Production

 

Production is a company that is involved in helping with making a play, movie, or record. For the production to start filming, they hire additional crew members to revise the script continuity while they are filming. They also have someone to oversee and acquire the stage props. Did you know that the production stage has another name which is principal photography?

In order to make a production, there are 4 steps needed to be followed: development, pre-production, production, and postproduction.

The Development stage:

·         Focuses on initial elements.

·         May hire a writer to write the screenplay.

·         Signing up the director and important cast.

Pre-production:

·         What's needed on the board to prepare to shoot the film.

·         Key personnel

Production:

·         When it all begins

·         Make the schedule to line up the film.

Post-production:

·         Other experts are hired to supply the complete film.

·         Ex: editors, sound engineers, musicians, special effects, etc.

·         Hire a post house which is someone who does package deal arrangements.

I wanted to know more about film producers, so I turned to google for help. A film producer is someone who supervised the film production. They are either hired or work independently. When I heard that films must hire a screenwriter, I was so confused. I thought the film director did most of that stuff, but I guess I was wrong. A screenwriter is someone who writes out the screenplays to any film. I see a lot of Hollywood films and wanted to know...how much does the director pay for that kind of film. Hollywood films cost about $70-$90 million dollars, not bad.
