1. We have got inspiration all around us. The inspiration can
be found in a magazine, newspaper, people, plays, films
and even in books.

3. The idea is he most important stage out of the
12 because If you don’t have an idea there is
no film. Every film writer has an idea about the
plot of the film. Also the writer would take part
of a script to a director .If the director likes the
script he would tell the writer to bring him or
write the rest of the script.

4. Development The director will give a
finance is private investor the
where they find script and if they like it
how much the
they will invest some
film would cost.
money towards the
production of the film.
The producer can
offer the future sale
and broadcast
rights to the film in
return for money to
develop the script.

10. Post production.
As the processed footage comes in the editor assembles it into scenes
and creates a narrative sequence for the film.
Once the pictures is locked the sound department works on the audio
track laying creating and editing every sound.
After picture lock the rough sound mix goes to a dubbing theatre where
the sound mixer sets the final levels.
After the final cut the film reaches full lock it is now finished and ready
for duplication but who gets the final cut.

11. Sales
To help her sell the film to distributors the producer secures
the services of a sales agent a specialist in film sales.
To help sell the film a frailer is made to show busy film buyers
the most marketable aspects of the film.
A high profile screening at one of the top film festivals can be
great for generating heat around a film.
The producer now has a hot product and can negotiate good
deals with distributors around the world.

12. Marketing.
Knowing the audience is essential and the
marketing team runs test screenings to see how
the film is received.
The potential audience for the film is targeting with
posters cinema trailers TV spots and other
marketing materials.
In order to get the film to audiences the distributor
must negotiate a deal with the cinemas to screen it.

13. Exhibition
A high profile star studded premiere is used to launch the
film to the public with an explosion of media coverage.
The uk has more than 3500 cinema screens although not all
are British owned or show British films.
The exhibitors take their share of the box office receipts after
which the distributors recoup their marketing costs.
Once the distributors have been paid the financiers can
recover their investments as laid out in the recoupment
schedule.

14. Hospitality sales for hotel channels and in flight entertainment can bring in
millions in additional revenue.
Uk audiences spend more on dvds than on cinema tickets so success on
dvd can compensate for box office failure.
Television is the final source of revenue rights are sold separately for pay
TV showings and terrestrial broadcast.
Once the film has made a profit the producer and key creative people can
reap their rewards or so the theory goes.
The final income from a film is never known distribution continues in
perpetuity and it may even be re-released in the future.
