The Film Journey: From Concept to Screen
What needs to happen before you sit down to enjoy watching a film? Starting with the sources for film content, and moving on to how films are financed and produced, we progress to how distribution rights are negotiated. The marketing of films takes place across many platforms, until the film reaches its final destination on screens near you or through other technologies.
This course introduces you to the basics of film production, distribution and exhibition and will be of interest to anybody who enjoys films for fun or who seeks to gain an understanding of these important area of the creative industries.
