Film production is the process of making a film.
Development - This is simply the process of 'finding' a story. Ideas for
films come from a variety of sources, they can range from novels, real life events
to computer game adaptations. Once you've got an idea you'll need someone to
write a pitch for you which you take to a film producer in an attempt to get
some funding to make your film. Even at this very early stage you need a very
clear idea of who you're aiming you film at so you can include elements that
will appeal to them.
Pre-production - Once you've got funding you establish your budget and can
begin to get a film crew together, you can storyboard the script. You also need
break the script down into individual scenes and identify all the
locations, props, cast members, costumes, special effects and visual effects
needed.
Production - This is simply the process of 'making' the film. Provided
you've done your job properly in the pre-production stage making the film
should be straight forward. 'Film' is very expensive and difficult to store so
an increasing number of film makers are using digital cameras to save money.
Post-production - During this stage you take all the 'film' you've shot and
give it to a film editor. They will then begin putting it together. Special
effects will be added, a soundtrack will be added, any missing dialogue will be
re-recorded and added resulting in a 'rough cut'. This will be shown to the
director and a test audience who will offer feedback. Often this causes scenes
to be filmed and added or removed.
Roles in production
Writer - The role of a writer, also known as a script writer, is to prepare stories and instructions for films, television, plays and commercials. The job is essential, as without the scrip writer there is no production. The script writer creates the story line, characters and dialog for any piece of staged presentation
Producer - Producers play an integral role in the television, film and video industries. A producer will oversee each project from conception to completion and may also be involved in the marketing and distribution processes. Producers work closely with the directors and other production staff on a shoot.
Casting director - A casting director is a middleman who finds the actors needed to fill roles in movies, TV shows, theatrical productions, commercials or even corporate and music videos.
Director - Generally, a film director controls a film's artistic and dramatic aspects, and visualizes the script while guiding the technical crew and actors in the fulfillment of that vision. The director has a key role in choosing the cast members, production design, and the creative aspects of film making.
Film Finance - is an aspect of film production that occurs during the development stage prior to pre-production, and is concerned with determining the potential value of a proposed film.
Camera Operator - sometimes informally called a cameraman or a camerawoman, is a professional operator of a film or video camera. In filmmaking, the person designing the lighting is the cinematographer or director of photography, who is also informally called a "cameraman" though it is a different job. This job is important as the production wouldn't be able to be done with out a camera man or it wouldn't be as professional.
Editor - film editing is the art, technique, and practice of assembling shots into a coherent sequence. The job of an editor is not simply to mechanically put pieces of a film together, cut off film slates, or edit dialogue scenes.
Production Designer - are responsible for the visual concept of a film, television or theatre production. They identify a design style for sets, locations, graphics, props, lighting, camera angles and costumes, while working closely with the director and producer.
Marketing - This is when the movie company advertises their new movie in any way, this can be on tv, social media, trailers, on sides of buses or in news papers. Also it can be selling merchandises to do with the new production. When doing this job it can include doing market research. The role of this job is important because the company wants the product to be promoted out to loads of people so they can make more profit back.
Exhibition - is the way that the movie producers play their movie to the public, they can do this by playing it in cinemas. Cinemas fall into 1 of 2 categories: national chains; and independent exhibitors. The specific programming will depend on the target audience, with large chains often filling their multiplexes with blockbuster fare and individual independents more likely to cater to art-house crowds. A natural entry route to exhibition is to work in a cinema. Chains employ significant numbers of people to handle ticketing, confectionery sales (where cinemas tend to make the bulk of their profits), and film projection. Those working for independent exhibitors may be more involved in its programming as the cinema establishes a distinct identity for itself. The exhibition is important because with out this there wouldn’t be any movie at all.
