Our media product is a low budget film opening made by amateur film makers and amateur actors that no one have heard or seen before so in terms of distribution it is best to start off small by distributed on the internet to get going and building upon that. Sites like YouTube allow you to create accounts and this gives you a “channel” for you to post any videos you choose. This is a great way to get your video out to the public as millions of people use YouTube everyday.
From YouTube there are various social networking sites that help to advertise and distribute products that you choose. An option on YouTube allows you to upload videos onto sites such as MySpace or Facebook allowing you to distribute further so that other people such as friends can see your product(s). Normally small unsigned music bands use these social networking sites to get their music across to the public but this can also be applied by people in the short film industry and sites like MySpace promote this well. Fully customizable pages help to create a page that suits you best and helps audiences get attracted to the product you are selling. Once a few people are noticing your work on these social networking sites, they can suggest your page to other people. Eventually this builds up to a bigger fan base and this is when you start to get noticed for your work.
I think that YouTube is the most suitable for our media product as it has no budget and it is easy to use. As we our not continuing to make short films, maybe Facebook or MySpace are not the best options because they are for people who want to get their work noticed so they can carry on to do more of the same work.
