Funding Structures

Initial Issues:

  • Initial investment - A company, machinery, locations and personnel have to be arranged.
  • A constant demand and supply.
  • Paid market research.
  • Employment in marketing and advertisement to keep the public interested.
  • Industry factors have to be predicted carefully.
  • Staffing costs.
  • Risks.

Guaranteeing Success or Reducing The Risk:
  • The production of a prequel or sequel.
  • Popular or known actors/directors/script-writers.
  • Developing the film from an existing format, e.g. a novel/play.
  • High Budget
  • Teasers
  • Avoiding duplication of genre with another film being released at the same time.
