PRODUCTION
BY KEIRAN CARTER

2. THE IDEA
Original ideas are the most valuable key idea in the film making
industry. Books also inspire people to make films to because
books can get popularity which inspires people to make films.
Producers are always looking for great ideas to write down for a
film that they believe will attract audiences. The creative
development of a film always involves the director sooner or
later and often their involvement begins very early in the
development process.

3. Development finance
Turning an idea to a finish script can take a long time
because of money. Funding is needed to support the
director, producer and writer during this progress.
This money is called development funding.

4. Script Development
The producer and writer are still working very closely together at
this stage because they still need to develop on the film like add
more to the script and make it better. Then once the director
writer and producer have all approved on the script it becomes
the final piece

5. Packaging
First the producer takes the sale treatment and the final script
then comes up with a budget. Stars are in adverts and are
attracting to the funding of the film. A top editor can transform a
film getting a well known name editor on board early can help
persuade potential financiers that the finished product will be a
fun and enjoyable piece of cinema.

6. Finance
The hardest part about film making process is investment
needed to actually make the movie.
In return for finance, the sales company will want to sell the right
film to distribution companies to some or all territories. There
are departments in banks that specializes in film making. Studio
financed movies do not usually require completion bonds
because a studio takes the financial risk. Film financing is a very
crucial part of the actual movie and it also the most trickiest part
of movie making.

7. Preproduction
The preproduction is a very important stage because it means
that everyone in the production team is getting ready to film.
First the cast director, will need to start to auditions for casts for
all the roles for the script. The editor is the one who chooses
people that will need to be required to be in the movie at least
once. The head of sound is very important to cause he will have
to hire some of his crew for the boom mics and stuff.

8. Preproduction
The cast director has a very important role in the movie because without
her there would be no cast. Also she can identify cast members through
the way they act and how much expression they give in their
performance. The director will use a storyboard to sketch out all the
scenes for the movie. Most films have a storyboard artist to help the
director to come up with sketches for the actual movie. The director of
photography is usually called up at this point because they want to make
sure that he understand what he is supposed to do.

the movie by creating props and stuff for it. The visual effect

holding the mic as close as it can to catch some
sound on the set. The sound recordist is a very
important person because he helps get all the
sounds that are needed for the film.

13. Post production
The Editor has to effectively remake the film in an
edit suit. Once all the sounds and effects are all
created after that the final mixes will begin . The

for the film. When the film is finished there will be
things called the credits with everyone's name who
have taken part in the movie.

people to see the movies so it will guarantee to make
progress and money for the film. The uk has over
