2. Planning
Firstly as a group we watched one of the trailers from
Scream. Once we had the desired trailer we would
then come to an agreement as to what scenes we
wanted to portray and of course how we were going to
alter them to our delight. We all discussed ways of
depicting this genre of macabre horror and the
sanguineous nature of the movie in such a comical
fashion. We begun delegating errands and precise roles
to each individual of the group. There was also a
discussion on the props we were going to use. By the
help from our teacher we were ble to recieve the
requisite props for our production.

3. Production
Avatar
There are an array of stages involved in the
making of a film, they are as followed;
Development, pre-production, production and
distribution.
This presentation aims to boost your
perspicacity on the most fundamental aspects
of film based on my favourite movie...
AVATAR!!

4. Development
In this stage, the project's producer selects a story, which may come from a
book, play, another film, a true story, original idea, etc. After identifying a
theme or underlying message, the producer works with writers to prepare
a synopsis. Next they produce a step outline, which breaks the story down
into one-paragraph scenes that concentrate on dramatic structure. Then,
they prepare a treatment, a 25-to-30-page description of the story, its
mood, and characters. This usually has little dialogue and stage direction,
but often contains drawings that help visualize key points. Another way is
to produce a scriptment once a synopsis is produced.

5. Pre-production
In pre-production, every step of actually creating the film is carefully designed and planned. The
production company is created and a production office established. The production is storyboarded and
visualized with the help of illustrators and concept artists. A production budget is drawn up to plan
expenditures for the film. For major productions, insurance is procured to protect against accidents.
The producer hires a crew. The nature of the film, and the budget, determine the size and type of crew
used during filmmaking. Many Hollywood blockbusters employ a cast and crew of hundreds, while a low
budget, independent film The unit production manager may be made by a skeleton crew of eight or nine (or
fewer). These are
typical crew positions:
• The director
• The assistant director
• The casting director
• The director of photography
• The director of autography
• The production sound mixer
• The sound designer
• The production designer
• The art director
• The costume designer
• The choreographer

6. Production
In production, the video production/film is created and shot.
More crew will be recruited at this stage, such as the property
master, script supervisor, assistant directors, stills photographer,
picture editor, and sound editors. These are just the most
common roles in filmmaking; the production office will be free to
create any unique blend of roles to suit the various
responsibilities possible during the production of a film.
A typical day's shooting begins with the crew arriving on the
set/location by their call time. Actors usually have their own
separate call times. Since set construction, dressing and lighting
can take many hours or even days, they are often set up in
advance.

7. Post-production
Here the video/film is assembled by the video/film editor.
The modern use of video in the filmmaking process has
resulted in two workflow variants: one using entirely
film, and the other using a mixture of film and video.
This is the final stage, where the film is released to
cinemas or, occasionally, to consumer media (DVD,
VCD, VHS, Blu-ray) or direct download from a provider.
The film is duplicated as required for distribution to
cinemas. Press kits, posters, and other advertising
materials are published and the film is advertised and
promoted.

8. Marketing
• There were various marketing strategies that made the film the highest grossing film ever.
• James Cameron envisioned customizing the release so that every viewer in every theatre got the
best possible experience. There are a lot of vagaries when it comes to public exhibition, for
example screens are different sizes, different formats, and technologies involving 3-D. So they did a
customised release (which has never been done before) where ever you went, the theatre was
going to get the perfect cinema package to ensure you were going to get the best possible
screening, best possible experience of watching Avatar. James Cameron and his army of people
who created Avatar wanted to deliver a perfect experience, so by customizing the release that
came true. This proved very profitable too, as Avatar climbed to the top of the highest grossing film
ever, he topped himself once again topping his own film ‘Titanic’ as he proclaimed after winning
the award for Titanic “I’m king of the world” a line from the film, he has de-topped himself.
• Avatar was finally released on DVD in April 2010, does not contain any supplemental features other
than the theatrical film and the disc menu in favor of and to make space for adjusting picture and
sound. On November 16th 2010 the three disc extended collector’s edition of avatar was released.
This included Three different versions of the film are present on the discs: the original theatrical
cut, the special edition cut, and a collector's extended cut (with the DVD set spreading them on two
discs, but the Blu-ray set presenting them on a single disc). The collector's extended cut contains 6
more minutes of footage, thus making it 16 minutes longer than the original theatrical cut. It also
included an in-depth making into the film Avatar, 4 hours of never before seen footage.

9. Exhibition
Films can be viewed in Cinemas, purchasing a
copy of the DVD, Films can be watched on TV
and now the ability to download movies
online are becoming more prominate.

12. The Making of our Swede!!
We used final cut pro to edit our Swede. With
this application we were able to add effects,
alter shots, add additional slide transitions (eg
fading)
We were also able to tweak the audio through
the editing.
