Movie production

Production

Film production or movie production is a sequence of steps and movements by a contingent of personnel, each of whom has specific tasks. Typically each person's name is listed in the "credits" trailer at the end of the film.

Each of these tasks is filled with a person who has years of experience, schooling, and membership in a guild of their profession.

• Film producer creates the conditions for making films or movies. The producer initiates, coordinates, supervises, and controls matters such as raising funding, hiring key personnel, and arranging for distributors. The producer is involved throughout all phases of the filmmaking process from development to completion of a project.

• Film director is a person who directs the making of a film. Generally, a film director controls a film's artistic and dramatic aspects and visualizes the script while guiding the technical crew and actors in the fulfillment of that vision. It is the director's sense of drama, along with the creative visualization of the script, that transforms a screenplay into a well-made motion picture.

• Choreographer is the person who puts together the dance numbers to be presented on film.

• Screenwriters, scenarists or script writers, are authors who write the screenplays from which movies and television programs are made. Many of them also work as "script doctors," attempting to change scripts to suit directors or studios; for instance, studio management may have a complaint that the motivations of the characters are unclear or that the dialogue is weak.

• Cameraman or Camera Operator is the person who takes orders from the Director

• Movie Star is a celebrity who is well known for his or her starring, or leading, roles in motion pictures.

• Supporting actors and actresses are the people who help develop personalities and plots for the people starring in a movie.

• Movie Extras are the people in the movie crowd or group shots, and usually have non-speaking parts.

• Gaffers are the people who establish and control the lighting for a movie.

• Film Crew are the support people who produce props, provide makeup, scenery, wardrobe, transportation and visual effects.

• Foley Operator produces the non-speaking sound effects for the movie

• Film distributor A person or company responsible for negotiating which theaters where the film will be shown and making copies of the film
