UNDERSTANDING MOVIES PRODUCTION
Apart from food ,clothing and shelter one compelling need man has , is the desire to communicate. The birth of film offered us a great platform to express ideas ,while the development of television /video provided a louder voice .video is a potent tool of communication .it can be used to instruct , entertain, inform and propagate.
If you wish to create a programme either a music promo ,product commercial, a religious show .school drama, educational/social documentary ,feature film, docu drama etc.
It is necessary to understand the process involved in video production. Video production can be divided into three basic stages
1.the pre production 2.production 3. post production
PRE PRODUCTION-Phase is when you make all the arrangements required for a successful recording it involves:
1.scripting 2.budgeting 3.selecting your crew 4.preparing production equipment 5.arranging location 6.costume rehearsals 7.scheduling recording 8.production management. Your first move may be to write the script or define precisely what your production is going to be.
Based on that you work out a budget . You may need to re – work the script to balance with funds available ( cutting your coat according to your cloth).in the alternative you raise more cash to meet script requirement .
At pre production you decide on your technical crew and arrange to get equipment. A director is the artistic head of a production .he interpretes the written script on screen . the director should be keenly involved in the preparation.
At pre- production strategies are devised for a succeful recording ,1. casting ,rehearsals.2.securing locations 3.costuming4.shoot scheduling and other logistics are dililgently workout. Where there is a full production team , there will be people responsible for some of this activity . in some cases one person may combine duties.
PRODUCTION After all the planning and rehearsals the next step is to record . you move to location and shoot. One of the key advantages of video , is the ability to review footage immediately .if you are not satisfied with what you have recorded do it again. Sometimes things may not go according to plan . you may experince technical difficulties or a cast member may fall ill distupting schedules.
Even traffic problems may rob you of valuable production time. It is important to understand this and have secondary plan of action.
POST PRODUCTION THIS is the third phase in shooting , we sometimes record more than we need ,we may film in a sequence that is staccato yet convenient . Editing offers the opportunity to cut pictures and arrange them in the appropriate order ,in postproduction you add:
1.text 2.graphics 3.narration 4.music 5.sound 6.visual effects if necessary ;it is a creative process .a good edit can lift up your work a bad one will ruin it.
CONCLUSION
Video production is an exciting activity .it gives you the power to communicate , but it also calls for proper planning. Pre production is a critical phase and can determine whether your shots will hit target or go off. Production is no less important, after all if you do not record all your preparation will be in vain post production is like knitting bringing all the strands together, tying the loose ends so you can have a beautiful fabric or programme at the end of the day
