PREPARE OUR FILM PRODUCTION!

If we had a plan making a film, we need to prepare some research and plan as well.
Script
The script is the single most important component in our film. It is the foundation on which everything is built; financing, acting, locations, design, cinematic style, audience, identification and everything.
Moreover, the contract should contain a literary purchase agreement to go into effect when your movie begins production. This usually includes such elements as; right the title, plot, theme, and characters. In addition, a permission can use the property in various mediums like a film, TV, video, etc.
Often, with independent films, the director and (or) producer will also be the screenwriter. It will be our written story that we translate into pictures (photos) and spoken words.

Idea

When it comes to marketing films, the idea is paramount.
What makes your idea different from the standard Hollywood movie concepts?
What will make your future film stand apart from last tears independent releases?

If i said to define easily, stories should say something, a message, in the form of a theme our film should be contained in our screenplay.

Structure
Our scripts should have three underlying sections, called acts, a beginning (approximately the first thirty pages), a middle (the next fifty-five or more pages) and an end (the final fifteen to twenty-five pages).

According to Merritt (1998, p.8), the truth is that every screenplay needs a beginning, a middle and an end, but there are more crucial components than having plot point fall on a specific page.

Branching off from the main plot are sub spots. By highlighting emotional elements in our movies, they can be even more compelling than the main plot.

Conflict, is the essence of all dramatic writing-it is what really makes a script work. Conflict begets tension and it is what drives our movie forward.

The most crucial thing for the writer and director to have is an overall vision of the story and film cohesion comes about when we have such a vision. Methods for adding to script cohesions include recurring motifs (i.e. repeating, images, rhythms, and sounds).
Foreshadowing and payoff refer to a visual clue or spoken line that returns later.

Character
We must know our characters. Before we begin writing our scripts, we may want to create a personal history or list of traits for each main role. All significant characters should have something at shake and something they want. Knowing there will bring their motivation into focus.


Dialogue
Character traits and motivations are key factors in determining what a character says and how he says it. Another is the character’s emotional state.

Shooting script

As the director, you write the shooting script. In the shooting script, how each dialogue passage and action sequence will be covered is noted. Shots are numbered. I think that it is important that we work o the shooting script as soon as possible. Although it will undergo many changes, including during production, the shooting script is an important document for pre-production when it comes to elements such as scheduling, hiring the crew, establishing equipment needs and setting the budget.
