Marketing My Thriller Film

Marketing is a very important aspect that needs considering when producing a movie. The more viewers you are able to attract, the larger the revenue will be. It is also important to keep within the budget in order to keep profit at its highest, and not waste money.

The key to making someone want to watch your film, is making the perfect trailer for it to be advertised, without any visuals of your movie, it'd be impossible for the target audience of that production company to even become remotely excited without it already being a known series already, and as this will be my first film just writing text will not be enough.

One of the best resources for advertisement is commonly not looked upon as being useful, because of the amount of other videos on the streaming service but YouTube being the largest streaming service in the world is the perfect place for any start up movie producers as it is free. meaning that the only thing needed to publish your movie for advertisement is a YouTube account.

Another popular service for those not willing to spend money is kick starter this is a project driven website made entirely for those who want to build projects but don't have to money to do so. Kick starter allows users to make videos and put them up as a type of advertisement, where generous people can pledge money towards your cause as you attempt to reach your goal of money, this allows the increase of budget when trying to pay for more expensive methods of advertisement such as using billboards or television ads.

Possible Fonts

Small details make a big difference when making a title for the film, when writing is slanted and has pointed edges this normally hints at a horror film, this may also be presented by colours of the text, which make all the difference when trying to establish what you want your audience to think, I'll provide some common examples that will present this way of thinking.

An example of horror:

 

Looking at this image it's easy to tell it's a horror because of the background being dark, and the text in general saying 'house of the dead' the way the font shows this is by making the edges of each letter sharp as though a point weapon, and the merge between red and black to present a type of blood in each of the letters presents this effect without the audience having to pay too much attention to this blend of colours. 

 

An example of a Thriller:

 

 

 

Thriller movies are different from horrors in the way they present their movies, it's a more mysterious, problem solving aspect and by doing this I believe by adding the perfect background the text almost becomes transparent, and example of this may be shown by the title for the movie 'Inception' a movie all about trying to deceive others through smart ways of manipulating the brain.

As shown by the image above, the background of the maze forms the words inception by leaving spaces in the middle. This is a smart way of making a title and just shows how complex the movie is going to be even before watching it.
