1 Choose the right platforms

Not all social media platforms are created equal when it comes to displaying your film portfolio. Depending on your goals, style, and audience, you may want to choose different platforms to showcase your work. For example, if you are a cinematographer, you may want to use Instagram or Vimeo to share your stunning visuals and reels. If you are a screenwriter, you may want to use Twitter or Medium to share your scripts, pitches, and insights. If you are a director, you may want to use YouTube or Facebook to share your short films, trailers, and behind-the-scenes. The key is to choose the platforms that suit your niche, format, and genre, and optimize your profile and content for each one.

There are so many social media platforms and one size doesn't fit all, picking the right platform is essential to showcasing your work to the right audiences. Picking one or two platforms and focusing on optimizing your profile and content to fit with that platform will work more effectively than spreading yourself too thin trying to update on too many platforms. For example, if you are a videographer posting your content to platforms like YouTube will be more effective for showcasing your content in the best format.

The best thing about being a creative is how you can diversify your portfolio online. The beauty is taking one project & spreading your content accordingly. For anything you film, you can capture three things; finished product, BTS and you as a brand. Now how to post... Vimeo = cinematography. This is a great location to show your potential clients finished product examples. YouTube = educator. Mic yourself & showcase BTS; discuss lighting, cameras, lens, how you approach the day. Post a video of your process, geek out over gear. Short Form (TikTok, IG Reels, YT Shorts) = hypebeast! Fun & fast reels that mixes your finished product and BTS! Attract newbies, push clients to your Vimeo and creators to your YouTube. And add copy for SEO!

As an HR Professional I love to create Candidate Personas for Recruitment. With this technique you can not only identify, how your target group thinks, and what they want, but also how they like to be approached. Your target group shows you which platform to use and how they want to be approached.

I would suggest using Vimeo to showcase your video portfolio and LinkedIn for interesting articles and thoughts about work, which you can also combine with sharing your videos from Vimeo. Try to focus on maximum 3 platforms, the quality is the key, not the quantity.

2 Create engaging content

Once you have chosen your platforms, you need to create engaging content that showcases your film portfolio and attracts your target audience. Your content should reflect your personality, voice, and vision, as well as demonstrate your skills, experience, and achievements. You can use different types of content, such as videos, photos, blogs, podcasts, or live streams, to showcase your work and tell your story. You can also use hashtags, keywords, captions, and tags to make your content more discoverable and relevant. The most important thing is to create content that is original, authentic, and valuable for your audience.

Social media is saturated with capable filmmakers showcasing their work. The difference-maker for me is when that creative gives me a look beyond the camera. This could be as simple as some behind-the-scenes footage or some shorts of you talking about the creative approach to your work. Along with your product, show people you - your skill, passion, and personality.

Especially in today's approach to fast-create with AI, such as ChatGPT, it's crucial to stand out. Use AI to your advantage but make sure to customize and personalize your post. Give examples or underline your message with further information.

3 Connect with your community

Social media is not only a tool to display your film portfolio, but also a way to connect with your community and network with other professionals in the film industry. You can use social media to follow, interact, and collaborate with other filmmakers, influencers, mentors, or potential employers. You can also use social media to join groups, forums, or events related to your field of interest, and participate in discussions, challenges, or contests. You can also use social media to ask for feedback, advice, or referrals from your peers, fans, or clients. By connecting with your community, you can build your reputation, credibility, and relationships in the film industry.

Don't be afraid to connect, follow or even ask question. Use the power of social media to stay connected, congratulate, comment or engage in other ways with your community.

Show your area of expertise in action and engage. Comment on posts, create content yourself, initiate a newsletter... information is key, and if you provide useful pieces, people will notice.

4 Update and optimize your portfolio

Social media is a dynamic and evolving medium, and so should be your film portfolio. You should update and optimize your portfolio regularly to keep it fresh, relevant, and impressive. You should add new projects, awards, testimonials, or skills to your portfolio as you complete them, and remove or archive old or outdated ones. You should also optimize your portfolio for each platform, using the best formats, resolutions, and settings for each one. You should also monitor your analytics, such as views, likes, comments, or shares, and use them to improve your performance and reach.

Professional platforms like LinkedIn are part of your worklife. Next to the day-to-day activities that you might do on your social networks, I recommend to schedule a regular appointment - just for yourself but in your working time :) - for updating your profile, strolling in the feed to see, what's new and to interact with people you know.
