The Greatest Myths About Films

By Kevin Jesse


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. There are literally hundreds of different jobs involved in making a movie, and all of them are important to get the job done. If there is one job that must be done right in every aspect in order for a movie to work, it is the job of movie executive. In order to better understand how important a movie executive is to making a successful movie, we'll take a closer look at the job description.

The most important job of a movie executive is to actually find the money to make a film. It's incredible how quickly a film can spend money; there are huge crews to pay and feed, large blocks of equipment to purchase or rent, and editing costs start adding up very quickly. A movie executive will typically find funding either from the production company she works for or from a vast network of professional connections she has spent a lifetime cultivating. Like most executives in any industry, much of the job is of the wine and dine variety.

Since the movie executive holds the metaphorical purse strings, she is often responsible for some of the resulting look of the film and how it comes about. The movie's director will be in charge of most of the day-to-day decisions, of course; this is her main job.

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. When it comes to finding the secret to box office success, a movie executive draws on this well of experience to figure out the best changes to make to editing, direction, and storyline.

Movie executives must also handle the promotion of a film when it's finished. There are many methods of promoting a movie: commercials, actors visiting talk shows, and posters are the most common.
