Steps You Need to Take If You Want to Make A Film

By

Film is one of frontrunners for entertainment in society today. Television itself has only been around since 1925. If you think about that, it’s been less than a hundred years and the world has completely been transformed by a little box that is able to broadcast information to the world in an instant. It’s really a marvelous invention.

For anybody who wants to be a filmmaker today, it’s not an easy line of work to be in, but it’s a line of work that can have major payoff if you’re able to secure the funds and make the money back once the film has been released. Making the money back is much harder than you would think. Many independent films will only make back a fraction of what it cost them to put together the film. If you’re undaunted by this statistic, you might have the savvy it takes to make it in this world. Here are some other steps you need to take if you want to make a film:

Develop A Vision

To carry any project through, it’s crucial that a vision is developed so that there can be a cohesive end product. A vision also helps things to stay on track and helps with the financials and other logistics of a project. If you don’t know what you want to make, it sets you up for an uninspired, challenging time.

Take your time looking for a project journey that is one that you want to embark on. Once you’ve grasped onto something that you believe needs to be made into a film, develop that into a fully fledged, operable vision by looking at this.

Establish Backers

Developing a vision is often the easy part. Once you know what you’re doing and you believe that it’s worth doing, you then have to go on to convince others of that. These people are often people who have no interest in why you’re working on the project, they’re just investors who have made their money by investing in things that they’re sure they’re going to make a return on. You’re going to have to establish backers by convincing them that your film will succeed. If it’s not about the money, you might have a hard time, but it doesn’t mean your art isn’t worth making anyway.

Cast the Talent

Casting talent can either be one of the last steps in making a film, or it can be one of the first. If you’re looking for star power and they’re the name selling the show, they will be the first thing you secure before all else, if you’re just making a film for the sake of a film, you’ll want to have a team established so that you can then go on and find the talent that is going to make your film come to life.

Films that Best Portray the Reality of Poverty

By

Americans are used to being told that they’re rich, and they are, but the reality of the matter is one that is hard to come to terms with considering the quality of life so many Americans are used to and the impending cost of living that continues to rise and is causing so many to be subject to poverty.

Poverty seems to be a bit subjective. When you compare an American in poverty to a person living on a mat in the third world, it’s easy to see how much the worlds differ and how much the American actually has by comparison. While the contrast certainly puts things into perspective, it’s best to realize that every situation is different and while one level of poverty may be less extreme, both are difficult situations to face.

Films that Show How Drugs Have Affected Famous Entertainers

Addiction is not a concept that is not new to playwrights, screenwriters, novelists, and songwriters alike. The circumstances surrounding addiction often provide the perfect arch for a story line. There is a tragic hero, in this case the person who really is a good person at heart, but just can’t overcome their fatal flaw-that being addiction. There are characters who provide the antithesis of what the protagonists needs to create tension and drama that leads to the climax of the plot.

There is always a problem, a struggle resolving the problem, and either a sad or happy ending. Unfortunately for most addiction based stories, the ending is not one that makes you cry tears of joy. Addiction is undoubtedly sad-but it sure does create a good movie. [Read more…]
