Film Production

Idea According to Wikipedia, an idea is just whatever is before the mind when one thinks. Very often, ideas are construed as represented images; i.e. images of some  objects.
An idea can come into a producer's mind about a particular image or scene, then more images related to the original scene springs up and these are all sewn together to form a pre-production. But a pre-production can only be achieved after an original idea has been put in place.
Pre-production One of the first stages of pre-production is the ability of the producer to identify a theme to the story, whilst working with script writers to form a synopsis. Afterwards a step outline is produced to further break the movie down into a paragraphic sequence to focus more on the story description.
Funding Money needed for the film production can be provided by film-investors. Some movies are funded by co-producers. The funding of a movie is necessary as it would help the movie hit the screens. The money needed to produce the movie, get actors and use scenes are all included in the funding. In most times, film investors get back thier money with profits. Again this all depends on how much is made at the movie box office.
Production This is the process of making the film. This is where all  the ideas come together on set with the actors and filming is completed. Post production is after the filming has finished and the shooting comes together. This consist of video editing, special effects, colour correction, making and adding the sound track and other sound effects.
Distribution This goes with marketing. Distribution is where the film becomes connected with the audience in some way. However a distributer is needed before a film can be distributed. The finished film is distributed into the market. The film has to be marketed to different areas, first it needs to be marketed to the exhibitors where the distributer needs to interest the theatre so the film is shown at their theatre/cinema. It then needs to get marketed to  the audience, where trailers are shown to publicize the film. The box office is commonly the first place the audience can see the film. Other marketing ideas are posters, adverts in magazines and creating a website for the film.
Exhibition Tickets are sold at the box office to the public. After a film has been released in the cinema, there is a brief period of time before the film can be seen again. 12 - 16 weeks is the average time before the film in shown on premium channels and then, after another brief period of time, they are shown on the nomal channels eg. channel 4. Films can also be shown on the internet however there is alot of illegal downloading of films.
