This is the first stage in the cycle. At this stage the key things such as the director, main cast and the cinematographer. The final script is also ready by the end. Also all other things such as props and sets are made in preparation of the production.

This is where the deal is made with a distributor who will start a marketing campaign this usually involves posters being made and trailers being shown to promote interest for the film. Also sometimes stars of the film and the director do interviews too gain interest. 


Exhibition
This is when the film is sold to cinemas at agreed prices and the film gets a percentage of the ticket price. This is why they try to make money from food.

Fight club -exhibition part 3

Fight club was released on DVD in two editions, single and a two disc special edition. Releasing the film on DVD was what made the film more popular.  It was re-released in 2009 on blu-ray to celebrate the 10 year anniversary of the film. $721,135 was made from DVD sales.

Fight club -exhibition part 2

Fight club has been reviewed many times, here it has been reviewed by the british BBC. I agree with this review because I think it would offend many and it does challenge the modern world. Also it is the story of a man who has become sucked in to his boring job which he breaks free from.
This is a US review by the famous Roger Ebert. I do not agree with this review because the film is not a none stop fight marathon and it doesn't matter that you can't punch some that hard in real life because it is not about that as the film is slightly surreal as it was shown in the opening scene and the scene with the penguin.
