An independent film distributor, such as Vertigo films, would have been best to film to help fund a film like ours because it’s only a small film and wouldn’t cost a lot.

How would we market our film?

We would use the internet to market our film and would use YouTube for people to view it. Through the internet we could do such things as create a website, which could include promotions, information about the film, trailers, etc.

Lots of people have access to the internet so it would be very easy for them to find our website and have a look through.

What film can we compare our film to?

When making our film we got a lot of ideas from the ‘Paranormal Activity’ franchise. It has a lot of similarities and was greatly aspired to.

The idea of a distributor and who that might be and why

The distributors are involved in the marketing of a film, which means they are the people that advertise and promote a film. They also work to get exhibitors and get it in as many cinemas as they can.

There are two types of film distributors: Hollywood and independent. Hollywood distributors are for the big blockbusters that cost a lot of money and are expected to have a big audience, while independent distributors are for lower budget films than expect a niche audience.
