Research

The pre-production phase of this project was spent in the Library, carrying out background reading on the subject of filming. Two books which were examined was 'how to read a film' (Monaco, J, 1977) and 'Digital Filmaking, The Changing Art and Craft of Making Motion Pictures' by Thomas A. Ohanian and Michael E. Phillips. Despite their tendancies to lean towards larger scale filming, its basic descriptions of the three major categories constructive. The main fundamentals which conclusively came from reading this was:


Preproduction:

The script is written,(including storyboard),
Planning schedules ,
the location

Production (shooting):

composition
angles
close ups/wide shot etc.

post-production:

editing,
mixing and looping (of the soundtrack, which Monaco points out, this can be easily repaired by overdubbing
possibily music scoring
special effects
saving/ formating to disc.
