EVALUATION Question 3&4: What kind of media institution might distribute your media product and why? How will you attract/ address your audience?

How we would launch our low budget student film.

The type of media we would use would be the world of the internet which would include websites such as youtube, vimeo and facebook amongst other social networking sites, making the thriller film go viral.

Furthermore, for the types of magazines which could promote the film includes empire, total film , vertigo, Little White Lies and maybe even BFI sight and sound as they all support independent films which would include ours. In addition, other newspapers and magazines which could help promote our film are bright lights, film threat and kamera because they specialise within the independent film industry.

We think that the film maker mag would help give us pointers on how to do effective promotion and distribution for our film if we were stuck for ideas.

For the type of cinema's that could show our film (under the assumption that it was successful when shown at th

e screen on the green in Angel) would be other independent cinema's such as The Curzon which has many outlets such as the one in Soho (see below).

Another cinema which could have been the Greenwich picturehouse which specialises in independent films and has many other outlets apart from the one situated in Greenwich. These are just some of the cinema's where the film could be shown. We think that our film would be most suited to independent cinema's rather than mainstream cinemas such as Odeon, Vue and Cineworld because it is such a low budget film and it would need a guaranteed big gross profit to make it at those kind of cinemas.

This student film that i found was made for a A level project on a very low budget and has had 4,865 hits on youtube so far. youtube has been used to show people globally his short film and with more hits the more people are likely to watch it.

i think like this film my film would also be released onto you tube and on to vimeo , from the post a few people will see it and hopefully more , by word of mouth my thriller opening will be seen by many more people globally and will grow in popularity . through the cinema screening that we had at the screen on the green more students around the college saw the film and told there parents or friends about the film and it finds new ways to be talked about and grow in popularity.
