a producer   a director   a writer   an editor  an actor

Tell the group your ideas. Are you right?

 

2)     Read about the steps in making a film.

How do they make a film?

STEP I: THE IDEA

A film starts with an idea. Often this comes from a producer who is interested in making a particular type of film. The producer contacts a writer. The writer writes a script. If the producer likes it, the producer then contacts a director. The director plans how they can make the film. If the producer agrees, the director then chooses the people who will help to make the film.

STEP II: MAKING THE FILM.

The director decides exactly what will happen in each scene. The director of special effects organizes the special effects for the film. The producer organizes the money for the film and how the public will see it (e.g. in cinemas, television or on video). Often, there are one or two main actors or actresses (‘stars’), some supporting actors and “extras” who appear in the crowd scenes. The casting director has the job of choosing the actors. The director of photography is in charge of directing all the camera operators. The designers are responsible for choosing the clothes and the make-up for the actors and for deciding what the “set” will look like.

STEP III. EDITING THE FILM

Every day, the editors produce film for the director to check. They cut the film and join it together the way the director wants it.

STEP IV. SELLING THE FILM

When the film is ready, the producer contacts the distributors who sell the film to video shops, television companies and cinemas and we see it!

 

3)     Answer the following questions:

1.    What is the title of the text? Give your own variants.

2.    What are the steps in making a film?

3.    What kind of directors do you know?

4.    Whose job in making a film is the most difficult?

 

4)     Match the following professions related to film making with their duties:

producer

plans how they can make the film

writer

produces film for the director to check

director

plays the best role of the film

star

writes a script

designer

sells the film to video shops or television companies

is responsible for choosing the clothes and the make-up for the actors
