Marketing:
Marketing is a format of advertising to the audience in order to attract and persuade them to watch a film. There are many ways of marketing a film such as:
- An advertisement on T.V
- An audio advertisement on the Radio
- A poster on a bus or Billboard
- etc.
Exhibition:
Is when the film is publicly screened, it is screened in the cinemas and is offered to paying customers alongside refreshments (most of the time). it is the amount of screenings that not only brings revenue to a cinema but also determines which films are most likely to be blockbusters. it is said that the exhibition of a movie is the 'Retail branch of the industry'.
Production
In production, the video production/film is created and shot. More crew will be recruited at this stage, such as the property master, script supervisor, assistant directors stills photographer, picture editor, and sound editors. These are just the most common roles in film making; the production office will be free to create any unique blend of roles to suit the various responsibilities possible during the production of a film.
Distribution
This is the final stage, where the film is released to cinemas or, occasionally, to consumer media (DVD, VCD, VHS, Blu-ray) or direct download from a provider. The film is duplicated as required and distributed to cinemas for exhibition (screening). Press kits, posters, and other advertising materials are published and the film is advertised and promoted.
Film distributors usually release a film with a launch party, press releases, interviews with the press, press preview screenings, and film festival screenings. Most films have a webite. The film plays at selected cinemas and the DVD typically is released a few months later. The distribution rights for the film and DVD are also usually sold for worldwide distribution. The distributor and the production company share profits.
Marketing
The Exhibition Department provides the final link in the film production chain, and is responsible for bringing the finished product to its audience.

Production, distribution and marketing
it the film industry
Production
. In pre-production, every step of
actually creating the film is carefully designed and planned
.The project
leader selects a story from either a book, play,true story or another movie
. The
director then works with writers to produce a synopsis
. a step
outline is then needed which is 30 page outline of the story in short
paragraphs.
. Next, a
screenwriter writes a screenplay over a period of several months
. A film
distributor may be contacted at an early stage to assess the likely market and
potential financial success of the film
. finally the
actual film production starts and they begin shooting
Distribution
– how the film gets from the edit house to the audience
Once the film
is completed it gets sent to the studio , next the studio make a licensing agreement
with a distribution company an example of a company is Ace Films Ltd.
From then it’s
the distributing company’s job to then decide how many copies of the film to
make and send off. The distributors then try to pitch the movie to prospective
buyers or investors that are willing to show the movie in their theatres.
From here the
buyers meet and discuss terms and conditions for the leasing of the movie. The
prints are then sent off to the theatres/cinemas a few weeks before so they can
prepare to screen it .the cinema then shows the movies for a set number of
weeks ,this is called engagement
At the end of the engagement, the theatre
sends the print back to the distribution company and makes payment on the lease
agreement.
