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.
