PART 1
Production
1) What are the stages involved in
producing a film – what do they include from the early idea to the final edit
when the film is ready to be sold to cinemas and promoted to the public?
Ø
Pre-production: this is where all the planning of the project takes place. If the
script is not already written it will be done at this stage. During
pre-production, the production is broken down into individual scenes and all
the locations, props, cast members, costumes, special effects and visual
effects are identified.
Ø
Production: the
film is carried out at this stage. All the scenes that were planned out in
pre-production will be filmed at the right and relevant locations. Each scene
is filmed as many times the director wants, to make sure the scene is well
recorded and has the best quality which will be used to create the film. Great care must be taken to make sure that all the filming is done
correctly and all necessary shots are taken, as it is sometimes difficult or
impossible to go back and repeat certain events if the filming is incomplete
when it comes to the post-production stage.
Ø Post-production: this is
where all the editing part takes place by of course the editor. The unwanted
parts of the scenes are take out in order to have the
best shots. The next part is to create a fine cut by getting all the shots to
flow smoothly in a seamless story. Trimming - the process of shortening scenes
by a few minutes, seconds, or even frames - is done during this phase. As well
as the editing of footage, all music, graphics, menus etc. are added in this
stage. After the fine cut has been screened and approved by the director and
producer, the picture is "locked," meaning no further changes are
made.
2) Who are the main producers of films in
America?
Ø Steve Spielberg

Robert
Zemeckis

3)
How might the ownership of the studio have an impact
on what films the studio makes?
The ownership of the studio will determine the number of options for the type of films, scenarios and the way they will film. It can also influence the quality\ price.
4)
What is
independent production?
