The traditional distribution model of a film is film promotion. Movie companies such as Marvel, 20th Century Fox, and Lionsgate, advertise their movies very well. They make trailers for commercials, buy billboards, and use social media such as Instagram to promote their movie. We would use social media to advertise because it is free, and we have a limited budget. We would make an Instagram account and post a few times a day, to get the most possible people to see our posts.

 Eighth Grade is a comedy/drama film about a young teenage girl going through her last week of eight grade. She struggles with anxiety but tries to get social acceptance from her peers in the final week of middle school. The audience for the movie will most likely a little younger than our audience, because it is a movie about middle school. The most appealing aspect about the movie, just like our movie, would be its comedy aspect. Without the comedy, the movie would be a sad drama. The comedy lightens it up a lot. 

 The Edge of Seventeen is a drama/comedy about an awkward high school junior, whose brother is dating her best friend. She feels alone until an unexpected friend shows her that all hope is not lost.

The comedy appeal to the audience much like ours, because the movie wouldn't be as entertaining, and not as many people would have watched it.

The target audience of the film is most likely teenagers and young adults looking for a laugh, but also a suspenseful movie. The movie would show in most places across the United States, and possibly other countries that speak English. If we put voice-overs or subtitles in the movie, other countries that don't speak English could watch the movie.

Education levels would most likely be high/middle school, since the dialogue is easy to understand, and they would find it funny. They could be intrested in mafia or crime movies. When we incorporate comedy, it is a bonus because people can have a laugh while they are watching a suspenseful movie. The most appealing aspect of our movie is comedy and suspense
