Four Steps to Filmmaking

While waiting for the Introduction to Cinematography lecture, I spoke to one of my class mates comparing notes on how we are coping with our assignments. Because I have made films and 2 community television programs, I am well aware of the task that awaits us and the need for commitment to complete our assignments.

To help filmmakers understand the four steps of filmmaking:

1. Pre-Production
2. Production
3. Post-Production
4. Marketing

I have started writing articles taking you through each step from pre-production through to marketing. It is hoped that you will realize the mammoth amount of work you need to do to be prepared and organized in making films.

I would also suggest you download Celtx which is a freely available pre-production software application that will help you:

• Write a screenplay
• Create a storyboard
• Break down your screenplay
• Create a shooting schedule

You can download Celtx from here.
