Question number two of CCR

Before I talk about how I'm going to answer question two, I feel I should break it down a little. Question two for the CCR goes over audience engagement and how the film keeps the audience engaged and interested and how the film will be distributed if it was a real piece.

Question two for the CCR is:

How does your product engage with audiences and how would it be distributed as a real media text?

For the first part of this question, on how my product engages with audiences, my film opening was meant to create an immersive emotional impact with the audience. The main character is supposed to be relatable as my film goes over a topic that is difficult to explain, therefore seeing a character like the one I was going for can cause the audience to relate to him and engage with the film. My opening consists of contradicting colors when it comes to lighting and this also engages with the audience because the colors are meant to represent feelings in the film making the audience understand the underlying feelings behind his interactions and how he feels in each scene. 

If my film opening was a real media text I would most likely post a trailer of the film on a social media account that would be dedicated to my productions. The reason I would do this would be for the piece to get traction so when I release the film for people to watch at a film festival for example, it gains a larger audience. Also, I would want to release it at a film festival since I would be an amateur creator and would not be able to put the film in movies on my own.
