Production

The Production Of Making A Film:

1. There are 5 stages in making a film; theres scripting, preproduction then the production then after that theres the post-production and finally the distribution. The first stage in post production is the planning stage where you choose your basic workflow, such as offline and online editing (for projects with a lot of media) or editing the uncompressed footage (for shorter projects with quick turnaround times). 
2. The second stage in post-production is the setting up. In this phase, you set up your editing system by installing and connecting the hardware you need, as well as configuring your software. For example, before logging and ingesting, you need to connect your computer either to the video and audio from your camcorder or VTR (video tape recorder) or to a device containing your file-based media. You also need to make sure that the correct presets are chosen within Final Cut Pro.
3. The third stage in post-production is the ingesting. in this stage this is when you actually film and record the film capturing, transferring, or importing video, audio, still images, and metadata to your computer’s hard disk, which creates media files. You can ingest media files at any time, although most footage should be ingested before you start editing.
4. The forth stage of post-production is the editing. At this stage this involves taking the video and audio you’ve captured, along with any music or graphics you’ve imported, and arranging these raw materials into a final edited sequence of clips. Most editors start with a rough cut, where they quickly arrange all of the clips for a movie in sequence. Once that’s finished, they work on fine-tuning, subtly adjusting the edit points between clips and refining the pacing of each cut. Basic audio editing and synchronising are also part of this process, as well as adding transitions, such as fades and dissolves. Also in editing you mix in the audio which is when you can put in any background music. Then after thats done you add sound effects that are additionally needed.
5. The final stage of post-production is when the outputting occurs which is when the film is complete and you start showing it in cinemas and the advertising comes into it . After this thats when it goes onto DVD and the availability to download it.

Distribution

An independent film is a professional film production resulting in a feature film that is produced mostly or completely outside of the major film studio system.

Film festivals are annual events which takes place to celebrate the art of film and the artists that produce it.Their role in the film distribution is to screen and judge independent films as well as provide recognition for unknown filmmakers.Distribution is essential to the film chain because without it - independent filmmakers will go unrecognised and if the filmmaker cannot secure a distribution deal then their movie will not be screened.

Marketing

Marketing: the action or business of promoting and selling products or services, including market research and advertising.

Marketing is different to distribution because marketing is the propaganda used to promote the film whereas distribution is where the film is sent to in order to reach the audience. YouTube is one place where films are promoted, people tend too watch trailers for the ilms they want to watch in cinema. 

Exhibition

Audiences get to see films in an abundance of ways - these include:

• Cinema
• DVD
• Youtube
• Downloading
• Streaming
• iTunes (purchasing downloads)

Box office is when the film isn't released but you as the actor director or producer would go to the cinema where you would go and see the film before its actually released for the public. Once the Box Office is done and the film is premiered that's when tickets are bought or reserved or used to refer to the commercial success of a film, play, or actor in terms of the audience size or takings that they command. You can calculate the success of a film by the amount of tickets that have been sold as well has how many theaters it has been screened in.The main way a cinema makes money is from advertising, refreshments and profit. They encourage audiences to visit rather than watch films at home by putting on cinema deals on certain days or making the whole 'cinema experience' comfortable by introducing 'VIP' leather seating.
