The film Industry
The film industry is one of the biggest industries in the
world, it's very diverse as countries from all over the world are in the film
making. However the main countries that are in the centre of the industry are
the United States, as well as India (the largest producer of films in the
world), Nigeria, Hong Kong and a few countries in Europe.
Watching films has now become an everyday activity to
a lot of us but we don't notice how much time, effort and planning is put into
each film. In the film industry there are four stages that need to be
carried out in order to produce a film. Those four stages are production,
distribution, marketing and exhibition.
Production - At this stage everything needed for the film is planned and
designed. The director visualises the film and the storyboard is then created.
Once the storyboard is created the production budget for the film is then drawn
up, this budget is an estimation of how much will be used for each stage of the
film making (production, distribution, marketing and exhibition). After the
budget is drawn up the size of the crew is then determined – small production
companies have a crew which consist of nine crew members or less, whereas
mainstream production companies hire hundreds and have a cast. After the storyboard, budget and crew members are sorted the film is then filmed, edited and treatment is then carried out.
Distribution - Distribution is the process of which a movie is made available to watch by the audience. At this stage the rights for the film is sold to companies (and occasionally DVD's, Blu-Ray's or a download provider) and then distributed to cinemas for screening. Weeks later the film will be released on DVD.
Marketing - Once a film is released promotion and advertisement are then made for the film. Some examples of promotion are merchandise (toys, drinks etc.), prints (newspapers, magazines etc.), internet (websites, online screening etc.) and television (trailers, behind the scene footage etc.). Huge production companies also known as conglomerates would spend thousands on advertising and promotion. The reason why is because the more money they spend on advertisement would mean the more recognition the film gains and the more profit they get. The type of advertising that the company decides to use depends on the type of audience that the film is targeted at. Therefore if the company decides to target a film at teenagers they would advertise via internet or in a way which uses technology.
Films are sold to different audiences depending on age, gender, interest etc. For example a production company would target teenagers for a horror film because national statistics show that teenager's favourite genre of film is horror.
Exhibition/Exchange - Once the film is made, promoted and watched. The rights are then sold to different companies so that the film can be streamed. The audience then has the choice in which they want to engage with the film. Some of the main ways that the audience watch films could be via internet (streaming), hospitality (aeroplanes) or home streaming (sky box, virgin media).

Production- At this stage everything needed for the film is planned
and designed. There are three stages in production, pre-production,
production and post-production. Pre- production is the stage in which all the planning for the project takes place. During
pre-production, the production is broken down into individual scenes and all
the locations, props, cast members, costumes, special effects and visual
effects are identified. The script, if not already complete, is written at this
stage. Production the stage at which all the filming is carried out. All scenes
planned out in pre-production are filmed at the relevant locations. Each scene
is filmed as many times as the director deems fit, to ensure the best quality
scenes will be used to construct the film. This is where the strength of the
pre-production work is put to the test. Post production This is the stage in
which the film is assembled by the editor. The first job of the film editor is
to build a rough cut taken from sequences (or scenes) based on individual
"takes" (shots). The purpose of the rough cut is to select and order
the best shots. The next step is to create a fine cut by getting all the shots
to flow smoothly in a seamless story.
Exhibition - Cinemas fall into 1 of 2 categories: national
chains; and independent exhibitors. The specific programming will depend on the
target audience, with large chains often filling their multiplexes with
blockbuster fare and individual independents more likely to cater to art-house
crowds.
In terms of shorts, a
distributor is an individual or organisation who will represent your film at
festivals and markets around the world and who will attempt to sell it to
television
