The writer is responsible for writing the script. Once
they've handed over the script that's pretty much the whole of their creative
involvement with the project. If the producer has hired the writer to write the
film the producer can ask for a re write of the script or even opt to bring in
other writers if they don't feel the script is working, which is quite common.
The producer: A producer is commonly know for choosing the
complete storyline of the film and almost independently shaping it together.
Also, hire the director, choose the cast which is very important to get
attention when marketing, negotiate rights and fully market the film. Therefore
this role is one of the most important as its the complete structure of the
film, and therefore as seen in the past, a lot of help will be given.
Casting director: After a film has been accepted and is
ready to go, the director and producers hire a casting company to find the
right talent for the production. A casting director's will first read the
script scrip and then advise the producers and director on which stars to use
in the film. This is a key area when developing the film as a lot of people
will simply go and watch a film if their favourite actor is playing a part
Director: Usually, a film director controls a film's key
aspects, and has control over the script whilst guiding the technical crew and
actors in the correct direction. The director has a key role in choosing the
cast members, production design, and the creative aspects of filmmaking.
Camera operator: The camera operator is responsible for
physically operating the camera and maintaining composition and camera angles
throughout a given scene or shot. In narrative filmmaking, the camera operator
will collaborate with the director, director of photography, actors and crew to
make technical and creative decisions.
Film Finance: Film finance is an aspect of film production
that occurs during the development process prior to pre production, and is
concerned with determine the potential value of the film. This outcome will
decide where money should be spent in areas of the film development such as
marketing which all in all will decide the films possible revenue.
Editing: As a film editor, they are responsible for assembling
a recorded raw material into a finished product that's suitable for
broadcasting. The material may include camera footage, dialogue, sound effects,
graphics and special effects.
Production designer: Production designers are responsible
for the visual outlook of a film. They identify a design style for sets,
locations, graphics, props, lighting, camera angles and costumes, while working
closely with the director and producer. So generally they are in charge of the
majority of mise en scene.
Marketing: The procedure in which a film company decide to
advertise there film. They can do this by putting up billboards, images on the
side of buses, tv adverts and many more. This can come at a very large cost and
be one of the most expensive costs a company can pay for. However this will
help to determine the overall revenue the film makes and is one of the most
important things when producing a film.
Exhibition: An exhibition is a large public showing, for
instance this will be a film. An example of an exhibition is a film premier
where they show off the movie and outline what its about.
Stages of film production 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.
