Logistics of a film

It is everything that goes on behind the film.
The distributors have to meet the legal requirements.
To buy the 35mm prints it costs around £100.
For small clips, each one lasts for 18 to 20 minutes.
They belong to the people producing the film.
The distributors rent out the prints to the vue, cineworld, etc.
Independant films can only afford £100.
3-D or substitutes cost way more.

1. Prints are hired
2. Onto a delivery van
3. To the cinema
4. Onto an assembly bench
5. Through the projector
6. Back through the process and onto the next cinema

When it has all finished it gets stored.

When in the van if it is damaged they have a lot of spares to use and to replace to damaged one, this is called theatrical coverage.
