Production
The process in which the film is made. The film goes through script writing, casing, shooting and editing in this stage so
it's ready for screening. This process is the main part of the film making. This can take from months to years
Pre-Production
The designing of the film and the preparation towards it. This includes script writing, prop gathering and location
finding. All these things help towards the film making so they have everything ready in advance.
Post-Production
The editing of the film, the final stage in the making of the film so it may then go on to be advertised. The post-
production is what makes the film "bearable to watch" by adding cuts,effects and adding the scenes together. Usually
the editing is the most important part of the film as it helps string the scenes together and decide what scenes to use and
what clips they don't want in the film.
Distribution

the audience and ready to be sold to stores and sold to the customers/consumers.they do this by using advertising.

Exhibition
The final stage in the whole of the film making, the film is shown to the target audience and the red carpet event, when
the actors and directors walk down the carpet to receive awards and recognition for the film they helped to
make.this is a public event used to show off the actors and host the premier of the movie.
