Film Industry

The film industry is one of the largest and most profitable sectors in the media industry. In the UK 27,800 people  work in the film industry - 62% are employed in exhibition, 34% in production and the remaining 4% in distribution.

There are six different specific parts of the film industry, all of which have their own jobs:
Development, 
production, 
facilities, 
distribution, 
exhibition, 
export.

The film industry is dominated by many major companies: 
Paramount, 

Universal, 

21st Century Fox, 

Disney, and many more. 

These multimillion pound companies tend to produce the big blockbuster films, such as Star Wars: The Force Awakens, as they have bigger budgets to produce and market the films.

There are, however, a few smaller film companies, such as 
Pinewood Studios, a small British film company. 

Films produced by smaller studios tend to be small, cult-films. However, these films can sometimes become successful, popular films.
