Here also film screening for best film including short and feature films. I’m Lucky that my flim Bajabaa – The Daughter also screened there and lots of people enjoyed in presence of bollywood guests. Today we talk for how the actual film made? Whats the actual process? How many people can associated with single film. How can decide the budget for film. Let’s start the actual talk. First of all Any Film including short film, feature film or any other type film there are life cycle of film making which contain some steps for film making process. Basically these complete process contain 4 steps. These 4 steps can divided further into many other steps which can be based on situation and types. The major 4 steps are :
(1) Development/ Pre-Production
(2) Production
(3) Post-Production
(4) Distribution
All these 4 steps has major role in any film making process. Any of these step not fulfil properly than film is not satisfactory for their core team.
The first step is Development and Pre-Production. In this process main module of film can be select. It means producer or director can find a story. Work on that story in proper manner. Find a message or suspense from that story it moves to story and screenplay writing steps. Here a normal story can be turn into film in paper way. Identify the characters and other role for that script. Based on script director and producer find a location where can they shoot. Decide the budget of the film. Once the budget get decide they move further. They try to get some lyrical for their film which can be rock in audience mind based on film story. They ask to writer for song writing and once they find they found a music director for that song. Once all these done they decide the star cast for film. If already a lead star cast they start other casting as a Pre-Production else they can arrange audition and find a required star cast for film. Once the star cast decided they can find other team for production manager , sound designer ,DOP, cinematographer , Location manager ,Make up man , Costume designer and all other character without a film can be ready but all that character are silent hero or back stage team. Once this complete process has been done they plan a proper date for start shoot and muhurt of the film.
The second step is Production. Here actual film can start. As per decided pre – production all get their own role. They work accordingly their role. A typical day shooting begins with the crew arriving on the set/location by their call time. Actors usually have their own separate call times. Since set construction, dressing and lighting can take many hours or even days, they are often set up in advance. the crew prepares their equipment, the actors do their costumes and attend the hair and make-up departments. Actors can rehearsal their script with director or assistant director. Assistant director can track every retake and single shot for respectively with their notes for easier in editing and dubbing time. Director can notice to light, camera, and action accordingly light men, cinematographer and artists for continue their jobs.
Once the 50-70 % production or film had done the recording start. In some case it can be simultaneously or some time it after the production. It may be vary. It depends on budget and requirement.
Once the complete Production has been done the post production work start. These can be include film editing and coloring. Here complete film is assembled by the film editor. The production sound is edit some time some scene will be deleted from the shoot. Arrange the sequence for film . visual graphics can be added. Once the complete thing done director and producer can view complete film if any changes it work on that else it can be locked for sensor and distribution. They work on teaser and trailer part once done.
Once the all other steps done major step is distribution. First They start to promote film via their team and other crew members. Mean while they can send film to sensor .It takes 15-20 days and if sensor cut any scene it rework and send again to sensor certificate. Once they get certificate producer & Director ready the promotion and marketing team for their film. Film distributor and release partners for the film. Once the all set they can promote film in proper way and full force. Before few days back release they launch trailer and music and promote to audience for their film. On the one day or same day on release they arrange premier. Here only film industry staff and media staff can be invited. They watch the film and reacted. At the last all depends on audience how they review the film , What more like from the film. So its complete process of any film. I hope you all get some basic knowledge of film making process.
