The Truth About Film Production Companies

By Sherry Gross


For years, people have sought of ways for them to be entertained. There was the printing of books for those who wanted to stimulate their minds. Songs were written for the melancholic as a form of expression. Television was made for those who wanted to see something different, and along them film production companies raleigh came into being.

A film is also called a movie. It also goes by the name motion picture. Whatever you may want to call it, the fact still remains that it is a series of still images which creates an illusion of moving pictures. The reel, or that certain roll of film that contains such, is fed into a machine that projects the moving pictures to a big screen.

Variety is the spice of life, and it most certainly is in the film making industry. To provide for this needed variety, there now exists many different movie genres that cater to the varied interests of the public. Comedies and romance flicks still top the charts, as most of them can be viewed by the entire family. Horror induces fear, action projects adventure.

Films are often made as a form of self expression. It also reaches a wide reach of varied audiences, which make it the most appropriate avenue for instilling awareness to most of our social issues. It is a good way to narrate events that can be both educational and entertaining at the same time.

It is also quite a very profitable business. With the perfect story, the most suited casting and the most adept crew, a spectacular movie is made. Producers are the ones who fund the making of the film. Depending on the chosen genre, expenditures for production can reach millions of dollars, which will come back in full, plus more, with ticket sales and distribution earnings.

There are many stages of production before the said picture is to be released to the public. It starts with the development stage. This is where the brainstorming of ideas are made. If the picture is to be a novel adaptation, rights should be bought during this part. Once the initial storyboard and characterization has been approved, the screenplay will be written. The said script will then be presented to the one who is interested in making it a reality.

The pre production is where the location for the filming is chosen, the set is made, the crew hired, and the cast is determined. The selected actors and actresses are the given the script so they can study the character they need to portray. To make a film more interesting, producers often hire well known celebrities to participate in the said picture.

Production comes into being as the scenes are being shot one by one. The raw elements are recorded. It does not really follow the chronological flow of events, instead individual scenes are taken and pieced together in the post production where the shots are edited and visual effects are added along with sounds.

Finally, the reel is ready for public viewing. But, before the reels are taken to cinemas, they are marketed in all sorts of gimmicks. After its release in theaters, copies are made for home entertainment patrons.
