Earning money from my movie is easy for me (2) !

The other major part will be to attract students. Well of course here I will have to use the tip which was given to me by Clive, a GURU of http://www.indietalk.com/. He told me that when ever you are planning a movie make a sketch of poster of your movie and look out does it attract people and does it tell the genre of your movie? So I will have to make a sketch of poster of my movie and I will have to ask my friends that’s are they able to guess what genre my movie belong too? I will also have to ask does they like the poster? Is it attractive? I know making and printing out poster will be little expensive but the good thing will be that all the sale department will be in my hand (with the co-ordination of university management). Though the marketing expenses will be my responsibility but still I should not forget that I will be directly involved in sales and all the figures will be open to me.
I will have to only print attractive posters for my movie and I will have to place them on the right places in the university. Me and the university management can decide Sunday for the projection of the movie. On the other hand, because all the universities (which are offering filmmaking) have good multimedia equipments so my movie (which can be on DVD) can easily get projected. The university Management in this way can earn too.

Now coming back toward the numerical figures in Pakistan there are universities like NCA, IQRA, PAFKIET, RIFAH BNU which are offering filmmaking. There are some more universities which are offering Mass communication too so (obviously filmmaking is a field of mass communication too) these universities can be added in the list too. The names which are coming in my mind right now are PUNJAB UNIVERSITY, KARACHI UNIVERSITY, SUPERIOR COLLEGE, GC UNIVERSITY etc. Few universities (from the above mentioned list) have campuses in more than 1 city so roughly there are (at-least) 15 universities which can be targeted (remember there are few more but I don’t have the list right now). If the total number of students studying in all these universities are even around 2000 (which is definitely a rough calculation of me, the actual number is much greater) and even if I get able to sell out 500 tickets so (500 X 200 price per ticket) it means that I will still recover my costs after giving half money to the universities.

These are rough calculations. I believe the only two important things which I will require a sellable movie and the convincing power to convince the universities. And after these two thing I can definitely recover the costs of my movie. And in bonus I will get name and fame in the market, because obviously showing my movie in so many universities will certainly attract press and media too.

What do you say? :=)

The End.
