Creating a Hype.

I decided to write an article about our new exciting film and contact my local newspaper to see if they would print it. The Newspaper was very supportive and printed it for us last week!! The community now know about our film and how it focuses around the paranormal and history of the site. This will hopefully get them talking and asking questions. The good thing about a paper is that it has a very wide audience, therefore our film has now been advertised to a large demographic.

Most of our film is based around truth anyway, so we didn't have to make anything up about our film in the Newspaper. It seems completely realistic, which is good because when our film is now shown they will think that everything is true and even start believing the paranormal aspect to our film, which is our aim! As this is what will scare our audience and make our film a successful thriller film.

Now when we release posters, locals will recognise the film idea from the paper and this all enhances the 'believability factor' I think we are on our way to creating a very good buzz for the film, similar to a 'Blair Witch styled' hype.
