Guardians of the galaxy 
Is a 2014 superhero film directed by James Gunn and was produced by Kevin Feige. With a budget of $170 million the movie was released on August 1st lasting approximately 122 minutes In the US and was premiered in Hollywood on the 21st of July (3D and IMAX). The main cast of the movie consist of Bradley Cooper, Chris Pratt, Vin Diesal, Dave Bautista and Zoe Saldana. Much of the films success was due to the light-hearted humor, playful soundtrack, direction of Gunn took the movie and the performance of the actors. In order to market this movie a trailer was made showing the most appealing aspects of the movie as well as posters placed in many different locations to make the movie more eye catching and appealing to the target audience and get it more publicity to a wider range of audiences through billboards. The film is available worldwide so as many people as possible were able to access it leading to it's critical and financial success, having grossed over $732 million worldwide. Gunn also made use of the technologies available to him to give the movie a more realistic and practical look for the audience/viewers, with the use of CGI(computer generated imagery) and motion capture. He used these on scenes that he would have been unable to make naturally and make it seem as possible and realistic as he could without actually performing the actions themselves e.g floating in space. There was also a great use of synergy in the movie because a large amount of different companies were included like moving picture company,  sony picture imageworks,  method studios and many more. One of the main examples of cross media convergence is the soundtrack used for the movie, which included a large amount of songs used from the 1960/70 era and Tyler Bates such as the most commonly used song in trailers 'hooked on a feeling'. Guardians of the galaxy is scheduled  to be released by Walt Disney Studios Home Entertainment for digital download on November 18,2014 and on Blue-ray, Blu-ray 3D, and DVD on December 9, 2014. The movie is scheduled to be released on Blu-ray, Blu-ray 3D, and DVD on November 24, 2014 in the United Kingdom. The target audience for this film ranges from Teenagers/young people to anyone of any age above that are interested in the franchise.

The ownership of the studio may have an impact on what films the studio makes because the ownership decides what gets published by them, and only publishes what they prefer. So that means the decide what the studio does in order for it to be published.
An independent production is a production over which an artist which maintains complete creative, artistic and editorial controls.
Films are promoted in different ways to target different audiences like in forum discussions, newsletters, Facebook pages, fan clubs & sites etc.
For example, Korean film, Confessions is not in english, and is promoted visually so we could get an idea of what type of film it is.
Distribution
Distribution is sharing things out among people.
after the editing stage, they promote the film by using posters, trailers etc. then rent out cinemas all over the area for a certain period of time.
film distributors distributes films and producers sometimes some times does it and sometimes it’s the company who owns them instead.
the traditional way of distributing film is through tv trailers
A film festival is an organised, extended presentation of films in one or more cinemas or screening venues, usually in a single city or region. Increasingly, film festivals show some films outdoors. This helps to promote films, and make them more money.
Distribution is essential to the film chain because if a film is made and is not distributed, then that means its not available for citizens to view or even know about. If a film can't secure a distribution deal, then most probably it won’t be able to go to cinema, and will not make any money at all.
Marketing
the action or business of promoting and selling products or services, including market research and advertising.


exhibition
These days, we get to see films by cinema, online streaming, TV, netflix/lovefilm, mobile phones, blu-ray, dvd player, projectors etc.
A box office is a place where tickets are sold to the public for admission to an event. Patrons may perform the transaction at a countertop, through an unblocked hole through a wall or window, or at a wicket.
In a successful film, the people who receive the earnings are; producers, directors, actors and distributors.
Cinema makes their money by tickets, concessions, onscreen advertisements, and costs.
Cinema encourages the audience to visit the cinema instead of watching it at home by providing ticket concessions, 3D movies and offers.
Ancillary markets are films not shown in cinema, like home video, television, Pay Per View, VOD, Internet streaming, airlines and others.
This enables the exhibition of film because its still being watched outside of cinemas.
BFI means British film industry, and they are required to use the lottery fund to support film development, production and distribution in the UK. This helps films become published and be successful in the UK and many parts of the world.

PRODUCTION
There are 3 main steps to producing a film. First, is "PRE-PRODUCTION". This stage is where the budget is set and the insurence set up. A script is also written up, The producer pre-visualise the film and with a help of a concept artist can storyboard the film. They also sort out the cast, locations and props during this stage.The amount of crew used is  determined by how much the budget is( The bigger it is the bigger the crew can be) so a Hollywood blockbuster would have a large crew but an independet film would have a small crew. The second stage is PRODUCTION, this is when they start to actually film and get the shots needed. They will use the scrips and other elements they planned in Pre-production to film. They can take several hours to film one scene or a couple of days, it all depends on id the director is happy with the shots taken. The final stage is PRE-PRODUCTION. This is where the filming is finished so the footage is ready to be edited together. In this stage they cut and piece together the film(put the scenes in the right order). They do this so the film makes sense when watched and makes some scenes seem seamless. They can also the add extra audio,music and sound effects to creat emotion  during certain scenes.

"the action of sharing something out among a number of recipients."

This is usally done by a film distributor. The may set a release date and other matters around that subject. The newer way to distribute a film is by hard drive. Its key to get a distribution deal because if you don't no one will see the film.

MARKETING


This is when the audience/public gets to see the what the film is like/about. This done through the media e.g. Bus ads, TV ads, cinema trailers, billboards, posters, ads on popular social network sites.


EXHIBITION

Most people watch films by going to the cinema, going online or buying the DVD. The box office is basically showing how much money the film has made overall. You can also tell if the film had made a profite or not because you can compare the budget of the film and the box office. If the box office is higher then thr film has made money. The producers and actors normally get the money if the film does well. The money made in cinema's are made through the film and through the refrements they sell.


BFI

BFI= British Film Institute
They help to promote the film even more so more people see it. The BFI help the British Film Industry because it has a charity which supporrs film makers.
