Your trying to produce a film, your
concerns are about getting the right
camera angles, actors and scene
locations or perhaps your seeking the
best cinematographer or executive
producer to take you to the next level,
right?

Allow Social Media fans to play a role with you
during your filmmaking journey
AMPLIFY YOUR BRAND
IMPACT OF
SOCIAL MEDIA
AMPLIFICATION
By allowing social media audiences to
engage with your brand you will find that
influential social media users will serve
as valuable connectors amplifying your
content via their networks of friends,
family, co-workers and those who have
common interests.
5. 2
Social Media platforms can act as digital information
sources validating your brand and increasing
presence to
BUILD CREDIBILITY
Billions of searches each day
are performed by people
using major search engines
such as Google, Yahoo and
Bing to search for
information.
When your website and
social media platforms can
be found with consistent
brand messaging and graphic
recognition it may allow
audiences (& Producers &
Casting Directors &
Cinematographers &….) to
trust and identify with your
brand.
6. 1
Social Media Audiences can help develop and
evolve your film ideas, just ask them.
CROWDSOURCE
Tim Burton, Judd Apatow, Ridley
Scott, Ron Howard…. what do
they have in common? They
have used new media tools &
social networks to connect and
co-create with audiences, and
their projects are capturing a
new kind of imagination.
Use social media audiences to
gather intel to make your film
more marketable, or perhaps
use your fans to help fund your
next film…
