Creative Critical Reflection #2

       For smaller films, a studio might introduce it slowly to audiences, maybe enter it in film festivals and into speciality theaters. The studios will track the attendance rates and decide whether or not they need to expand. If it were a larger franchise or big movie, a studio will want to release it into between 3-4 thousand theaters opening weekend so they can make the most profit the average three weekend profit margin. The studios will share the profits with the theaters. 

       With my product, Chloe and I thought it would be best if we submit our film into small film festivals. For non-big budget movies or small films, film festivals are a smart and beneficial way to get the audiences to watch and spread the word about it.

       There was also the idea of an interactive website. The horror movie "Carrie" created a website that people could go to and get Carrie's number. She would "call" them at random times and say creepy things or updates on the movie. This was very successful approach when it was first released. So, my partner and I would also create a website where it would have all the children bios who have mysteriously gone missing along with the history of the town's murders by a monstrous being. 

       To get in touch with the teenage to young adult viewers that our movie targets, the website would be a high school student who blogs about the mysterious disappearances of the youth from the town.
