This Thriller Opening Sequence by AS Media students from Liverpool was uploaded onto Youtube in April 2009. The video has had nearly 2000 views and has recieved good feedback through its comments. The choice to upload the video onto Youtube has helped to atrract a wider audience and has been successful in doing so. Online video hosting sites such as Youtube and Vimeo are great for sharing/promoting/releasing amatuer and low budget movies because anyone in the world with internet access will be able to view it. Amatuer low budget films are also not very likely to be commercial or profitable so there wouldnt be much dedication to promote/advertise through TV ads, posters, flyers etc, and these type of websites can help by showing your video as related videos to ones already on the internet.
Our film was produced under a low budget and we will take the same route as the AS Media students who have chosen to use Video Hosting Sites to release their film because it has been successful in attracting audiences. We will also have a cinematic screening amongst our peers at the 'Screen on the Green' where we will be able to recieve feedback as well.
