Scope and Nature of Film

Three Components Systems

Production

Production is the making of movies. Technology, too, has affected the production.

Distribution

Distribution was once as simple as making prints of films and sending them to theatres. Now it means supplying these movies to television networks, cable and satellite networks, and makers of videocassettes and videodiscs.

Exhibition

It is no surprising to any moviegoer that exhibitors make such of their money on concession sales of items that typically have an 80% profit margin, accounting for 25% of theatres total revenues. This is the reason that matinees and budget nights are attractive promotions for theatres.
