What production company would distribute my film?
My film is more of an independent film rather that a major film. This means that companies such as Universal and Paramount probably wont be interested in producing and distributing my film. However independent companies or online streaming companies might be interested. These companies are Netflix, Amazon Prime, Film 4 and Artisan Entertainment. Netflix distributed similar film such as 'Hush' and 'Invitation'. Amazon Prime distributed films such as 'It Follows' and 'The Conjuring'. Film 4 hasn't produced many horror films and so out film might fill a gap in their market. Finally Artisan entertainment distributed 'The Blare Witch Project' which was a student project. This means that they might be interested in distributing out film.
How would your film be advertised?
My film would be advertised on people's online streaming accounts such as Netflix and Amazon Prime. 'Friend' would come up on people's home screens and recommended sections. The websites track what people watch and so will advertise our film to people who they know will be interested.
With the rise of web 2.0, films are being distributed more on the web like I've shown above. The internet also uses cookies. This means that they can advertise other products such as films to people who they think might me interested based on their searches. This means that advertisements for our film would be more direct. Furthermore, people who are interested could follow the film's social media accounts like twitter and facebook. This will mean that they are always up to date and get inside information about the film. In addition, there can be blogs about films and online newsletters that get emailed to the subscribers with extra information. The internet is bringing the audience closer tot the film and so people are more engaged and active for further releases.
