Film Industry - Sorry its late :'(

Production

The first thing anyone who is interested in making a film must do is to come up with the concept and ideas of what themes and ideas the film may incorporate which will help tell the story and write a script. Budding film producers may decide to carry a pen around with them in case an idea pops in to their head randomly so that they don’t forget it.

The next step to making a film will be to write a script. A script is a term used to describe a story, setting, and dialogue which is almost used as an instruction book in which actors and people working on the set of a film will use  to know what is going on while shooting and a way in which for actors to line their role and lines for their performance.

Once a script has been written a story board is needed. A story board is a series of rough sketches that will be sent off to professional companies in order to get funding and professional equipment needed for the making of your film. Examples of film companies are 20^th Century Fox and Universal Studios.

 

 

 

 

Film crew and cast are obviously needed in order for your film to come together and make it successful. There are many different agencies and websites producers can use to find actors that suit roles of their films and well qualified crew members they may need. Auditions may be used to decide who will or will not get the role of a character.

A shooting script will also need to be prepared. A shooting script contains scenes placed in order of shooting, usually using technical language and/or drawings. A shooting script is essentially a script which breaks the film in to scenes, placed in order as to where and when they will be filmed. They can use sketches or photographs of locations. They may also include names of different types of shots e.g. medium shot.

Filming schedules may also be used for organisation purposes. A schedule will help keep track of progress and gives you control of day to day shooting of the film. You can allocate how much time you feel is needed for each shot, by looking at your storyboards and shooting script simultaneously.

Finally you will need to prepare equipment.  Equipment may vary depending on the type of film being shot. For example films such as Avatar use special effects and used a 3D camera to get the effects it did. Equipment also depends on the budget of the film. If it is a low budget, homemade film a low costing camcorder will obviously be used where as if it is a Hollywood film it will use the best cameras and equipment.
