Question 3

Distribution is where something is presented to an audience to try and sell the object. For example the new film 'Woman in Black' has been distributed by Hammer by creating a trailer of the film and it's now being presented on TV and over the internet on certain websites like Hammer's official website, youtube and other social networking sites like Facebook, Twitter etc. Because we are just students without any money, we would have to use something that we can use to distribute our film like youtube, social networking sites like Facebook and Twitter and possibly film festivals.

This is the logo for the Mayhem film festival in Nottingham.

This is a short video from the 2008 Bang Short Film Festival. This is another great place for students and other beginner directors to show their own creations of a film.

This is the poster for Friday the 13th (2009) and this is an inspiration for our horror film poster because it looks like what a slasher horror film poster should be. The killer wearing his mask with a huge blade in hand with a scary background.

This is the poster for Nightmare on Elm street (2010). What I think is good about this poster is how you can't see the killer's face and on his finger you can see a rather large blade. From how he's looking down suggests that he doesn't want to be seen which suggests that he's stalking his victims before he kills them.
