Filmmaking

Prior to taking this digital filmmaking class, I didn’t know very much about filmmaking aside from the script-writing process of it. Also, I hadn’t really seen too many short films before this class, but I have genuinely developed an interest and even love for the short film genre. The short film is, in a lot of ways, like the short story or even the poem. It is able to tell so much in so little. One thing that I learned from this class maybe the most obvious, and that’s how important and essential

Making a film takes a very complex process. This is why films sometimes take months and even years to make. Filmmaking is always broken up into 5 steps.

Ideas for the film are created and the screenplay is written and edited. During this part of the process financing is planned out and looked at what can be afforded, what

Lights! Camera! Action! : Filmmaking in the 21st Century Movies are one of the most remarkable and prevalent art forms of the 21st century. While we as a society praise the actors and actresses that star in them, we tend to ignore the actions that occur behind-the-scenes, also known as the filmmaking process. Contrary to popular belief, this process doesn’t simply start with “lights, camera, action” and end with “scene”. It can take months, years, or even decades to get a movie made; never

opportunities to gain real filmmaking experience. In addition to making films, we get to meet real filmmakers outside of the classroom. There are frequently guest filmmakers that come and hold Q&A’s in the local Pollock Theater, sharing their knowledge and helping to build a smarter generation of filmmakers. In turn, these

Film and Video Production: Becoming the Future of the Silver Screen Every so often a movie is released with such tense anticipation and glamorous visual art that the public is drawn to this dramatic rendition of life in the theatre. For even just two hours or so, you are put into a different lifestyle. Action, drama or comedy it may be. We are thrust into a different way of thinking. We are forced to learn the characters thoughts and feelings. The hard work and artistic skill that goes into these

I once stumbled across an anonymous quote that said, “Never forget where you come from, but strive for a place you have never been.” As I contemplated the statement’s significance, I was struck by the realization that I cannot point to one place or time in my life to find where I’m from. In the last twenty years of my life, I have lived on both the east and west coast of the United States, and shifted between all sorts of communities across the socio-economic and cultural spectrum.

parties of different talents may have contradictory aspirations, the coordination of the team and resolution of conflicts are of utmost importance. To achieve these, the director, who is normally the highest authority in the creative side of the filmmaking hierarchy, supervises and coordinates the initial work of sub-directors and makes final decisions, which greatly influence the creative directions of these sub-directors. Division of sub-directors is varied in projects, but generally includes art

can do so little; together we can do so much.’ Although she meant it in a much larger sense, but I think it is also appropriate to describe my experience doing the film project. It is a brand-new experience for me, as I have never taken part in filmmaking before. From it, I learnt a lot from my group mates and also by practising the skills taught in class. Along the way, our group did not encounter serious difficulties. I believe the fact that we come from different discipline allows us to fit in
