THE IMPACT OF DIFFERENT FUNDAMENTALS OF FILM IN THE SUCCESS OR FAILURE OF THE INDUSTRY 1) Introduction The Film Industry is an important vehicle for genial, heathen, political and economic increase because a well nurtured take on industry stomach be a major source of consumption and an effective shaft and platform for the cultured expression of the flock. The industry can also promote a countrys potential as an investment and tourist destination and as an advocacy neb and shaper of opinion re live on can in itself be used to effectively demystify cultural and ethnic differences by using it to promote integration and unity of people.Film is not only a alsol for information and entertainment but also a powerful communications instrument for national integration, for social and economic development and for the exploitation, preservation and further enrichment of cultural heritage. By writing this paper I conception to adventure out the different factors that contribute to t he growth and failure of the film industry in general. This in turn helps the current students learning film end product and those already in the film caper because they can improve or learn from the shortcomings of the current methods.The audience will also benefit from this because they get to estimate what it entails to produce a film. (1. 2) Background The Kenyan film industry has improved drastically from the hay long metre of only using one editing suite for the whole country and not using hook notch equipment. People build become creative and innovative with the development and advancement in technology. Although these benefits lay on our side, there be some challenges that decline the growth of film industry. Capital and FinanceIn order to produce good quality films we need a large come of capital for the issue and marketing. Good quality films need a large tot up of capital for production and marketing scarce corresponding we observe from our Hollywood counte rpart where millions of dollars are spent in production and marketing and this begins their films unvanquishable with quality in the film market. The production of a film requires lots of traveling, costume designing, hiring of affiliate partners like production houses among other(a) expenses incurred during the whole production process.Before a movie appears on your screen or a cinema hall, it goes on a very long process which might take a flow of more than one year, during this whole period the actors and actresses need to satisfy their daily needs and hence they are signed a contract in which they are paid. All these require a large amount of capital which is still a scarce in many Kenyan industries. Limited creativity unmatchable important factor in finding Kenyas film voice comes in the very graduation stages of a film telling the story. Sitati (2008) explained that attention to cinematic storytelling is the keyThats been our biggest challenge here.We have excellent storie s beingness told, but sitting and formulating a story and creatively bringing out the true aspect of what it is you involve to bring out, thats what is lacking. We have excellent cameramen, but its important to have a creative story. The few films that have been produced locally lack enough creativenesses in the storyline and the production itself. Creativity is a quality that makes a product distinguishable from others because of its uniqueness, and when it lacks, the whole project is incompetent. Market Another challenge explored in this study focuses on what to do with a film once it has been completed.The market for African films is still a way too far from reaching a climax where it tops the film charts across the globe with Nigeria struggling. This makes the movies outdated beforehand making a major sale in the market some dates the cost of production overtakes the amount of sale. For a Kenyan film to find an audience, both within Kenya and without, it needs to be irresist ibly good. This is an unavoidable consequence of the development of the Kenyan film industry. Beginning with a solid foundation in film education, the films to come from Kenyas educated filmmakers cant help but pointtually be deserve of international attention.A great film will get noticed. Film policies The policies governing the film industry in Kenya have restricted the production of certain films example Otto The Blood Birth, a film produced in Kenya by Kenyans was banned even before its release to the market simply because it was a genre type horror. This demotivates local and international film makers who had a potential of investing in this industry. Piracy Piracy is a world(a) issue affecting software and film industry all over the world. In Kenya, music and other entertainment productions have severely suffered this crime which is way too far to be stopped.As the World flooring Organization sees it, it starts with education in the principles of storytelling with the lang uage of film, embedded in the indigenous life and culture of the people better stories being told better. As Kenyas film industry organizes itself, it will lead to greater opportunities and prosperous filmmakers, drawing the attention of local businesses, rewarding them for taking a risk in investing in Kenyan film. These stories will lead to memorable, distinctly Kenyan films that will be irresistibly good, garnering attention even beyond Kenyas borders.As the industry grows more secure, so will the audience following the product. A film made in Kenya will be able to be relied upon to provide quality, unique, challenging, noteworthy, and important films as time goes on. This should be the vision for a self-sustaining, indigenous film industry in Kenya. 1. 3 Problem statement The overall research problem addressed in this study is that despite having all the relevant facilities and equipments to make beautiful work we are still lagging behind. We have had exposure to film for abou t 60 years but e havent taken the advantage of this and compete against the big guns. The main(prenominal) problem is that people enter into film with their mind set that they will be making currency and become millionaires, they should first see it as a passion because it might reach a time that they will have to do free stuff for people and do other extra jobs so as to make ends meet. This in turn makes them quit half way. 1. 4 The Purpose of the Study The target of this study is to find out the different factors that contribute to the growth and failure of the film industry in general.This in turn helps the current students learning film production and those already in the film business because they can improve or learn from their mistakes.

(1. 7) Limitations and Delimitations Due to time limits on the study, however, the population was restricted to the school, MMU.Because the majority of studies concerned with the aspect of the smear needed to be addressed more with the media students than with any other respondents so as to determine the problem. (1. 8) conceptual framework The major yardstick used to measure th e successful output of the industry is the number of productions that are done in a year. We still dont have the 40% of local contented in our television even though we have the best quality of equipments in the country. The input into the production process includes the audience, creative work, capital. The study seeks to establish the best way we can help the industry to move forward.
