George Freeman - Mimi Higgins - Stephanie Atupe - Freya Bishop Exhibition - Our film was exhibited for the first time when it was premiered at BFI Southbank, However the film was exhibited properly over various online movie viewing platforms where either paid memberships were required or films were hosted as pay-per- view. I believe the choice of deciding to exhibit the film online was one that allowed us to get closer to the intended demographic of teenagers and young adults which spend a large percent of their time connected via social media and the internet. These types of people do not always want to go the the cinemas to watch a movie so this one does not pressure them to do so, it is providing a quick and accessible way to showcase our film. Finance - Our film would definitely be considered a low budget film, as well as having to be qualified as a British film through meeting the criteria of ‘The Cultural Test’ assessed by the British Film Institute (BFI) this allowed us to receive the Tax relief along with funding from BFI. We also had to take out a small personal loan of a few hundred thousand to finance the production of the film as it was very difficult to attain funding from investors. Say why it was hard , no history of film, audience etc.... Distribution Plan - Our film was released in the month of October, the day before Halloween. This was a decision that was made due being the season of autumn and the forests representing those included in our product and being around Halloween would make people think about things along the themes of our thriller and the excitement of Halloween may encourage teenagers to want watch our thriller. The film was distributed directly digitally online to iTunes, Netflix and various other on demand platforms. Marketing Ideas - For marketing our film was mainly online to direct advertising towards an internet based audience as the distribution was also online. Social media was key in promotion the film with the trailer being shared online on various accounts made for the film, months prior to the release to build up the followers and allow people to share the trailers and promotional links. An official film website was also produce and linked people to all possible viewing platforms so they knew what they could watch it on if they had accounts for one of the platforms. Premier at BFI Southbank as support from BFI towards the film release. Distribution Company - Our film was self produced and this is the equivalent to a small independent company in terms of film. We did not include a fake production company in the credits however, It would be closer to the likes of Bright Cold Day Films, Bedlam Productions or Warp Films. These are small independent British film production companies that have made thriller films, For example, Bedlam Productions is a British production company which produced a psychological thriller called ‘Exam’ which was small scale and they have not produced many other films.
