Film production,distribution and exhibition

Production
The process in which the film is made, this is both the idea/story line and the actual filming. the film goes through script writing, casing, shooting and editing in this stage so it's ready for screening. This process is the main part of the film making, therefore it takes the longest to complete, it can range from months to years to complete the production of a film.

Pre-Production
The designing of the film and the preparation towards it. the pre-production is the basis to the film itself, this includes script writing, prop gathering and location finding. all these things help towards the film making so they have everything ready in advance.

Post-Production
The editing of the film, the final stage in the making of the film so it may then go on to be advertised and have an exhibition. the post-production is what makes the film  "bearable to watch" by adding cuts,effects and adding the scenes together, post-production really brings the film to life. usually the editing is the most important part of the film as it helps string the scenes together and decide what scenes to use and what clips they don't want in the film. The editing is done by an editor and the director so they may work together to decide what they want for the film.

Distribution
This is when the target audience is determined, as the film is taken into the final stage of development it is advertised to the audience and ready to be sold t stores and sold to the customers/consumers.they do this by using advertising.
