Different methods of marketing for films

The marketing methods i can remember from today are viral, books, film websites, posters, merchandise, toys and games, trailers documentaries and video games.

Today i learned that some film marketing methods are suited to particular audiences. foe example: creating a video game full of violence for a film is best suited to a film whose audience is 16+ and are interested and like video games.
A book would be good form of marketing and is best suited to those for like reading and comparing books and films. It would be for mainly girls if the book is a romance or love story.

Today i learned that some film marketing methods are suited to particular genres of film. For example: having a trailer for a film is best suited to horror genres as it offers a sneak peak and a glimpse of the movie.

low budget marketing campaigns

A Low Budget Film Might Have:

  • low-budget film is a motion picture shot with little or no funding from a major film studio or private investor.
  • Not Much Money
3 Low Budget Films 

Paranormal Activity- was a low budget film and here is its film poster

The most profitable movie of all time is a true outlier. With just $15,000, the visionaries behind this project created a movie that took in a worldwide gross of almost $197 million, a staggering percentage return of over 655,000%.











  • Rocky- Was A Low Budget Film Here Is The Film Poster 
Why do you wanna fight?” says Adrian. “Cause I can’t sing or dance,” replies Rocky. Perhaps this exchange epitomizes the reason for the classic boxing movie’s success and overwhelming cult status. It provided a cinematic classic for a largely male audience who needed a hero; one that wasn’t heroic because of his moon walk or falsetto, but for his fighting spirit. With a budget of $1 million, Rocky notched up an impressive worldwide gross of $225 million, giving a percentage return of over 11,000%. Knockout.



  • Halloween- Was A Low Budget Film Here Is The Film Poster 
It was 1978, the year when one of the legends of the horror genre was released into the world. Michael Myers was arguably the foundational figure in the canon of “slasher” icons of Hollywood, but the movie received mixed reviews when first launched, with some critics arguing that his character was far too one-dimensional. Nevertheless, in proof that character depth is not necessarily the key to success, cinema-goers loved the film. Halloween grossed $70m from a modest budget of $325,000, providing a return of almost 11,000% and leaving in its wake a tradition of over-the-top gore that survives to this day.
