  • Researching The Film Industry Sarah Ratcliffe
  • Production It is the basic process to make the film happen. Production involves a number of little stages that make a huge impact. This includes: an initialstory,idea, or commission, throughscriptwriting,casting, shooting,editing, andscreeningthe finished product before the audience which can lead to the release of the film. There are many people that carry out each task as groups to get it done. The work could take several months to several years to complete, depending on the movie idea.
  • These are only some of the production companies.Yes, theyre responsible for all the good things which make the filmhappen. But if something goes wrong, such as an actor breaking hisleg, they are held responsible for that as well.Film production is a three main step process:1) Pre-Production (Developing the script)2) Production (Shooting the script)3) Post-Production (Editing the film and adding the sound tracks).
  • Orphan is a 2009 Americanpsychological thrillerfilm directed byJaume Collet-Serra. The film is based on a couple who, after the death of their unborn child, adopt a mysterious nine-year old girl.Orphanwas produced byJoel SilverandSusan DowneyofDark Castle Entertainment. The film is psychological, thriller, as is ours. The style is is strange and gripping hence my interest in this film and company (Dark Castle Entertainment)

  • Distribution Afilm distributor is a company or individual responsible for the marketing of a film. The distributor may set therelease dateof a film and the method by which a film is to be shown or made available for viewing. 20TH Century Fox and Warner Bros for example are film distributors. Their initial job In the film industry is to release the film to the public and attract/convince or encourage the audience to watch the film. This can be either through cinema, dvd etc. The distribution of the film is an important step as without viewers theres obviously no point in the film. They release the film to the public in a way where they think will attract and secure the viewers attentiontherefore then watching the film.
