The film making process

As a class we were asked to explain what we think the the film making process is in order.

This was my response :

1) The idea of the film/ concept of the film

2) development of the idea with producers, script writers etc

3) Pre- Production e.g. Casting and screen test with actors

4) Production of the film - this will take a series of weeks/months to film

5) Post-Production- Editing every shot taken form production making sure that the narrative flows and is easy to understand. cutting scene that are unnecessary or too long.

6) Marketing- Public campaigns e.g. posters, teaser trailers, interviews with cast, magazine/newspaper  articles, press interviews.

7) Release- often a premier of  film on red carpet. Also a chance for fans to meet cast and for interviewers to ask questions.

This would take a long time, maybe even years for the idea of the film to be imagined to actually filming it.
