The document discusses the various stages of film production and distribution. It explains that the idea stage is the most important as it forms the basis for the film. During development, directors and producers seek financing from private investors or future sales of broadcast rights. In exhibition, films have premieres to launch them publicly and are shown in cinemas, with revenue shared among exhibitors, distributors, and financiers. Television and home video sales also provide additional sources of income over the lifetime of a film.

be found in a magazine, newspaper, people, plays, films
and even in books.

12 because If you don’t have an idea there is
no film. Every film writer has an idea about the
plot of the film. Also the writer would take part
of a script to a director .If the director likes the
script he would tell the writer to bring him or
write the rest of the script.

13. Exhibition
A high profile star studded premiere is used to launch the
film to the public with an explosion of media coverage.
The Uk has more than 3500 cinema screens although not all
are British owned or show British films.
The exhibitors take their share of the box office receipts after
which the distributors recoup their marketing costs.
Once the distributors have been paid the financiers can
recover their investments as laid out in the recoupment
schedule.

14. Hospitality sales for hotel channels and in flight entertainment can bring in
millions in additional revenue.
Uk audiences spend more on dvds than on cinema tickets so success on
dvd can compensate for box office failure.
Television is the final source of revenue rights are sold separately for pay
TV showings and terrestrial broadcast.
Once the film has made a profit the producer and key creative people can
reap their rewards or so the theory goes.
The final income from a film is never known distribution continues in
perpetuity and it may even be re-released in the future.
