Film Production
Development
The creation, writing, organizing and planning stage of a project.
A preliminary budget is made, key casts are attached, key creatives are chosen, main locations are scouted and multiple script drafts may be written.
It’s all the groundwork to show what the project will be and how much it will cost to make.
Can take months or even years to get the project green-lit and move into pre-production.
The crew involved in the development stage is quite minimal, just a small group of creatives and executives crafting the story and associated budget.
Pre-Production
The planning stage.
Elements of video production such as the script, casting, location scouting, equipment and crew, and the shot list all happen during this stage.
Having a strong concept is essential, spending the appropriate amount of time before full-scale production begins is necessary to nail down the concept.
Production
The actual filming of the film, as known as the principal shoot
The production company brings the crew, equipment, talent (actors) and all necessary props out to the location and captures all the footage necessary.
Post-Production
During this stage, the footage is edited, the sound is mixed, visual effects are added, a soundtrack is composed, titles are created and the project is completed, and prepared for distribution.
Begins while the shoot is still going. This helps to identify problems with the footage or any gaps in the story while the shoot is still happening.
Distribution
The process of making a movie available for viewing by the audience.
The film may be exhibited directly to the public either through a movie theater or television, or streaming.
Week 7
Sound Shaping
Sound equalization is a process where the sound engineer increases (gains up) or decreases (gains down) signal levels of specific audio frequencies.
Frequency Range
Hertz (Hz) Human hearing: Frequency range from 20Hz to 20,000Hz.
7 subsets of frequencies are used to help define the Ranges.

Hertz (Hz) Human hearing: Frequency range from 20Hz to 20,000Hz.
7 subsets of frequencies are used to help define the Ranges.
Dynamic Range
Decibels (dB) The threshold of human hearing is measured as 0dB SPL (Sound Pressure Level) and the threshold of pain as 130dB SPL.

Space
Mono Recorded using a single audio channel
Stereo Recorded using two audio channels.

Week 8
Independent Learning Week.
Week 10
Digital Cinema
Plan Well
Visual effects shots need well and precise planning. The similar color tones stressed out AE’s rotobrush.
Recce for VFX shots is very important!
Editing Breakdown:
Recce for VFX shots is very important!
Editing Breakdown:
Import shots into AE.
Arrange the shots in COMPOSITION following the tutorial video.
Variations: Pre-compose FLICK and JUMPING shots in different compositions, hence the two shots both need masking.
JUMPING shot: Use only a few frames of the character floating in the air.
JUMPING composition: Try time stretching to decide the appropriate duration.
To match the size/shape with the BUMPING shot, apply the Puppet tool to JUMPING’s composition, and add keyframes size/position.
Add adjustment layer to match colour for all layers.
