Film Chain
Production
The stages involved in producing a film are pre-production, production and then post-production.
Pre-production
Pre-production is when everything is identified, props that are to be used, cast members identity and what their roles are in the film, also the script is completed if it hasn't been already.
Production
This is when the film is carried out, everything that has been previously planned out is filmed in the relevant locations. The director decides how many takes are required for a particular scene. everything has to be done perfectly or close enough by this stage as it is almost impossible to go back to pre-production.
Post-production
this is mainly to do with editing, the editor takes all the clips and puts them together to make the final film. after all the editing, the film is then 'locked' by the editor so no further changes can be made.
the owners of the studio decide what movies are published, this has an impact on what movies are made as producers would like to go to studios that are popular so they can make more money on their films, this means that they may have to create a specific genre of movie just to be able to use a particular studio.
An independent film is a professional film production produced mostly or completely outside of the major film studio system.
Distribution
distribution is when a film or piece of media is shared out to a number of different recipients, films get from the edit houses to the cinema. Companies such as 20th century films distribute films, not all films are produced by the same people. The traditional way of distributing a film is using DVD's and cinemas, now online movies are a more popular way of getting movies from edit houses to the viewer. Film festivals is a way of gathering film enthusiasts and promoting new films, the people that attend these festivals talk to each other about movies that they have watched and then more movies get spread around. movies are released on particular days to avoid competition with other movies, weekends are also the most common time that people visit the cinema so there is more of a chance of them watching.
