Production, Distribution and Exhibition

Once there is an idea to the film they have to finalise it ready for production. Production refers to the tasks that must be completed or executed during the filming or shooting. This includes tasks such as setting up scenes, the capture of raw footage, and usage of set designs, to name a few of the many pre-production tasks. Once financing is secured detailed preparation for the shoot begins this is Pre- Production. This usually involves casting storyboarding production design and special effects planning. Production is the second step in film creation. It follows the pre-production phase and evolves into the post-production stage. Post- production usually stars during the shoot when the first available footage and sound are made.

The distribution of a film is the process through which a movie is made available to watch for an audience by a film distributor. This may be accomplished in a variety of ways, for example, with a theatrical release, a home entertainment release in which the movie is made available on DVD-Video or Blu-ray Disc or a television program. They would make a trailer and lots of teaser trailers.

Cinema exhibition is the primary channel for films to reach their audiences. There is usually a premier that is used to launch the film where loads of high profile celebrities would attend and walk down the red carpet, this would usually have an explosion of media coverage. Once the distributors have been paid the financiers can recover their investments as laid out in the recoupment schedule.
