Film production

Writer-Screen writers create the screenplay for the film, the

screenplay is basically the blueprint of the film then the director and
producers will add their own stamp to make it into the film. The
screen play has to include the story line and basic scenes and characters so that the
director can either add to it or take things away from it to make it into the film they imagine
whilst reading the screenplay. The writer will usually make a basic script with the story line
and characters and then have help from a screenwriter team to help
them finish the full script and have a finished product.
Producer-Producers have overall control on a films production.
Producers are mainly responsible for creating an environment where the
actors and director are able to do their best. They are also responsible
for the success of the finished film. Producers will also choose the
screenwriter and the story editing team, this is crucial as the editing makes the film, this
can be seen with the new fantastic four as the editing ruined the movie. Before they start
making the film they get key members of the creative screen like the director and
cinematographer together to raise money for the film.
Casting director-They are responsible for matching the ideal actor to each role, based on a
number of factors, such as the actor's experience, ability, reputation, availability and box
office appeal. Casting Directors also work closely with Production Accountants to prepare
the casting budget. They organise and conduct interviews and auditions for each

part, and are also in charge of offering each actor an appropriate fee to appear in
the film. They also draw up and negotiate the terms and conditions of contracts with
agents.
Director-Directors are responsible for creatively translating the film's written script
into actual images and sounds on the screen. They are ultimately responsible for a
film's artistic and commercial success or failure. Directors may write the film's script
or commission it to be written, or they may be hired after an early draft of the script
is complete. During pre-production, Directors make crucial decisions, such as
selecting the right cast, crew and locations for the film. They then direct rehearsals
and the performances of the actors once the film is in production.

Film finance-An aspect of film production that occurs during the

development stage prior to pre-production, and is concerned with
determining the potential value of a proposed film. In the United
States, the value is typically based on a forecast of revenues
(generally 10 years for films and 20 years for television shows),
beginning with theatrical release, and including DVD sales, and
release to cable broadcast television networks both domestic and international and
inflight airline licensing.
Camera operator-They are usually the first people to use the camera's eyepiece to
assess how all the elements of performance, art direction, lighting, composition and
camera movement come together to create the cinematic experience. Camera
Operators usually start at the end of pre-production with other Heads of
Department. They work closely with the Director of Photography.
Film editor- Film editing is part of the creative post-production process of
filmmaking.The film editor works with the raw footage, selecting shots and
combining them into sequences to create a finished motion picture. Film editing is
described as an art or skill, the only art that is unique to cinema, separating
filmmaking from other art forms that preceded it, although there are close parallels
to the editing process in other art forms like poetry or novel writing.
Production designer- Production designers are responsible for the visual concept of
a film, television or theatre production. They identify a design style for sets,
locations, graphics, props, lighting, camera angles and costumes, while working
closely with the director and producer. Working directly with the director and
producer, they must select the settings and style to visually tell the story.
Marketing- Marketing is the practice of promotion specifically in the film industry,
and usually occurs in coordination with the process of film distribution. Sometimes
called the press junket or film junket, film promotion generally includes press
releases, advertising campaigns, merchandising and media, and interviews with the
key people involved with the making of the film, like actors and directors.[1] As with
all business it is an important part of any release because of the inherent high
financial risk.

Exhibition- Cinema exhibition is still the primary channel for films to reach their
audiences and box office success equals financial success. Cinemas are the
biggest and most important market for a film. Because success at the box office
guarantee a high amount of revenues, from DVDs to broadcast and more.
