Swede Presentation

Film Industry - Rachel

Production - Development

A project producer thinks of a story line and teams up with a writer which they then make a brief outline of each scene in paragraphs. This contains limited dialog and stage directions briefly understanding each scene and meaning of the film. However, this can take up to months as the script would need to be re-written. After this is complete, the producer and writer would create a brief presentation to show investors and if it is successful, they go ahead and start developing the film.

Pre-Production

Every film production is designed carefully. The film production is visualised by film illustrators and concepts artists. The production budget is finalised and the production insurance is organised. The producer then hires a filming crew to get together and discuss how they are going to go about filming.

Production

Production is when the film is actually filmed created and shot. The crew arrive on set and start to set up the scene while the actors are sent to hair and make up. Actors rehearse the script with the directors and the filming crew make sure everything is up and running so the can start quickly and efficiently. Then the co-director would call everyone to let them know filming is about to start.
Distribution

When the industry put a film together, they need to do everything they can to make sure they make a good profit out of their investment. It's also to understand how the viewers can watch the films. Directors and actors normally gain attention from distributors. When someone is interested, they make a deal. If the movie is successful, they'll manage to put them from the cinema to DVD, to pay-to-view or internet release, then on television.

Marketing

Films are promoted through trailers that are shown in the cinema, TV and also shown before another movie on DVD. There are also film posters and film websites, branded cinema gifts and merchandise, propaganda and fast food packages. Another way they can use promotion is to tour around different countries and cities for premieres. This is when the actors, producers and directors show up for radio, TV shows and host a premiere to promote their movie. Sometimes the director allow a pre show which allows a selected amount from the target audience to watch the film before the actual release date.

Exhibition

Exhibition is about how the audience see the film. This is based around the majority of the viewers best interest. They would consider the best viewing time, cost etc. For example, most people enjoy going to the cinema on the weekends, so they would inform the cinemas to show the film during that time. Also including the preference  in technology. This would include things such as 3D shows or 2D shows
