The entertainment industry is composed of many parts, but the largest portion is made up of movie production. Every year, thousands of different films are produced, and each one of them is trying to be the next successful film at the box office. Making a film is an incredibly complex task, and the successful completion of a film requires a vast number of moving parts and people to work together as one. You must establish a filming crew consisting of hundreds of various jobs; every one of these unique jobs must be done well for a movie to turn out well. Of all the jobs, however, a movie executive's position is a profession that needs to be done well every time or the film won't get made. We'll be taking a look at what a movie executive's role in the whole process is in the process of making a film.
Of all the duties a movie executive must do, the most critical one is to find the financial resources for producing the film. Considering the size of the crew necessary, the equipment needed, and the cost to edit and produce the film, there is little way for anyone to generally fund a film independently. The movie executive will be someone who either knows someone at the production company who can provide the money, or they may just have the right connections to collect the necessary funding from a wide variety of sources. Like most executives in any industry, much of the job is of the wine and dine variety.
One consequence of being in charge of both finding and controlling the money for a film is that a movie executive will often exert executive control over a movie's direction. Most of the decisions on how the movie comes about will, naturally, be handled by the actual director.
When the director makes a certain decision or tries to create a scene that will overtly affect the finances or box office take of a film in a negative way, the movie executive will usually step in and offer suggestions for correcting the mistake. Because a movie executive will have worked in the industry for years, she'll have a wide range of experience on which to draw to determine what kind of a look will achieve the best results. With years of experience behind her, a movie executive will understand how to optimize movies in all kinds of genres; this can be used to streamline the direction of a film.
After all the work of making a movie is done, the excecutive must then start promoting it effectively. Of all the advertising methods available for a film, movie executives usually choose TV commercials and actors coming on to talk shows.
