and videos with fans to give them a peek at how the show was made. To pique fans' interest and build anticipation, I also posted teasers for the movie. To make the posts more visible, I made sure to incorporate pertinent hashtags. 

I worked on creating content for the page with the cast and crew and urged them to share it with their followers. I used Instagram's story function to share still images and movie snippets. I interacted with followers by quickly answering their comments and mails. I monitored the page's performance using Instagram's analytics tool and changed my content approach as necessary. I made sure to post frequently to keep readers interested in the movie. I organized posts into categories and made a graphic chronology of the movie's production using Instagram's highlight function.

I organized a Q&A session on the page so that fans may ask inquiries regarding the movie and its producers. I launched a social media competition to entice fans to produce fan art and post it on the website. I worked together with other aspiring filmmakers to promote one another's work. To offer readers a sense of kinship with the movie, I wrote a series of pieces featuring each member of the cast and crew. Longer videos, like trailers and cast and crew interviews, were posted using Instagram's IGTV function.

I conducted a live Q&A with the actors and crew on Instagram using the live feature. To entice people to contribute their opinions and experiences regarding the movie, I made a custom hashtag for it. I polled my followers on potential posters and promotional materials using Instagram's polling tool.
