Filmmaking (often referred to in an academic context as film production) is the process of making a film, from an initial story, idea, or commission, through scriptwriting, casting, shooting, editing, and screening the finished product before an audience that may result in a theatrical release or television program. Filmmaking takes place all over the planet in a huge range of economic, social, and political contexts, and using a variety of technologies and cinematic techniques. Typically, it involves a large number of people, and takes from a few months to several years to complete, although it may take longer if there are production issues, and the record for the longest production time for a major film is The Thief and the Cobbler's 28 years development.
Film production occurs in three stages:
In this stage, the project's producer finds a story, which may come from a book, play, another film, a true story, original idea, etc. After identifying a theme or underlying message, the producer works with writers to prepare a synopsis. Next they produce a step outline, which breaks the story down into one-paragraph scenes that concentrate on dramatic structure. Then, they prepare a treatment, a 25-to-30-page description of the story, its mood, and characters. This usually has little dialogue and stage direction, but often contains drawings that help visualize key points. Another way is to produce a scriptment once a synopsis is produced.
i had that same dream again, you know the one
you were my co-star
As we ask ourselves, how could we go wrong?
Morning came with cold feet again
As we flail and grasp to hold on to last night
As we brace ourselves we know we're slowly sinking
Just when i fear my sights are too high
You offer up that pretty smile
Speak gently, Move softer still
We wait on winter to break this fall
Dont speak she said
this is our little secret
And i wont breath a word
Morning came with cold feet again
As we work in ways that try to impress
Like these lines we steal from less than perfect movies
Silence paints a perfect picture
There are no words for this
Breath gently, move softer still
You are the still point in my turning world
Dont speak she said
this is our little secret
(there are no words for this)
just drive she said
this car cant take me away from here fast enough tonight
