 Always been fascinated by film  Good conversation Why Movies?

 Have an idea  Provide money  Make decisions  Meet deadlines What does it mean to produce a film?

 Create story  Write script  Cinematography  Oversee entire production  Direct actors  Editing What does that mean for me?

The Process 2. Production 1. Preproduction 3. Post-Production

 Beginning of Preproduction  Brainstorming  Ask “Why?” The Story

 Take the story and give it direction  Every conversation, and every situation is orchestrated into a script  Redraft, redraft, redraft Writing

 Think about how many different shots are in one film  Draw it out  Frame by frame  Without storyboards, filming would be a difficult process be a difficult process Storyboarding

 Search for places that fit each scene  Not always real (that’s why we have studios) Location Scouting

 Find actors who fit a role  Auditions  Screen tests Casting

 “It’s not what you say, it’s how you say it.”  Practice makes perfect Rehearse, Rehearse, Rehearse

 This begins Production  Make it all come together  Makeup  Special effects Action!

 Begin Post-Production  Putting together the puzzle pieces  Essential to the filmmaking process  Requires long hours Editing
