5. Our Film
 Me and my group would be classed as independent
film-makers as we are „amateurs‟ who have created a
low key, low budget film clip.

6. How would our product get noticed?
 There are two main ways in which our product would
be picked up by big production companies.
 One way is via film festivals
 Another way is through viral exposure or YouTube –
because of the technological advancements, the film
distributers have been affected. This way is easier to
get picked up by bigger production companies

7. What company might distribute our product?
 Due to our product attracting a fairly niche audience
(people who like thrillers), a company that specifies
in the area of the thriller or psychological genre will
be more likely to pick our film up as it would be most
effective to pick up a film of the suited genre because
it will be attracting the audience that likes the thriller
genre.
