Production, Distribution, Marketing and Exhibition :)

PRODUCTION!!

Pre - Production 

This is the phase  within which all the planning for the project takes place. throughout pre-production, the production is separated into individual scenes; the locations, props, cast, costumes, CGI and any other effects are identified. The script, if not already complete, is written at this stage. an in depth schedule is created and arrangements are  created for the mandatory parts or individuals to be accessible to the film-makers at the suitable times.

Financing and pre-sales: 

This is the stage when the film is financed, Independent films often involve a variety of collaborating businesses, advisers and investors. 

Production

At this stage all the cinematography is applied. All scenes that had been mapped out in pre-production are filmed at the relevant locations. every scene is filmed as repeatedly because the director deems necessary  to confirm the most effective quality scenes used to accustomed construct the film. this can be wherever the strength of the pre-production work is put to the take a look at. care should be taken to create a positive a positive atmosphere so the filming is completed properly and every single one of the necessary shots are taken, because it is typically tough or not possible to travel back and repeat some events if the filming is incomplete once it comes to the post-production stage.

Post - Production

During this stage the film is put together by the editor. The main job of the film editor is to create a rough cut taken from sequences based on individual shots. The aim of the rough cut is to pick out and order the most effective shots. Next the editor forms a fine cut by getting all the shots to flow seamlessly. The sequences are trimmed by a number of minutes, seconds, or maybe frames. Additionally all music, graphics, menus etc are added during this stage. when the fine cut has been screened and approved by the director and producer,it is "locked," which means no additional changes can be made.

DISTRIBUTION!!

How film distribution works:

They produce an outline and use it to market interest within the idea. A studio or  freelance investor decides to buy rights to the film. Cast and crew are brought along to create the film .
The film is completed and sent to the studio. The studio makes a contract with a distribution company.
The distribution company determines the number copies of the film to create.
The distribution company shows the film to prospective consumers representing the theaters.
The consumers talk terms with the distribution company on the movies they want to lease and also the terms of the lease agreement. The prints are sent to the theaters a number of days before the official screening day. The theater shows the film for a specific number of weeks.
At the end of the engagement, the arena sends the print back to the distribution company and makes payment on the lease agreement.
