The film industry is a very influencial industry as its very difficult to miss anything a film company puts out there. There are 4 different parts to the process of creating a film that the film industry goes through. They go through these in order to create profit-making movies. Its a very good industry to go into as there are many sections that fan out to many other jobs as technology is improving every day. The film industry is very current and requires people to work in these four areas:
Production
This area is where the idea starts. Whats a film without an idea? New film ideas are inspired by old films as well as pretty much anything; from dreams/true stories/fantasy and many more...
This is why this is a growing business, because there are so much we dont know yet! From the idea comes people to work on a script. Then from there a crew and cast is gathered, a set is discussed and people who take care of the crew and cast are hired to provide food, trailers and other necesities. Then finally they can produce the film. All the takes are then look at by editors to complete the production process.
Distribution
Distribution is how the film gets to the audience. Film festivals show new releases very often to potential distributors who invest in movies that can produce profit and these deals are very important if you want your film to be recognised around the area, a country or the world. Some films go straight to DVD or bluray or are displayed in the cinema.
Marketing
This is the part where the advertisers and marketers come in. They make sure that your film gets the publicity it needs to become a success. Movies like avatar didnt generate billions of pounds from no billboard or tv or poster advertisements. They made sure that this movie get on every bus stop, bus, billboards in the motorway, tube, street so that it would be a success. Most quality movies are invested in in terms of marketing because it can be guranteed that people will watch it if they see a poster of it or something. More people seeing it means more people paying to see it in the cinemas or purchasing it from stores.
Exhibition
Exhibition or exchange is the fourth and last section as it follows the films after they have been watched. This leads to feedback from the audience whether it's by the percentage of sales or experience; how the movie impacted the audience from all ages and diversities. It can help film makers create future films that can be better than the best film of 2012 or 2013. It can determine whether the films they make will be the next big thing. They will ask the questions of who watches these films or who pays for them?
Since piracy is a big obstacle that film makers are always trying to overcome, they need to find ways to capture the audience. 3D and 4D is a bug contributor to people paying for the experience instead of just downloading it for free on the internet because even the internet is becoming better and faster. This area can help the film industry go back to the production stage and create newer and better films.
