Researching Film Industry

Researching Film Industry
 

In film industry there are three main stages:
 

Production– This part is mostly about funding and organisation which involves money. The producer must find an investor/funder on the film. In some cases they may even decide on the director and casting. They may even make changes to the script to make it more commercial.

Distribution– This part includes distributing the products to customers/audience. They will negotiate with cinemas to decide how much they get and how many screens are used to show the film. Distribution also includes the internet and DVD in which they start to make the bigger amount of money. Trailers are also made by the distribution companies.

Marketing– This part includes, letting the customers/audience know about the film. For example posters, TV spots and mainly social networking sites (internet). Another big marketing strategy is cast interviews.

For example one of the most popular film production companies are 20^thCentury Fox and Warner Brothers. These production companies funded astonishing films like Avatar and Harry Potter which is still a major hit. The film series Harry Potter was directed by four directors: David Yates, Chris Columbus, Alfonso Cuarón and Mike Newell. The film avatar was directed by James Cameron, one of the most famous directors.
