Film Industry

The film industry is divided into four separate sectors including: Development//Production//Distribution//Exhibition. 

The Development stage is the start of the films production, which is the Development of the script which is the skeleton of the film. The other part of the development stage is the planning for the production stage and finding an investor and Distributor.

Production stage is basically the filming of the project. This stage includes the majority of job roles involved in the film project. The production is the practical side of the project.

Distributing is occurred once the film is still in post production. The distributing of the film is practically the marketing stage of the film. This involves Advertising/Reviewing/Previewing. 

The advertising includes trailers (teaser/trailer/official trailer) and posters. 

The reviewing side of the distributing involves showings for critics so the film could be reviewed and rated by given star ratings and prospective on the films qualities. Previews also occur in the marketing of the film to avoid loosing out in the first weeks of release. The reason for previews is to gain the advantage of 'word of mouth'.

The exhibition is the final stage of the films production, this includes the celebration of the films release. It involves the premiere of the film, this is where the lead roles of the film including the Producer, Director and the lead actor/actress will participate in.
