When people think about movies, films, and documentaries business aspects do not really come to mind. They are more set on the action, special effects, funny parts etc. But behind all of that comes the production of these movies and films which tie into the business aspects of it. Process of making a film or documentary starts with an idea that someone had come up with, than that idea is edited and reformed to where it would be an amusement for the audience. It happens all over the world and it takes a long time until it is ready to release. Between that, there are so many techniques and contexts that are needed, along with a number of people to help the process move. Now if you think about it all of those people have a specific job and are getting paid so not only are all of the above a major part so is the money. Reading about film making I came across an interesting fact. The longest production time for a major motion picture is "The Thief and the Cobbler" which took 28 years to produce and air to the audience. In my case I am going to describe two =====

For my first example I am using the documentary film Startup.com. It’s about two young men who one left school and another leaving his job to being working on this project. They needed to find someone who could financially help and support them because it costs a good amount of money to produce projects like this. And that is there the business aspects come into play. They have an idea to create an online revenue collection company for the government which is how they got the name GovWorks.com. This relates to business because without knowing some background about it they couldn’t complete some of the tasks that needed to be done. For example building capital along with the website and all the options it'd need to collect the government’s revenues. From what I read I got that they basically dropped their current life styles to start producing something that they wouldn’t know the outcome too and took that risk. They did a good job because the film was distributed to Lions Gates Entertainment which is widely known in the film industry. =====

This movie is about a kid (founder of Facebook) who is a student at Harvard and is going for computers. Every thing he does through out his time at school wither it's going out to eat, on a date with a girl, or hanging with friends he gets more and more ideas about this website he is working on for a very long time. After six years of brainstorming and going about things the right way and legally which plays with the business part of this movie, a mere 500 million friends later, he creates Facebook, which is one of the biggest social networks in today’s time. Not to mention the youngest billionaire because of this website. But they said if it wasn’t for business and entrepreneur skills it wouldn’t have been as successful as it was and still is going till this day. =====

I think no matter what the situation is business aspects are always coming into play. Being a business students and learning so many techniques and information that people wouldn’t know unless you were learning about this major. If you think about it, no matter what in life includes making decisions and involving money which all comes down to business at some point or another. The two movies listed above as examples are just a few of them that are out there. People don’t really see past all the other parts of the movies and films which is what is suppose to happen and would never know until they would look into it. Even knowing a lot about business still some one the information that I read was new to me. =====
