Production, Distribution, exhibition

 Today in class we learned Production, Distribution, Exhibition. This should help us know what big production companies do to get their movies out there. Example of big movie companies: Walt Disney, Universal, and 20th century fox, etc. 


Production  

Production is how you make the film. You have to have an idea, have to write a script, control your budget. Most importantly you have to know your cast. Personally, I believe your cast has to match with each character. When the cast matches each character, they wouldn't have to think too much about acting. You also have to know your budget. The budget will show how much you can spend on everything in total that way you don't go overboard with money. With budgeting comes an investor. An investor is the person who is providing money for filming. You have to make sure that your film is fundable so that your not wasting money. You also need you producer. Your producer helps produce the film and pitches in ideas. You should make sure you have an investor and producer that way everything is much easier and your not handling all the work.

Examples of horror production companies: 

  • Blumhouse productions
  • Hammer film productions
  • Ghost house pictures 
  • Twisted pictures


Distribution

There are many ways to distribute your film. Distribution is launching and sustaining films in a 'market place"  But I personally say distribute it digitally. Digital distribution is a very easy way to get your film out there. Your film maker is the person which decides how to present your film to its designated audience. When digitally distributing a film you able to send it out without shipping cost and its not too expensive. Filmmakers pay around $150-$500 per hour to air their movies in cinemas. This is a big cost especially when your film around is at its budget. Instead people can just digitally give out their films so they can avoid wasting all their money.  You can also distribute your film is by trailers, posters, articles. But they may cost some so they also have to match your budget. 

Example of horror distribution companies:
  • SRS Cinema 
  • RPV Media
  • Scott Brother Entertainment
  • Etiquette Entertainment Production  

Exhibition 

The exhibition is the cinema release of film which is the final journey of the your film making. This should mean your idea is clear to your designated audience and they are able to comprehend the idea you were going for. During the exhibition phase you give many ways that your audience may watch your film. Their should be many ways that can view the films so that your audience can have it available in many ways. 

Examples of Exhibition ways: 
  • Posters
  • Trailers 
  • Ad's 
  • Social media pages
