FIVE STAGES OF FILM PRODUCTION AND HOW WE HAVE TACKLED THEM

DEVELOPMENT- The script is written and drafted into a workable blueprint for a film.

Development for our film- We have not yet written a solid script however we are only creating a teaser trailer and we plan on including a non-diegetic voice over which will commentate our trailer.

PRE-PRODUCTION- preparations are made for the shoot, in which cast and crew are hired, locations are selceted and sets are built.

Pre-production for our film- We have assigned people including ourselves to play certain characters in the film and we have also pin pointed all our locations as you can see on the location shot post. We have recruited friends and family to play small roles in our trailer. We have split our trialer up into several locations and we have also shot our opening scene which also allowed us to create our film poster.

PRODUCTION- The raw elements for the finished film are recorded.
Production for our film- we have not yet tackled the production stage as we wish to leave this to a later stage.

POST-PRODUCTION- the film is edited; production sound (dialogue) is concurrently (but seperately) edited, music tracks (and songs) are composed, performed and recorded, if a film is sought to have a score; sound effects are designed and recorded; and any other computer-graphic 'visual' effects are digitally added, all sound elements are mixed then married to picture and the film is fully completed.

Post-production for our film- because we are only producing a teaser trailer alot of this does not apply to us. We may include sound effects such as gun shots but little sound effects will be included. We will create or allocate music to our trailer however we wish to do this towards the end because we are currently focusing on shooting the film as well as creating a poster and magazine cover. Although most of the dialogue will be a voice-over, we may include small amounts of speech and this will be recorded as we shoot the scenes.

SALES AND DISTRIBUTION- The film is screened for potential buyers, is picked up by a distributor and reaces its cinema and/or home audience.

Sales and distribution for our film- once again we do not need to focus on sales and distribution that much because the main objective is the CREATION of an effective teaser trailer. Although we would maybe target smaller british cinemas rather than bigger screens like a hollywood movie. Our film includes low bugdet actors and is also linked in with the social-realism genre which makes it a perfect small british film.
