Is Hollywood bigger than Bollywood?
Film producers face the greatest challenge: how to get their movie noticed by the audience.
Problem is, there are many movies competing to people's attention and money. And if you don't stand out from the crowd, you won't have much chance of getting watched.
But what makes a movie great? What makes an actor famous or a director? Or a director? It's more than talent, it's also luck. You might have all the best actors in the world, but if they're working on a bad script, nothing will come of it.
And when it comes to films, there are two main types: big-budget blockbusters and small independent productions. Blockbuster movies cost hundreds of millions of dollars to produce and distribute. They are typically made by huge studios who want to ensure that their movies reach a wide audience. But, these high-budget films are more appealing to older audiences.
Independent films are generally smaller-scale productions that may be financed by individuals or groups of investors. These films focus on niche markets or cater to particular tastes. These films are usually easier to market and produce. But, they aren't necessarily cheaper to view. In fact, most indie films are very hard to find.
Is it possible to have both types of films? Is it necessary to have both blockbuster and independent movies? Hollywood is much bigger than Bollywood. Hollywood produces twice as many movies per annum than India.
Why are there so few independent films that get released?
Indie filmmakers tend to assume that distributors will buy their films.
Because they are confident that the public will love their film, they believe distributors would be willing to buy it.
However, this is seldom the case. Distributors often profit from independent filmmakers.
They use tactics such as delaying a film's release date until after awards season has ended.
They delay the release of a low-budget movie until after the summer blockbuster seasons has started.
Distributors try to keep films out of the hands of audiences until they've spent hundreds on tickets, popcorn, and candy.
After all, they don't want to lose out on those profits.
Hollywood became famous because of its fame.
The answer was obvious. They took risks and did something different to make it popular. They made films that would last a lifetime.
And they also had the courage to experiment with new ideas.
