Overview of Film Making
Filmmaking is the art of crafting an engaging and captivating visual narrative. It starts with selecting a compelling story and encompasses shooting, directing, scripting, editing, and finally presenting it to an audience. The ultimate aim of filmmaking is to capture viewers' attention and leave a lasting impact.
The process begins with imagination, ideas, and a script. Creative producers and screenwriters learn to analyze and write screenplays by understanding character, structure, and narrative story elements. From pre-production to production and finally post-production, filmmakers focus on filmmaking's creative and business aspects. They enhance their artistic proficiency and judgment while gaining a solid background in the entertainment industry.
