How to make up a film?
The making up a film is a difficult and responsible matter that requires the special approach, however, a good movie or video clip may bring much use and pleasure. First of all, it’s necessary to define, what would you like to do, what for and for whom, as films can be different: documentaries, feature, advertising, films-presentations, studying etc. It’s naturally that requirements to each of them are different. So, you produce the idea of a film or its plot. But it can be that you can’t arrange the idea of the film and particularly state its plot. In this case the specialists of our company will help you and advise you several interesting variants according to your needs, demands and wishes. When the idea and the plot of the film are clear, it’s necessary to work out the script of the film. As a rule, this stage is charged with the professionals, but it doesn’t mean that you can’t write it by yourself or you won’t take part in this process. When the script is finished, you can come up to the video filming, or (if the movie requires that) deal in searching of the actors, models, characters. The film shooting is the most difficult and the most responsible of its creation. Great deal depends on the management of the filming process. To begin with the time of the opening of the necessary apartments and finishing with the correspondence of the script to the real action on the shooting area. For you to understand our idea and avoid possible mistakes, that prevent you from the creation of the defective movie, we’ll put several examples:
- The customer invited you for filming didn’t warn you about lack of the power supply in the apartments. As the result, the film crew didn’t have the autonomous power supply, and the film crew had to reserve their work for the next day.
- The customer invited for the shooting a great number of people and it was impossible to hold their behavior under control. The filming process was disturbed.
- While preparing for the filming one apartment was shown to the filming group, but the filming crew had to work in another. The device, which was brought on the shooting area didn’t correspond to the requirements of the high-quality work.
- The customer began the arrangement earlier, than it was planned, just on the arriving of the film group, without giving the specialists the opportunity to prepare the devices and to set the light, and as the result the material wasn’t filmed from the beginning.
- Initially the film was thought of as the advertising, but after the filming the customer wanted to get the documentary from it. Naturally, it’s almost impossible to do as the documentary is the film of other contents.
So, the quality of the filming and the value of the material depends much on the coordination of actions of the people, who are responsible for it and from the clearness of the task. After the filming the material goes to the processing, and than the film is cut. It’s done by the specialists by the company, but your participation is necessary in such questions as the preparing of the text for titles, the affirmation of the musical accompaniment, the announcer’s text and etc. The ending of this work is the outlet of the technical copy. It’s necessary for you to see the result and to correct (if it’s required). When the technical copy is affirmed, the film is outlet in its final variant, on any carrier, the necessary number of copies.
What do you need for creating a good film?
The opinion exists that the higher is the budget of the film the better it is. But, as a matter of fact, it doesn’t coincide with the reality. The history of the world cinema has lots of examples, when low-budget films became the cult ones, opposite the films with the giant budgets amazed the spectator with their wastefulness and were consigned to oblivion, before going into the distribution. What do you need for creating a good film? First of all, you need well-coordinated body of the professionals of the high level, where everybody understands a hint, discharges his or her obligations neatly and foresees the results of their work from the very beginning. The movie can’t be good and of high-quality, if the creative body will act as in the fable of I. A. Krylov about the swan, crayfish and pike. Then, it is necessary to contact close with the customer for people, making the film clearly imagine to themselves the aim of the film, the audience of the film and the thing that the customer wants to create. Thirdly, for the modern film it is necessary to have the up-to-date apparatus. It will provide the high quality of the filming, extend the technical and artistic opportunities of its creators, will let save the movie for long (almost unlimited) period. And only in the forth place we can stage the financial guaranteeing of the project, that will broaden the opportunities for creation and will help to reach the aims. Due to the long ago aroused tradition to everything, mentioned above one rather important aspect is added: we tend to the pleasant cooperation and intercourse.
