The UNdead !!!!!!

I believe that the most challenging aspect of creating a film would be the money and problems that arise during production for example someone gets sick and cannot finish the production.

The money part of the movie making business is one of most important parts because if you do not have enough money to - create props, recruit actors and rent locations you want to shot on. I would advise to have a couple of grand at least in a emergency pile/account just incase a camera brakes or a actor requests a pay rise even though they shouldn’t because they would have signed a contract saying that they will do the scenes needed for $- amount of money or a location you wanted to shot on cast more then you thought or you just cant rent it out at all.

One of the most common problems that occur would be something is not work as it is suppose to be on set for example (the shark on jaws how it wouldn’t work for a couple or weeks). Another problem that may arise is you cant not get the actor you really wanted because they are busy or do not wish to take part in your movie, this would mean that you would have to find another actor who could fill the gap, one other problem that may arise would be the location for where you wish to shot has problems such as could not rent it out for the amount of time wished or the weather isn’t what you wanted (if out doors) or something happens to the location such as disasters etc… that’s why I believe that you should have back up money.

In conclusion I think if you have these two potential problems under control you should have a successful movie on your hands and if other problems arise you would be able to deal with them successfully.

Television/film/video producer

Producers are the main players in the television, film and video industries. Producers work closely with directors and other production staff on the shoot. Increasingly, they need to have directing skills themselves as the producer may also be the director and may take care of all project operations. Creative input and the level of decision-making vary, as this is dependent on the client and the brief.

Producers arrange funding for each project and are responsible for keeping the production within the allocated budget.

Producers are responsible for facilitating a project from beginning to end. They are involved in every stage of the television program, film or video, overseeing the project from start to finish, both in the studio and on location. Essentially team leaders, they are supported by production assistants, coordinators and managers, depending on the size of the project.

Typical work activities include:

• Raising funding;
• Reading, researching and assessing ideas and finished scripts;
• Commissioning writers or securing the rights to novels, plays or screenplays;
• Liaising and discussing projects with financial backers - projects vary from a small, corporate video costing £500 to a Hollywood feature film at more than £100million;
• Hiring key staff, including a director and a crew to shoot films or videos;
• Controlling the budget and allocating resources;
• Pulling together all the strands of creative and practical talent involved in the project to create a team;
• Organising shooting schedules - dependent on the type of producer and availability of support staff;
• Troubleshooting;
• Supervising the progress of the project from production to post production;
• Holding regular meetings with the director to discuss characters and scenes;
• Bringing the finished production in on budget.

Jaws

1. The man from Road Island named Peter Benchley, who was a shark fisher; they read it though the newspaper and thought it would make a good movie so they got in contact with Peter and suggested the idea of making a movie from his book.

2. They cut the scenes from the movie because they thought it was just too gory and didn’t want that in the movie so they deleted the scenes, because they wanted to base the movie more on suspense the pure horror because the suspense seemed to drag more people into movies then just a plan old horror.

3. The footage was real life footage from south Australia, When the shark got caught with its nose in the brightel when it was trying to swim past they wanted to get the footage with someone in the tank however no one was so they edited the script because they wanted the scene for the movie because it was so dramatic.

4. They had their star already so they didn’t need to go and spend a whole lot of money on other members of the crew because the main focus of the movie would be on the shark and the other members of the cast would be like co-stars to the shark.

5.Location scouting is when a member of the crew goes to find a place suitable for the scene for example the first scene where the young woman gets eaten from the shark or just attacked from the shark they would had to scout the location first to make shore it would be suitable for this particular scene.

6. The actors contributed to the production of jaws by improvising or including a line from what they thought would be better in the situation then what is in the script and also they would contribute to the movie by their acing abilities.

7. The composer is the person who puts all the music together. The composer has to take where they are, what’s in the scene and what the scene is suppose to represent into account when he is choosing/designing the music for the scene.

8.Spilberg use barrels to keep the shark afloat in the water because at this time the shark was not working and every time he would fail he would announce over the speakers "The shark is not working" and when is finally did he got to announce " The shark is working".

9. The D.O.P (director of photography) is the person in charge of the Pictures taken or the person to place people in the current location for the photo to take the most effetely.

10. The editor works in tandem with the director in editing the film that has been shot. In other words an editor edits the scene's using apps to enhance some things for example to make the shark even scarier the Editor of Jaws is a female named Verna Fields

11.A producer oversees and delivers a film project to all relevant parties in other words they are there to make shore everyone is doing their job properly and the time of production is on track to finish on time from when it is suppose to.

12. Once the principal photography the producers involve the pictures taken during the production into movie for parts where they would fit nicely.

13. The Producer designer is the person responsible for the visual designs on the set for e.g.
The shark look and how the boat should look the size the shape etc.

14. I think my skills would properly suit me best to a Producer or a Editor because i have good ideas most of the time and I like to extend my ideas and share them with everyone.
