Fandom

What is a fan?
Fans are people who appreciated a specific person, for example a producer or an actor, or even a series of films. Someone who follows a person, or a franchise over a period of time.
Fans are useful because you can make money off them because they buy merchandise. They buy the tickets, they follow the films. They advertise the films though word of mouth, fans can be dangerous if they don't like the film, and they then tell people not to see it because its not good. Review sites, or social networking can be dangerous for example someone starting up a Facebook group. Make people listen to it, recommended it, share it on social network sites, all ways of making fans. People use teaser trailers and teaser sneak previews of films to create a fan, or to show there is a new series or a second film.
