Production:  Film production is all about the step by step way of making a film. It firstly starts with coming up with what the film is going to be about which goes by the name of the "ideas" people have about the film. Secondly the filmmaking involves the script writing then additionally casting follows which is basically the fact that filmmakers need to find people/ a crew to cast the film. This is really important because the director of the film need to find the right actors/ actresses suited for the roles he or she is  planning to give them. This will ensure high profit and success when talking how well the film will do. Furthermore there's the shooting process/filming which is just putting scenes together to create a film. After that, the editing and  screening comes in to complete the production before it gets advertised and released for people to see.

 

Distribution: This is basically just about how the films get from the edit house to the audience. In other words its all about the availability of a film for the public. Films are either distributed in cinemas, on the internet, on  DVDs and in film festivals.

 

Marketing: This  is the most important process of the movie industry. Its all about advertising and promoting movies. The more the movie gets promoted, the more likely you are going to make a profit out of it because a lot of people will spot the promoted/advertised film and will be more likely to pay to watch it due to for example their high interest in it because of the actors or actresses . People are aware of new movies through trailers, bus ads, food boxes e.g. happy meals, radios, billboards,  posters,  newspapers,  internets, social networks such as Facebook, twitter,  YouTube etc...

 

Exhibition: This is kind of similar to distribution however exhibition is how audiences get to see films. Nowadays a lot of people see films on the internet on film sites  such as lovefilm.com, 1channel, Netflix, YouTube etc. People watch films illegally online but they have to wait for a while after the film's release to watch it.  Films are also watched on DVDs which shows that even if people such teenagers, young  adults download/ watch films  illegally others still buy it before they watch it at home. To add to this cinema websites such as Odeon allows people to be aware of films so therefore others just pay to watch it in cinemas.
