a brief description of fim making +step involved in it

1. FILM
MAKING

2. Film making involves the
following things
Story , idea
Employment of a large number of people
Patience
Time depending on the complexity of the film
&the problems that comes up while making the film
Basic knowledge of making a film

3. Parts Pre-production—Preparations are made for the shoot,
1. cast and film crew are hired
2. locations are selected
3. sets are built
4. The Development stage, in which the ideas for the film are created
5. rights to books/plays are bought
6. the screenplay is written, occurs before Pre-production.
Production—The raw elements for the finished film are recorded.
 Post-Production—
1. The film is edited
2. production sound (dialogue) is concurrently (but separately) edited
3. music tracks (and songs) are composed, performed and recorded
4. sound effects are designed and recorded
5. computer-graphic 'visual' effects are digitally added
6. all sound elements are mixed into "stems" then the stems are mixed then married
to picture and the film is fully completed ("locked")

4. I. In this stage, the project's producer selects a story, which may come from a book,
play, another film, a true story, original idea, etc.
II. After identifying a theme or underlying message, the producer works with writers
to prepare a synopsis.
III. Next they produce a step outline, which breaks the story down into one-paragraph
scenes that concentrate on dramatic structure.
IV. Then, they prepare a treatment, a 25-to-30-page description of the story, its mood,
and characters. This usually has little dialogue and stage direction, but often
contains drawings that help visualize key points.
V. Next, a screenwriter writes a screenplay over a period of several months.
VI. A film distributor may be contacted at an early stage to assess the likely market and
potential financial success of the film.
VII. Hollywood distributors adopt a hard-headed business approach and consider factors such as
the film genre, the target audience, the historical success of similar films, the actors who
might appear in the film, and potential directors.
Development

5. PRODUCTION PROCESS
i. A director performing dual roles as director and camera operator gives instructions during the filming of
a scene.
ii. the video production/film is created and shot. More crew will be recruited at this stage, such as the
property master, script supervisor, assistant directors, stills photographer, picture editor, and sound
editors.
iii. the production office will be free to create any unique blend of roles to suit the various responsibilities
possible during the production of a film.
iv. A typical day's shooting begins with the crew arriving on the set/location by their call time.
v. Actors usually have their own separate call times. Since set construction, dressing and lighting can take
many hours or even days, they are often set up in advance.
vi. The grip, electric and production design crews are typically a step ahead of the camera and sound
departments: for efficiency's sake, while a scene is being filmed, they are already preparing the next
one.
vii. While the crew prepare their equipment, the actors are ward robed in their costumes and
attend the hair and make-up departments.
viii. The actors rehearse the script and blocking with the director, and the camera and sound
crews rehearse with them and make final tweaks.
ix. Finally, the action is shot in as many takes as the director wishes.

6. POST-PRODUCTION
• This is the final stage, where the film is released to cinemas or occasionally to
consumer media (DVD, VCD, VHS) or direct download from a provider.
• The film is duplicated as required for distribution to cinemas. Press kits, posters,
and other advertising materials are published and the film is advertised and
promoted.
• Film distributors usually release a film with a launch party, press releases,
interviews with the press, press preview screenings, and film festival screenings.
• Most films have a website. The film plays at selected cinemas and the DVD
typically is released a few months later. The distribution rights for the film and
DVD are also usually sold for worldwide distribution. The distributor and the
production company share profits.
• The film genre, the target audience, the historical success of similar films, the
actors who might appear in the film, and potential directors. All these factors
imply a certain appeal of the film to a possible audience during the theatrical
release. Not all films make a profit from the theatrical release alone, so film
companies take DVD sales and worldwide distribution rights into account.

7. SOME COMMON DIALOGUES DURING
FILM PRODUCTION
 “picture is up!” - to inform everyone that a take is about to be recorded
 “quiet, everyone!” - Once everyone is ready to shoot
 “roll sound” - if the take involves sound and the production sound mixer will start their
equipment
 “sound speed” - when they are ready
 “action background!” - If the take involves extras or background action,
 “action!” - telling the actors. The AD may echo "action" louder on large sets.
 “cut!” - A take is over when the director calls "cut!", and camera and sound stop recording. The
script supervisor will note any continuity issues and the sound and camera teams log technical notes
for the take on their respective report sheets. Once satisfied, the crew moves on to the next camera
angle or "setup," until the whole scene is "covered." When shooting is finished for the scene, the
assistant director declares a "wrap" or "moving on," and the crew will "strike," or dismantle, the set
for that scene.

8. Steps For making a
movie

9. I. Create your story.
II. Storyboard your film.
III. Develop an aesthetic for your film.
IV. Set design & Lighting
V. Assemble a crew.
VI. Cast your film.
VII.Dress the sets, or scout a location.
VIII.Gather and test your equipment.
IX. Film your movie.
X. Edit your film.
XI. Add sound effects and music.
XII.Create the title and credits sequences.
XIII.Export the film to a digital format DVD

10. Don't steal ideas when writing the script. Make sure the ideas are all your own and as original
as possible. You do not have the budget that Hollywood does so the only way you can stand out
is be unique.
Make sure that when you cast your actors, they are all committed to the work being a success.
Otherwise, an actor who is not willing to cooperate might jeopardize the outcome of the film.
Also, make sure you chose the right actors who fit the roles, as this would create a huge impact
on the film's end result. Treat your actors with respect, as any negative air or tension would
certainly affect the filming process. It will also affect your ability to hire more actors in the
future.
Don't put in jokes if they are not necessary, or if they are in bad taste. It could easily ruin the
artistic aspect. Unless it’s a movie about bad taste and rude jokes. In that case, eschew sincerity.
If filming in an actual location that does not belong to you, such as a diner, ask the owner or a
worker/manager for permission first. This would ensure that things are being done legally, the
proper procedure is being followed, and to avoid any delays or complications with the shoot.
Always get permission in writing so there are no questions later.
Take a lot of pictures during filming.
