In modern times media has made film to be seen as a glamorous profession, and often the layman sees filmmakers and actors as people who make a lot of Money, in a very easy manner. This could not be farther from the true; In fact the realization of a single scene that will last from seconds to a few minutes on the screen, can take between 12 hours to several days of the hard work of a large team of individuals. Each of these individuals from the head producer down to the last of the extras are all equally important for the success of every scene , and ultimately the final feature film (Grossman 271-285. 15p). Through the history of American cinema, there has been a conflict among scholars of cinema studies, in determine the effect of different leadership roles on the making of film. Most film school’s focus on the role of the director as the master crafter of the film, this leads some time to miss directional conflicts among film students , who are often grade individually for film they were require to create as a group. These students usually are only successful when they mange to fit on a group, where all personalities match well, and every member of the group values their role , and takes a harmonious responsibility to give his best even if his job is to hold the pole microphone trough the shot.

In the film industry, there are directors who merely take someone else’s vision and express it in their own way on film, then there are those who take their own visions and use any means necessary to express their visions on film. The latter of these two types of directors are called auteurs. Not only do auteurs write the scripts from elements that they know and love in life, but they direct, produce, and sometimes act in their films as well. Three prime examples of these auteurs are: Kevin Smith, Spike Lee and Alfred Hitchcock.
Movies today are extremely expensive to make and are typically financed through either film studio contracts or from investors willing to take a risk. In order to be successful, movies need to be marketed and distributed either under contract by the film studios or by companies that specialize in such services. The aspects of financing, marketing and distribution of films have changed between the studio and independent systems over the years as the evolution of the film industry took place.
Classical Hollywood Cinema is a chain of events that has a cause – effect relationship within a time and space. The environment looks realistic and believable to the viewers because the style is predictable, and the time is linear throughout the film. Each scene with the development of the plot and story is motivated by cause and effect. The filmmaking process involves four major steps that cut across the board. The process revolves around these levels that make it orderly to every individual involved in filming. The process has the following stages: Idea and Development, Pre-Production, Production and Post- Production. In Idea and Development it is normally
The purpose with this paper is to study and compare two different directors, and to compare and contrast the two different works. How are they working with their movies and how do they use mise-en-scene? By studying two different directors that uses different techniques when making movies, we are going to find out how important mise en scene really is, and how it affects the movie.
In a movie, camera angles are also important part. Due to the angles, the view of the scene and

Nonlinear editing and storytelling use the advances in editing from a linear process to a nonlinear process and applies them to the process of storytelling (Dancyger, 2007) and major way this it used in Snatch (2000) is by not having one main character but by having four main groups of characters who the film follows through out. With having four groups of characters the introduction of these character represent a challenge as the audience is introduced to a large number of people quickly into the film. The use of transitions at both the beginning of the film and throughout the film to bring the story together and tie each group of character together allows fo...
With this short but very interesting and informative class I have just scratched the surface of the what it takes to make a full fleged film. It takes much more than I had presumed to make a movie in Hollywood. The number of people that it takes to make a minute of a movie let alone the entire movie was astonishing to me. There are many things that it takes to start making a movie but without an idea of some sort there is no movie to be made.
This New Wave aesthetic solidified film as a mainstream artform, stressing that film was carefully crafted similarly to literature. Individual directors, or auteurs, were expected to “author” their films in much the same way that an author would write a novel. This auteur theory and its accompanying aesthetic became the backbone of the French New Wave and was what drove innovation. Breaking free from the screenwriter, producer, and studio driven systems of the past, and putting the creative power back in the hands of the director was seen as a crucial step in solving Cahiers’ perceived problems with French cinema before the movement.
...regarded films of the 90s and 00s, such as The Celebration. This film accomplished great visual results even with the Dogme95 rule set seemingly working against it, and turned out to be a highly stylised film that reeled the viewer in to an intimate experience not often achieved in other non-Dogme95 films. Not only do obstructions lead to technical achievements, they have been shown to lead to self-reflection and self-realisation, as seen in The Five Obstructions, which leads to greater understanding of their own process in future projects. Through discussing Dogme95, The Celebration, and The Five Obstructions, this essay concludes that obstructions are a viable solution to a Hollywood reliant on technologies and clichéd conventions, and by forcing the filmmaker to question their profession, and themselves as auteurs, a source of great inspiration can be spawned.
The postmodern cinema emerged in the 80s and 90s as a powerfully creative force in Hollywood film-making, helping to form the historic convergence of technology, media culture and consumerism. Departing from the modernist cultural tradition grounded in the faith in historical progress, the norms of industrial society and the Enlightenment, the postmodern film is defined by its disjointed narratives, images of chaos, random violence, a dark view of the human state, death of the hero and the emphasis on technique over content. The postmodernist film accomplishes that by acquiring forms and styles from the traditional methods and mixing them together or decorating them. Thus, the postmodern film challenges the “modern” and the modernist cinema along with its inclinations. It also attempts to transform the mainstream conventions of characterization, narrative and suppresses the audience suspension of disbelief. The postmodern cinema often rejects modernist conventions by manipulating and maneuvering with conventions such as space, time and story-telling. Furthermore, it rejects the traditional “grand-narratives” and totalizing forms such as war, history, love and utopian visions of reality. Instead, it is heavily aimed to create constructed fictions and subjective idealisms.
Throughout the years Hollywood has made a great transformation with its movies. With the development of technology and other sources movies are tending to become better and better. When movies were first introduced they were scratchy and some had little to no sound. In today’s society movies show up on screens crystal clear. Some movies are even 3-d which gives the audience a feeling that they are actually there. Amazing advancements in editing can make anything become possible on a movie screen with just a couple of clicks of the mouse. Hollywood and its films have truly come a long way from what they use to
The film industry has always been somewhat of a dichotomy. Grounded firmly in both the worlds of art and business the balance of artistic expression and commercialization has been an issue throughout the history of filmmaking. The distinction of these two differing goals and the fact that neither has truly won out over the other in the span of the industry's existence, demonstrates a lot of information about the nature of capitalism.
Offering the unique ability to visually and audibly convey a story, films remain a cornerstone in modern society. Combined with a viewer’s desire to escape the everyday parameters of life, and the excitement of enthralling themselves deep into another world, many people enjoy what films stand to offer. With the rising popularity of films across the world, the amount of film makers increases every day. Many technological innovations mark the advancement of film making, but the essential process remains the same. Pre-production accounts for everything taken place before any shooting occurs, followed by the actual production of the film, post-production will then consist of piecing the film together, and finally the film must reach an audience. Each step of this process contributes to the final product, and does so in a unique right. The process of film making will now start chronologically, stemming from the idea of the story, producing that story into a film, editing that footage together, and finally delivering that story to its viewers.
