I believe that if I was to distribute my film I would attempt to have it shown before films are exhibited (similarly to trailers) at mainstream cinema screenings that are aimed at similar demographics to my film. That would be ideal. Also I would want to have my film available for download/streaming on amazon.co.uk, YouTube or even the ITunes store for example because this is a preferred method of attainment for my target demographic. I would enter my film in short film competitions also to gain interest, the indie short film competition for example or Virgin media Shorts.
Ideally, if I were able to continue, gain funding, and produce a complete film I would hope to have it shown at mainstream cinemas so that it would easily reach its target demographic as well as having it available for purchase/download in shops of DVD or on ITunes so that people can watch the film on devices such as IPhones etc.
Some good ideas here Sam but this doesn't really indicate that you understand the industrial process. You need to identify your film as mainstream and discuss distribution. You have indicated how you, as student film maker, can distribute the film.
