How is a film made?
A film is made starting with an idea.
Pre-production covers all the technical matters. You must make sure your idea is scripted to make a storyboard, a crew and cast are hired, a location is set and a schedule for shooting is planned.
Funding: The person with the idea must find someone to fund the film, so they can payback the funding money and make a profit from the film.
Production is the shooting of the film, where all loations are set and actors are ready to act out the scenes.
Post-production is editing the film to make it into a finished product. Music is added and the actors re-record their lines if they were not clear.
Marketing, distribution and exhibition, is the releasing of the film to it's audience. The films are usually released in a theatre or shown on tv. The film would be either shown for a long period of time or shown for a short period of time depending on how succesful the selling of the film is.
