Distribution
While the film is still in the post. the producer is out selling it, but they cant sell directly to the public herself she needs a distributer. As the finishing touches are being made to the film in post the distributors plan their strategy and begin to market it. Distribution is an action made of sharing something out among a number of different people or audience.

Production
Post production usually starts during the shoot as soon as the first 'rushes' raw footage and sound are avaliable. A large film production can involve hundreds of people. and can be a strugle to keep on time on a budget, production is a action of making or manufactoring from components of raw meterial. production is used in the media when making the film producing all the scenes and shots to overall put the film together. As the process footage comes in the editer assembles it into the scenes and creates a narrative sequence for the film. every special effect is done at this point. they try to do it so none of the cast or crew memebers get hurt in this process and sometimes it can casue injurys. this is one of the last things they do in production. the production part is where all the actors do their job and take their roles up to the scenes.

Exhibition
Cinema exhibition is still the primary channel for films to reach their audiences and box office success. exhibition is a display of work of art, items or intrests. exhibition within film and media is when the film or trailer or poster is exhibit beforefilms comes out to promote the film and gets straights to the audience. this creates an idea of what is to come next with the film. and exhibition is almost like a display of work in a museum but instead on huge billboards or on a tv advert. Distributors supply the exhibitors with prints of the film. the more places the screen is showed on the more prints are needed.

Gabi Questionnaire

What is your favourite film?

A: Snatch

B:Scarface

C: White house down

D: Django un-chained

E: Shutter Island

This shows that most popular genres were Crime/Action, however Django un-chained is a Western based film. This highlights a different taste in genre when asking the chosen group. I also found the information interesting as Leonardo Dicaprio starred in two of the movies mentioned. This suggests that he is stereotyped and commonly recognised as an Action/Crime Actor.

How often do you visit the Cinema?

A: Once a month

B: Once every two months

C: Once a month

D: Twice a month

E: Once a month

This highlights that from this the teenagers asked mostly visited once a month. This suggests that cinema visits have been replaced with T.V and access to movies online. This is significant as it illuminates that when a group of movies hit the cinema that only one is being watched.

What is your favourite genre?

A: Action/Comedy

B: Gangster

C: Action

D: Horror

E: Comedy

The most popular is the Action/Comedy genres as this can be universal to both sexes. Cinema mostly shows these genres, possibly making it the most popular in the survey.

How much time do you spending watching films a week?

A: 2hrs a week

B: 2hrs a week

C: 3hrs a week

D: 5hrs a week

E: 4hrs a week

This averages to 3.2 hours of film watching a week. This is around the average length of a film and therefore would suggest that one film is being watched by this group of teenagers a week.

What are your thoughts on piracy?

A: I do it all the time.

B: I really have an opinion on it.

C: I don't really care.

D: I use it every day.

E: I don't like it, it is illegal and therefore I don't do it.

This is significant as it outlines that the current generation mostly use piracy to access programmes and movies online. Piracy is the costless option in some cases. A average cinema ticket for a student is £7.50 and therefore many will watch pirate films because it is cheap. However, this isn't good for the industry. If no money is being put into the industry, less and less money there is to put into films and actors. But saying this, piracy is far more accepted in our generation.
