Making dreams to films
Counterfactual thinking is a concept in psychology that involves the human tendency to create possible alternatives to life events that have already occurred; something that is contrary to what actually happened. This is what filmaking is all about- Playing with the alternatives of "What if..."
Every film starts with a dream, with a thought, with a word, with a song, with a book, with a paper, or a blinking cursor on a screen. Every film starts with a beginning...
THE SCRIPT
After several rewritten scripts, the script is finally done and copyrighted ©, The hard job starts. How do we make all those words stuck in a paper come to life? We need to assemble a team- experts in their crafts. Have you seen how long the credits are? Well, you get the idea.
PRE-PRODUCTION begins...
After, Pre-Production, the intense labor, and excitement begin. Especially when you don't want to go over budget because you simply can not. This is where PRODUCTION begins
" Filmmaking is all about appreciating the talents of the people you surround yourself with and knowing you could never have made any of these films by yourself" - Mr. Steven Spielberg
After all the work during writing, pre-production, and production, the long and longer hours of POST PRODUCTION begin. In the eye of the director, it is his/her best film yet.
Now is up to the audience to decide if THE FILM is worth watching or not.
