Why are films made?

Now you 'know' HOW a film is made, you're nwo going to look into WHY a film is made. 

Mark Kermode believes it is impossible for a Blockbuster ot lose money is they just follow some simple rules.

Those rules are:

1. A newsworthy budget
2. Spectacular visuals
3. NOT be a comedy
4. Include and 'A list star'

These rules can be seen to fit into the five categories of film production.

• Pre production (all the stuff that happens before filming)
• Production (all the stuff that happens whilst filming)
• Post prodcuton (all the stuff you do after filming to put the film together)
• Marketting (advertising your film)
