Task 1.

3. Production.
 1. Development
The start of a project varies, but generally will begin with
development of a script, be that an existing script, a
book, a brief story outline. Development may also start
with a Director and/or Writer pitching an idea to a
Producer.
 2. Pre-Production
This is the phase where you would narrow down the
options of the production. It is where all the planning
takes place before the camera rolls and sets the overall
vision of the project. Pre-production also includes
working out the shoot location and casting. The Producer
will now hire a Line Manager or Production Manager to
create the schedule and budget for the film.
Task 1.

4. Production.
 3. Production
During this phase it is key to keep planning ahead of the
daily shoot. The primary aim is to stick to the budget and
schedule, this requires constant vigilance. Communication is
key between location, set, office, production company,
distributors - in short, all parties involved
 4. Principal Photography
This is when the camera rolls. It is nearly always the most
expensive phase of film production, due to actor, director,
and set crew salaries, as well as the costs of certain shots,
props, and on-set special effects. Everything that has
happened up to this point is to make principal photography
go as smoothly and efficiently as possible. Communication
between all parties is crucial during the shoot and the
production must maintain a full set of records and strive to
remain on time and on budget.
Task 1.

5. Production.
 5. Wrap
The period immediately after shooting ends. It is when we strike (dismantle)
the set and clear the location. Everything must be returned in good order to
suppliers and there must be a full set of records of the shoot.
 6. Post-Production
This stage starts when principal photography ends, but they may overlap.
The bulk of post-production consists of reviewing the footage and assembling
the movie - editing. There will be contributions as required from Visual
Effects (VFX), Music and Sound Design. The picture will now be locked and
delivery elements will be created. Further information on Post Production
can be found later on in Week 1 of the course.
 7. Distribution
Once the film is completed, it must be distributed. This is how producers
make their money back and a considerable amount of time and energy will
be invested to secure the right distribution deals for their projects. The film
will go into the cinema and/or be distributed via various platforms such as
Amazon Prime, Netflix, and HBO etc.
Task 1.

6. Distribution.
 Distribution is the final stage of the production process
and a very anxious stage for the cast and production
crew because it’s the moment the film is released for
the world to see. Here, it’s the work of the producer to
secure distribution deals with cinemas and other
distribution platforms. It’s important to secure the
right deals because they will determine if the film will
have the right audience reach and make the right
amount of money to ensure a return on investment.
Task 1.

8. Rolesonset.
Producer.
 Producer is the most important figure in the production of a film
because he/she oversees and is in charge of the whole production. The
producer finds and selects promising material for development. Then,
unless the film is based on an existing script, the producer has to hire
a screenwriter and oversee the development of the script. Once a script
is completed, the producer will lead a pitch to secure the financial
backing (a "green light") to allow production to begin.
 For example, Christopher Nolan, British-American director and
producer, has directed 10 feature films and produced 7 of them. He has
been nominated for best director, best picture, best Original Screenplay,
top 10 films and many other categories by many of the world’s renowned
academies.
”The Dark Knight” (2008). Heath Ledger (“The Joker”)
was awarded with Golden Globe Award for Best
Supporting Actor – Motion Picture, and the BAFTA
Award for Best Actor in a Supporting Role.
Task 2.

9. Rolesonset.
Director.
 A film director is a person who directs the making of a film. A film
director controls a film's artistic and dramatic aspects and
visualizes the screenplay (or script) while guiding the technical crew
and actors in the fulfilment of that vision. The director has a key
role in choosing the cast members, production design, and the
creative aspects of filmmaking. Under European Union law, the
director is viewed as the author of the film.
 For example, Christopher Nolan, American-British producer and
director who has directed 10 feature films. Overall, his films have
grossed over US$4.7 billion worldwide and garnered a total of
34 Oscar nominations and ten wins.

10. Rolesonset.
Director of
Photography.
 A cinematographer or director of photography (sometimes
shortened to DP or DOP) is the chief over the camera and
light crews working on a film, television production or other
live action piece and is responsible for making artistic and
technical decisions related to the image. The study and
practice of this field is referred to as cinematography.
 For example, Roger Alexander Deakins is an
English cinematographer best known for his work on the
films of the Coen brothers, Sam Mendes, and Denis
Villeneuve.
Task 2

11. Rolesonset.
SetDesignerand
ContinuitySupervisor.
 A script supervisor (also called continuity supervisor) is a member of
a film crew who oversees the continuity of the motion picture including
wardrobe, props, set dressing, hair, makeup and the actions of the
actors during a scene. The notes recorded by the script supervisor
during the shooting of a scene are used to help the editor cut the scene.
They are also responsible for keeping track of the film production unit's
daily progress. The script supervisor credit typically appears in
the closing credits of a motion picture and is listed on IMDb under
miscellaneous crew.
 For example, Doris Grau was an American script supervisor who began
her career with supervising film and television scripts. She continued to
do this until the 1990s and worked on films such as Point
Blank and King Kong and television shows such as Cheers and The
Tracey Ullman Show.

12. Rolesonset.
Editor.
 On its most fundamental level, film editing is the art, technique and practice
of assembling shots into a coherent sequence. The job of an editor is not simply
to mechanically put pieces of a film together, cut off film slates or edit dialogue
scenes. A film editor must creatively work with the layers of images, story,
dialogue, music, pacing, as well as the actors' performances to effectively "re-
imagine" and even rewrite the film to craft a cohesive whole.
 For example, Quentin Tarantino is an American director, writer, actor and film
editor whose films are characterized by nonlinear storylines; satirical subject
matter; an aestheticization of violence; extended scenes of dialogue; ensemble
casts consisting of established and lesser-known performers; references
to popular culture and a wide variety of other films; and features of neo-
noirfilm. He has received many industry awards, including two Academy
Awards, two Golden Globe Awards, two BAFTA Awards and the Palme d'Or,
and has been nominated for an Emmy and a Grammy.
