With this short but very interesting and informative course, I have just scratched the surface of what it takes to make a fully-fledged film. It takes a lot more than I imagined to make a film in Hollywood. The number of people it takes to make one minute of a film, let alone the entire film, amazed me. It takes a lot to start making a film, but without some sort of idea, there is no film to be made. A team includes a screenwriter, whose job is to provide the written version of the film in its entirety. This is essentially the starting point of any film. Then there is the producer. There are many types of producers; executive producers, co-producers, assistant producers and line producers. They all do very different things. Some producers are responsible for raising money for the film, while others are responsible for the production that takes place during the filming of the film, and still others are responsible for what physically happens on set. Next comes director’s time. The director is in charge of the actors. The director works with the actors to visually bring to life what is written in the script (Fortunato, Who Does What on a Film). Now the idea has to come together. The idea of ​​writing "what you know" is not always true and writing "what you know" is actually a more accurate way of writing. Other good ways to formulate ideas are to use plays, novels, short stories, life stories, new articles, or even past TV shows and movies. When using an existing work, a person must ensure that they secure copyright before beginning to write. Securing copyright doesn't mean it's over. Now a person needs... middle of paper ......this at the end of the movie. Throughout this time, there is a tension that only releases in the final battle and where we discover who is going to have the cube, the decepticons or the auto-bots (Valenti, 107).
