CCR question #2

 Following-up from my previous blog post on my CCR questions, I talked about CCR question #2 and my plans and thoughts of how I was going to answer and describe the question and my film opening. Here is a follow up since I explained how I am going to format this video since I'm going to answer both CCR question 1 and 2 in the same video. Questions 3 and 4 are coming soon with new ideas...

To make this blog post, I have to list the question that I am going to answer, so the 2nd CCR question is: How does your project engage with audiences and how would it be distributed as a real media text?

After transitioning from question 1, I'll start talking about my audience that I would be getting my movie out too and then talk about how I plan to get the movie out to my audience.

Audience- 

The target audience I'm going to aim for is 16-34 year old's and people who are into psychosocial-horror films like the Shining and American Psycho.

From American Psycho(2000)

How I plan to get these types of people to my film?

I plan to market in both physical and digital distribution ways with physical I would put up flyers and host a meet-and-greet where I would have some of the actors which you can meet and tell you more about the film. With digitally, I would use mainly social media as that's a great way to get attention from people especially if they don't want to get up from there room to go see it. I would use TikTok, Instagram, and YouTube to promote the movie. I would put the trailer up on YouTube so people would get a better idea of what the film is going to be like while on TikTok and Instagram, I would post videos about the production of the film, the actors in the film, and some clips from the movie without spoiling the main point of it.

My production choices would engage with the audience because a lot of the scenes in my movie are dark, eerie, and create the horror aspect that you would want when seeing the film. There's some bloody scenes so the people will be warned before watching but I think the idea of the kid being traumatized throughout the film is going to get some people invested especially if they can relate to losing parents and not just at a young age. 

How I would make this available to my audience-

I plan to make this film available to my audience in lots of ways such as:

Streaming services- I'm going to get them onto streaming services by partnering with film distribution companies to help me get this onto streaming services. Some of the streaming services that I would want to put my movie onto is Netflix, Amazon prime video, Hulu, and as many as I can get them onto. If I add subscription services with this as well as getting my film out to as much streaming services as I can, I feel like my movie will become a big hit.

Online platforms- While streaming services is the main thing I plan to use, I can also utilize some online platforms like YouTube and Vimeo as some ways to get my movie out to more people

Social media presence- Just like how I plan to get people to draw attraction to my film from social media, I also plan it for a way to get people to my film. I'll set up dates and where my film will be released and where you can find it. This can help reach a wider audience and engage with some media outlets and journalists assisting me and building the public image of the movie more higher.
