PRODUCTION PROCESSThe production process involves three key stages, pre production, production and post production.Pre production is where the planning happens. The location is chosen, the script is made and what actors/actresses are going to be involved etc. The production company also budgets their money in this process.The Production process involves filming and in this stage it is crucial that the production company hire good technical equipment so that they have good quality footage.Post production is the last process and in this stage it is where all the editing goes on and this is done on different types of programmes, for example Final Cut Pro X.

DISTRIBUTIONDistribution can be referred to as ‘the piggy in the middle’ or ‘the invisible art’ in the industry of film. It can be called these two phrases because people usually know the least information about distribution than other stages. The distributor has two key roles which are logistics and marketing. Logistics is getting the film to the exhibitor and marketing is creating an audience for the film. This can be done through posters, trailers, TV spots etc.

Distributing our Thriller – we came to the conclusion that our Thriller would be a British independent film. There are many UK independent distribution companies out in the industry already an some are:- BBC - Film4- STUDIOCANELI feel that a British independent distribution company would distribute our film because firstly it being a UK film and also that we had a small budget unlike major distributors in the UK.

EXHIBITION Exhibition is the stage where the final media product is show to an audience, for example at a cinema.Here they have to be careful where they show the media product as they would need to make sure that where it is aired that there is the right audience in which the media product is aimed at. As our audience is for teens (15+) it would seem a good place to air the film in a multi-complex because our audience can meet up with friends and make a day/evening out of going to the cinema as there is usually bowling and arcade facilities.
