•   Choosing and visiting the locations
•   Hiring the director and producer


                                          4
Production
• Filming the movie - shooting every scene
  that appears in the film
• The director getting the best of the stars
• Finessing and even changing the script on
  location
• Arranging, reheursing and filming the stunts
• Moving the crew from location to location

                                        5
Post production
• Editing the footage that has been shot -
  pictures and sound
• Editing and re-editing so the film is
  polished
• Laying on the extra sound effects
• Laying on a narrator if neccesary
• Adding the music
• Adding the graphics and special effects
                                         6
Distribution
• Distribution companies (or distributors) are
  involved in P and A - Prints and
  Advertising.
• They make the copies (prints) of the film
  which are distributed to cinemas, video
  stores, retailers and TV companies.
• They are also responsible for the marketing
  campaign of the film, advertising it to
  maximise the audience.
Distribution
• Film distribution is dominated by a
  relatively small number of massive
  companies (I.e. an oligopoly).
• These companies are often owned by larger
  companies that are also involved in film
  production. E.g. Buena Vista are part of
  Disney.
Distribution
• The distributors of a film have a range of
  advertising and promotional strategies.
• Different films are marketed in very
  different ways - it all depends on the target
  audience that the distribution company has
  identified.
• E.g. Attack the Block used different
  strategies to Pirates of the Caribbean 4.
Exhibition
• Exhibition refers to the final stage of the chain
  - the cinema, DVD, TV etc.
• Exhibitors (cinemas) have to pay the
  distributors to rent prints of the film.
• They then generate revenue through selling
  popcorn etc.
• A company involved in film production,
  distribution and exhibition is known as a
  vertically integrated company.
