Since our group are making a small budget thriller, we would like to make as much money as we possibly can out of it. Therefore, advertising and marketing is crucial. I think it would be a good idea to release the film sometime in October as it is close to Halloween and more people will want to go and see it. We could use things such as convergence to help advertise our film. For example, we could get twitter, facebook and snapchat and release things on there that will get people interested, we could also host competitions to gain even more interest. 
Our film would probably be shown in smaller cinemas as it has a low budget and no big names star in it so big cinema chains such as Odeon and Vue would not show it, However, we would release the film on DVD and sell merchandise along with it.

After doing some research I discovered several film production and distribution companies. I decided to choose Vertigo Films, this is because they are produce a lot of low budget British films, which is exactly what our film would be.  They have made many different films over the past few years and a lot of them have different genres. 

However, they made WΔZ, which is a Horror Thriller, which is what our film is going to be. Watch the trailer below:

This is similar to our film as it involves a lot of mystery. A body is found with coding on it, and in our opening sequence, a body is trapped in a coffin. The trailer also focuses on the eyes a lot, which is what we planned to do in our opening sequence, Finally, there is the mystery of what the code means and why is the girl in our opening sequence in the coffin.

I think our film would be perfect for Vertigo. As I mentioned before, they produce low budget, British films, which is exactly what our film (opening sequence) is going to be. I also think our film would fit in great on their website:

Looking at the films that Vertigo have produced and distributed, I would say that target several different audiences, this is because they have a wide range of films that cover lots of different genres and obviously different types of people will like different genres. I think this is good because as a film and distribution company, they have a wide range of audiences. Meaning that if some of that audience see the film on the website and have liked all the other vertigo films, they will probably like this one and therefore brings in a bigger audience for our film.
