  1. Preparation, Shooting and Assembly

  2. Preparation: Pre-Production • Funding is more or less secure and script is solid enough for production, filmmakers can prepare for physical production , this is called pre-production • Director coordinates the staff to create the film. He/she is most responsible for final look and sound of the film. • Producer and Director hire crew, cast roles and scout locations for filming • Prepare daily schedule, all the while keeping an eye on the budget • Producer assumes shots will be shot out of continuity –they want to shoot scenes that are at same location cuzit saves money from having to transport equipment

  3. Pre-Production • Several things are happening at same time under supervision of producer and director -ex: writer revises, casting director looks for actors • In large scale productions, there is a major division of labor. Director works closely with heads of each department. • Production designer- in charge of visualizing the film’s settings. Unit creates drawings and plans that determine architecture and color of the film. • Other roles- art director, set dresser, set decorator, costume designer.

  4. Pre Production • Graphic artists creates a storyboard- a series of comic strip-like sketches of the shots in each scene, including notations about costume lighting and camerawork -not every scene is storyboarded, but action sequences and shots using special effects or complicated camera work tend to be storyboarded in detail - cinematographers will know how things should look in the end -previsualization- reworks the storyboards into 3-demensional animation, complete with moving figures, dialogue, sound effects, and music

  5. Casino Royale (2006) Storyboards

  6. The Shooting Phase: Principal Photography • The the director’s crew: script supervisior, 1st Asst. Director (AD), 2nd AD, 3rd AD, dialogue coach, 2nd Unit director • Script supervisor: in charge of all continuity from shot to shot. It all has to make sense (lighting, props, movement, etc.) • 1st A.D.: plans each shooting day with director. Sets up each shot for director’s approval, while keeping track of actors, monitoring safety, etc. • 2nd A.D.: liason between 1st A.D., camera crew and electricians crew • 3rd AD: messenger for director and staff • Dialogue coach: feeds performers lines and speaks lines of offscreen characters during shots of other performers • 2nd Unit Director: films stunts, location footage, action scenes, at a distance where principal shooting is taking place

  7. Shooting Phase: Principal Photography • Most visibile is cast and supporting players, minor players, and extras • One major job of director is to shape performances of the cast-explain how dialogue should be delivered and gestures rendered • Photography unit: lead by cinematographer or Director of Photography (DP) • he/she is an expert on photographic process, lighting and camera techniques. -supervises the following: camera operator, key grip (equipment, props, and lighting), and gaffer (head electrician and light rigging)

  8. Shooting Phase: Principal Photography • Sound Unit: headed by production recordist (sound mixer) • main job is to record dialogue; also captures ambient sounds • Boom operator: arranges boom mic, and conceals radio micorphones on actors • Third man: places other microphones, lays sound cables • Other units: visual effects, makeup, costuming, drivers, production accountants

  9. Shooting Phase: Principal Photography • Director does many shots or takes • In order to keep track of all the shots, use a slate: which is written production, scene, shot and take • Crews set up lighting and test sound, director rehersesactors and directs cinematographer. • Master shot: records entire action and dialogue of the scene • Then coverage is shot. Scene is restaged and shot in closer views or in different angles. Could use multiple cameras.

  10. Assembly Phase: Post-Production • Post-production: work behind the scenes throughout shooting • Editor: catalogues and assembles the takes. Works with the director to decide how the footage can be best put together • Footage accumulates=rough cuts, without sound effects or music. AppocalypseNow lasted 7 ½ hours!!! • Added later are CGI, sounds and music, etec. • Work of production does not end when film is released. (different versions)
