Ownership and production- The Hollywood Majors.

Distribution- the most important part in the idustry.

A succesful film brand can be sold in a number of different ways apart from theatrical exhibition.
Dvd, blu-rays, network tv, internet downloads, soundtrack albulms and video games.

Synergy- film industry where multiple products and services are created on the basis of a succesful brand within the same corporation.

Press junkets- organised by distributions to generate press interest (all day interviews for the actors)

Studio era- 1930's-1960's, actors signed up to one studio only and only made films for that studio.

Exhibition- Big budget films are normally released accross a large number of screens.

Multiplexs- they house a large number of screens under one roof (reducing staffing costs and other overheads) close to shopping malls, bowling alleys, bars and resaurants.

The independant- ie, not part of conglomerate

-often give limited release.

Vertical integration
