Filmmaking industry

        Hi there. Today is our next assignment named "Filmmaking and script writing". So what is the filmmaking? It is simply the process of making a film. Sounds pretty simple but beyond every film product lays a work of many specialists who represent different branches of filmmaking industry. Among them are directors, producers, cinematographers, sound designers, managers, art directors... Of course there are many more who works on creating the final film product but we wan´t going to enumerate them. 
          Every film requires a scenario but to make it is not that easy. There are many criterias that film companies put for those who wants to jump into this industry. First of all you need to start with a basic idea of what are you going to show in the movie and what is it about. My best friend GOOGLE showed me some websites about filmmaking and I like this one that gives an idea of what is a good filmmaker --> Top 10 of A Great Filmmaker

The film production occurs in five main stages:
a) Development - writing a script
b) Pre-production - preparation for the shoot, crew is hired, places are chosen etc.
c) Production - recording of the film
d) Post-production - film is edited, music tracks are composed, titles and effects created etc.
e) Sales and distribution - basically the sale of the product.

Then I looked for more info considering filmmaking. Although Google offers many different links, it is still hard to find the right webpage which can give you a comprehensive answer of what you are looking for. I accidentally clicked on the link to BBC page where I subsequently found a good info about my main topic.
Here is the link --> BBC Filmmaking Guide. There I found everything about filmmaking from A to Z so everyone who is interested in being a successful filmmaker welcome here :) 

The good idea and a strong script are the basis of a great shot. There are no certain rules about scriptwriting but it clearly has to appear who is the main character, the atmosphere, logical endings of the scenes etc. This link here Writing a Script can direct you on the right way and gives you some rough idea of scriptwriting. The topic can be whatever you want it to be, from the grasshoppers to the aliens' invasion of the barber shop on 3rd avenue near McDonalds)). 

Here is one more link to inspire you --> How to Write a Screenplay 


Everyone can create, but the recognition of the work depends from its content and professionalism. Do not make it to stop you if you have an idea of movie making and perhaps one day the fortune will smile to you :)))
