Film Production, Distribution and Exhibition

Film Production

Film production is the process of creating a film. Production goes through different stages such as finding a good story and turning it into a script-writing, casting, shooting the filming and editing. A film needs to have a 'package' with all of the above to make a good film. Finance is one of the most important factors of film-making as without it the less high budget the film will be. The bigger finance the more likely higher class actors and actresses would be interested in working with the film.

Distribution

After the production stages the film goes through the final stages, distribution. Films are sent out to the cinema's for first viewing. The films advertising becomes larger with posters and official trailers rather than teasers. Interviews from the production team or actors are sometimes used to comment on the film. After the film has been in the cinema's for a while the distributer will turn the film into DVD's, Blue-Rays and downloads so the audience can watch the film from home.

Exhibition

Exhibition is where the film is shown. This can be in a cinema or at home on a TV. After a film has been screened in a cinema, some are shown on TV a year or so after it's taken out of the cinema. Films can also be viewed through DVD's, online downloads and sites such as Netflix and LoveFilm.
