Marketing our Thriller

Marketing a film is very important to improve its chances of success. For example if a very good film was produced yet it was not advertised then no-one who would have liked to see it would hear about it. We have decided upon two means of marketing our film.
One method is to create a fan page on the very popular social networking website 'Facebook' which means that many people can hear about the film and become a fan of it. We can then update them about the film and they can share the page with friends which widens its fan base. We have gained 21 fans quite quickly which shows how quickly the word can spread about our film and this means that we can keep the fan's updated about how the thriller is progressing. Here is a screenshot of the fan page:
















We also decided to create a poster for the film which is currently in creation. A poster is a very good means of advertisement for the film because they can be cheaply produced in large batches and dispatched around areas that meet the target audience. For example if a film was aimed at teenagers then it could be advertised in youth clubs or school billboards. A poster also gets people interested in the film because it reveals a little bit but not everything about the film so the viewer wants to see more.
