An art film is typically a
serious, independent film targeted towards a specific market rather than a mass market .An art film is
"intended to be a serious artistic work, often experimental and not
designed for mass appeal". They are made more for the love of making a
movie than for commercial profit.
Art film producers usually
present their films at specialty theatres and film
festivals. Art films are aimed at small audiences, which means they
can rarely get the financial backing that will permit large production budgets,
expensive special effects, costly celebrity actors, or
huge advertising campaigns, as are used in widely released mainstream films.
Furthermore, a certain degree of
experience and knowledge are required to understand or appreciate such
films,This contrasts sharply with mainstream "blockbuster" films,
which are geared more towards escapism and pure entertainment. For
promotion, art films rely on the publicity generated from film critics'
reviews, discussion of their film by arts columnists, commentators
and bloggers, and "word-of-mouth" promotion by audience members.
Since art films have small initial investment costs, they only need to appeal to a small portion of
the mainstream viewing
audiences to become financially viable.
From this information that i obtained
from Wikipedia i have decided that my film was to be an Art Film , allowing for a small amount of
people to appreciate the different aspects of my film.
