Creative Critical Reflection 2 Draft

Our new cast includes two guys for a darker theme. It is more known of guys to be dominating the field of video games so this helps appeal to them. The males we cast are teenagers so that this age range will be engaged within the film. This would give teens more of a motive to want to see our film, in that maybe they would be able to relate to our film in some aspects of the same personalities our characters would have. Our film does not relate to the older generation as much but we added props to help it. A television featured in many of our scenes would attract this older generation to watch our film.

Presenting our film as real text media is very important as filmmakers. Since we are an independent film, we will have to take a different approach in order to present our film. That will not be a problem for there are many platforms available to distribute our media content on as independent filmmakers. An example of a platform is YouTube. YouTube uses the videos you watch and recommends videos that are similar. After watching videos that are similar to ours viewers will be led to watch our own. This expands our reach even to people not specifically looking for our movie and will get us lots of publicity within the website.

Another example to help present our film as real text media is Gathr. Gathr allows theatrical distribution by letting filmmakers screen their films at Art Houses or Community Theaters. If you can get enough support and sell enough tickets then your movie is able to be shown. This is a very interesting way to get support for a movie, although it can be a lot of work to get it advertise, in the long run it will create a lot of exposure. This is ideal when showing our film because we will want as much exposure as possible. Gathr is a great way to do so and I really like the style that it would allow us to use.
