What happens at each stage of the Film Process

• Production

Production is the process of making a film. Firstly having an initial idea about the film. This includes a storyboard, scripting and casting (pre-production). During the production stage, the film is then created (production). Once filmed, it is then edited and ready to be distributed (post-production).

• Distribution

This stage involves the company ‘selling’ the film to the audience. This includes promoting the film to the press using interviews, adverts, posters, ect. This allows the audiences to know about the film before it is released into the cinemas or on DVD to encourage people to watch the film.

• Exhibition

Exhibition involves the way in which people will see the film. This could be in a range of different settings including cinemas, DVDs, festivals, ect. With the new technology that is being created, there are new ways of ensuring the exhibition process such as online streaming.
