This is a Thriller opening produced by As Level students. Although this is a low budget film it still managed to gain popularity over the internet using sites such as "You Tube" to gain hits up to 1,700. This supports the idea that a low budget film can be distributed succesfully on the internet. The internet is often used to further distribution, market the targeted audience specifically and to help potentially reach a global audience.
Social networking sites such as 'youtube' 'facebook' and 'Myspace' are perfect examples to use as they are all globally used. 'Youtube' allows their audience to specifically search for what they need. Some younger students may aspire to the videos shown on 'Youtube' such as 'AS Thriller films' groups can be created where they can all share work and comment. This allows them to all have something in common.
As for our own film 'Hollows pond" distributing our films on 'Youtube' would be the most common way of trying to gain popularity. This is due to the fact of our target audience would be a user of 'Youtube' so therefore would enjoy searching for movies that are specifically targeted for them. Networking sites such 'Myspace' and 'Facebook' means you can create groups where you comment specifically on certain institutions.
