Film Funding and Structure

I believe that my film would be funded by some form of Kickstarter page. For instance, I create a trailer or use the money I have saved personally with other people who are interested in producing this, and then have something to show and post online. This will then attract online audiences, and they can donate to help fund the film. I believe that this is the way it would be done, as my film company is likely to be independent and relatively new. Many directors gain funding through this and social media, which is the route I would also take, and by having a kickstarter, you can also give back to people who put their money in, to really bring those stakeholders into the production on a personal level, making them more interested in the film and it's production, and creating a relatively loyal audience, which may often share and post about the film and it's development, which works as free advertising, and also gives the opportunity for other people to take an interest and help fund the film. I believe that this would work tremendously, as the structure of my film company is likely to be relatively unprofessional. I believe that the company would be more personal, and perhaps start out as good friends or a team of people who share an interest and have a more personal connection to eachother, perhaps friends or family, and start out creating films as it is a personal hobby, but they are able to barely get by buy creating these films as full time jobs. Often things are posted on YouTube, for instance, creating props or costumes etc, and they get a lot of their profits from the monetization of these videos. I believe this would be the best idea, and that it would suit my film trailer and give a matching look to what the creative team behind this could be like in a realistic world.
