To Blogspot...
by Gen.....
For some reason I have lately been having to enter word verification for every post "or change of a post" I make. It makes it increasingly annoying to handle my blog because some features are not working. This is not a spam blog.

People of Film
by Gen
When you watch a movie, do you know what happens behind the scenes? Do you know what does a producer do? What is a screenplay? Ill take you through all the different people who are essential to film.
Firstly, lets start with a director. A director oversees all aspect of a film, from start to finish. Directors can be recognized by their special trademark lighting or mood, and the overall look of their film. When a director reads a script, he/she developes a vision of how it should interpret into the screen; from lighting, mood, and camera angle, a director chooses it all. Athough a director is responsible for the vision behind the film, a good director also listens to his crew and cast and works collaboratively.
A producer creates the condition for making movies. The producer initiates, coordinates, supervises, and controls matters such as raising funding, hiring key personnel, and arranging for distributors. The producer is involved thoughout all phases of the filmmaking process from development to completion of a project.
An actor is a person who plays a role for a dramatic production. Actors usually work in movies, plays, radio, and tv. Actors usually play a fictional character, but in the event of a true story, they play a real person. Sometimes actors even play themselves!
A cinematographer is a camera operator. As the director visualizes the script, it is the cinematographer's job to film it.
A screenplay or script is a blueprint for making a motion picture. It can be adapted from a previous work like a novel, play, short story, or it may be an original work itself!
