In our film The Neighbor , it engages with our target audience, which is teenagers and college students of the age of 14-23. Our film engages with our audience because our film relates to real life people and teenagers and how they act and interact with each other. We planned to create billboards, interviews, and social media tactics to entice our target audience to view our film in distributing our movie. In doing this, our audience can follow updates and information on when our film comes out and who is starring in it. One way in which we tend to distribute our film is by putting up billboards. In doing this it will advertise to everyone since mostly all people drive and ones who necessarily cannot are still riding in a car, meaning that almost everyone around the world can see these billboards. In billboards around the world, movies are advertised by placing an enticing picture of the film, which is what we would do to advertise our film. Large billboards can attract...

In our film, The Neighbor,  we utilized conventions such as costumes, camera shots and angles, fonts, and incidental music. These conventions led our film to be successful and allowed us to convey our film's meaning, of horror, towards our target audience. In our film, Patty is the antagonist and Ally is the protagonist, so we decided to have Patty's costume symbolize her character, which is a creepy stalker. In our film, Patty wore all black and dark black makeup around her eyes to symbolize the creepiness within her character and to entice the audience in her appearance.

Ally, Ashley, and Sarah all wear similar outfits to fit their character's personalities, which are popular high school teenagers. The main character within this group of girls is Ally since Patty is obsessed with her and wants to become a new version of Ally. Ally's costume consists of a high-c...

Our plan for distributing our film is to put our film on Netflix, Amazon Prime, and Blu-Ray DVD. We plan to release our film on Netflix, Amazon Prime, and Blu-Ray DVD 3 months after our film leaves the theaters. DVD Blu-Ray allows movies to be shown in high-resolution DVD, which is beneficial to viewers so they can have the full experience of the intense feeling of the movie. Both Netflix and Amazon Prime allow viewers to stream and watch, mostly, any movie as many times as you would like. These types of traditional distribution will benefit our movie because our target audience mainly utilizes Netflix and Amazon Prime, which means that they will most likely watch our movie.

When filming our film for the first time, Patty’s house was originally right next door to Ally’s house. When my group and I got together to re-film, Patty’s house was demolished and no longer exists. As a group, we sat down to think about how we would re-film Patty’s scene in front of her house and decided to use the house across the street. So instead of filming Patty near a knocked down house, we decided to film Patty across the street. We decided to do this instead because the house across the street looks almost the same as Patty’s house before and is still a perfect setting and scenery for Patty, as the house still gives a sense of scary and creepiness.
