Film Industry
The film industry is a massive business. It can be split into 4 parts in the process of making a a film. these 4 parts are Production, Distribution, Marketing and Exhibition.
- Production: this can be split into sub sections. Distribution which is when the producers brainstorm and come up with the initial ideas for the film. script writing and rights are also bought at this stage. Pre-production is when location and set are decided as well as when crew and cast are hired. Production is when the film is recorded. Post-production is when the film is edited in the edit houses ready for distribution.

- Distribution: is the final stage when the film leaves the edit houses to the audience, this can be via cinema, DVD or Blu Ray or an instant download. Distributors may choose one weekend to to distributed their film as maybe on another weekend another big film may be being released as well.
- Marketing: you need to market a film in order for it to make money. The marketers do this in many ways such as billboards, TV ads, through other companies, etc. if a children's film was being promoted it is likely they will use things like happy meals or ads on children's TV as platforms for their ad campaign as that is where most of their target market lie.
- Exhibition: is when they audience see the production. They can see it through a variety of ways eg: cinema, DVD, online download, through their TV package ie: Sky or Virgin movies, etc. The film value chain come into play after the film has been theatrically shown in cinemas. Its how we access the films after that period:
