Production
The Production phase of creating a film
is putting all the elements of Pre-Production together. This includes the
casting, the crew, finding a director, placing a budget and finding a film
institution, as well as coming up with an initial film idea. The script is
normally drafted about 12-15 times (not including storyboarding).
The producer is the “centre entrepreneur” of the movie, as
they have to start looking at the bigger picture since day 1. In a film crew, they’re
what are called “best boys”. There are two types of Best Boys- Best Boy
Electric and Best Boy Grip. They are in charge of the lighting and grip
department.
There are three stages when it comes to production: Pre-Production, Production and Post-Production.

Distribution
A film distributor is a
company/individual who is responsible for marketing the movie. The distributor
organises aspects such as the theatrical release date as well as circulation
for home viewing. Independent film distribution in the UK is managed generally
by Indie distributors. Examples of this include Metrodome and Optimum
Releasing. Before release, distributors will present their film at film
festivals and markets around the world. Some of these include Sundance, Cannes
and Rotterdam.
Exhibition
An exhibitor will go about ways to selling
the experience of film in different ways. The exhibition of film mainly involves
the ownership, management and operations of cinema. Exhibition deals with shifting
market conditions, strong competition, and cost investments in new technology.
