DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE 3 A mainstream film would be advertised on TV or on a poster on the side of a bus, a low budget wouldn’t be advertised. It would be shared by the producers and actors themselves but it would not be paid for to advertise as it’s a low budget film. Also a mainstream film would occasionally be recorded somewhere famous or a nice place therefore the producers would have to ask authorities to close down the roads or area of the potential scene. A low budget film would be recorded somewhere people don’t go or people walking around in the background, not looking professional. A niche film is unique and different from all the other films in the category, so if its scary it would have a completely different storyline to a normal scary movie. E.g. the bee movie, animation that’s completely different to every other animation (storyline)
