Challenges in film making

Creating a film is more difficult than it seems. There are many aspects that need to be thought about both behind and in front of the camera. From my own experience of making film, these are example of what needed extra thought...

For example the people behind the camera need to think about;

• The 180 degree rule - this is where the camera must stay on the one side of the imaginery 180 degree   line, so that the audience does not get confused on the where abouts of the actors.
• Camera angles and shots - A variety of camera shots need to be used in order to keep the audience interested. Also different angles can be used to create not only entertainment but also a certain atmosphere. 
• Entertaining script - The script needs to be entertaining in order to keep the audience captivated, and interesting
• The right actors - The film needs to have the right actors to the play the right roles. This then makes the film more believale to the audience.
• The correct Setting - The location of the filming needs to be relevant to that of the script. also the lighting of the location is essential to creating the image
• Sound - Unless a microphone is used, then the camera and actors need to be in a place where there voices and actions can be heard effectively.

For people in front of the camera, they need to think about;

• Correct positioning - The actors must make sure they are positioned in front correctly so that they are not blocking others, and also fo the scene to look effective.
• Acting effectively - The actors need to be believable in what they are doing in order to make the film more believable and entertaining

In order to create a film there needs to be a lot of preperation made, however the time frame depends on the size of the project. the following needs to be prepared

• Location - The location of the scene can be either real or fake. also when filming in outside locations the weather needs to be checked before hand
• Actors
• Script
• Camera shots and angles (can be done using a storyboard) 
• Positioning of actors (done in rehearsal)
• The lighting
• Costume
