how is the film industry related to other industries in the market?
Answers
Answer:
If I’m understanding the question correctly the film industry is very related to other industries. It has deep connections with the military, manufacturing, and contract labor.
It’s very easy to think of films as just actors, directors, and writers, but it is so much more than that. Sets are manufactured by third-party manufacturers (usually specializing in wood-based products). Prop guns and training on weaponry is often supplied by the military, who frequently also outsource set consultants to train both actors and extras. They also draw on thousands of local employees from camera techs, to rig operators, local production assistants, day players, various liaisons, package and mail carriers, logistics, retail, car dealerships, car collectors, vintage military collectors, use of buildings/property for locations, hotels for cast and crew, make-up artists, barbers, hairstylists, prop masters, carpenters, electricians, plumbers, stunt performers, police, firefighters, EMTs, lawyers, doctors, gaffers, rental houses, rental warehouses, government officials, etc.
Needless to say, these can become huge undertakings. One production provides thousands upon thousands of jobs, and can have huge ripple effects on state economies.
The Dark Knight and The Dark Knight Rises provided nearly ten thousand jobs a day during the height of filming.
It may be a bit of an exaggeration, but a movie large enough could pull together nearly every business on the planet.
Movies are like any other business, but they are completely unlike any other business in terms of their size and scope.
