FILM WEBSITES
Having a website for our film will provide opportunities to attract new audiences that are non-existing with other platforms, this is really important. When a company create a website to promote their film they can set up a email subscription link to collect emails. With enough emails they can then be in direct contact with their audience.
When creating a website, the creator has all of the control. They can decide the order of their content placement and can have a big input on what images, text and videos to put in it and where.
