The big task of making a movie usually begins with a script (written by a screenwriter) that gets purchased by a movie studio or a producer. The producer is the person who is responsible for coordinating aspects of the film like the budget and scheduling. The producer plans out how the movie project will be made and usually starts by hiring a director.
In the making of a movie, the director’s job is to bring the script to life on camera. The director will usually identify themes or feelings that he or she wants the movie to convey to its audience and will then assemble all the other's who will be needed, such as costume designers, makeup artists, special effects, set designers or location scouts, stuntmen, cameramen, cinematographers (who supervise and instruct the cameramen), and, of course, actors.
Next, shooting the film begins! The actual filming can be a very slow process, often a director will want to get several “takes” or (versions) of a scene or moment and usually only the equivalent of a few minutes of the movie are finished in one full day’s work. Scenes are also usually not shot in order, so once filming is completed, the director must then work with editors to piece them all together, deciding which takes to use and adding in any special effects or touch-ups.
The entire process from acquiring the script to editing the scenes generally takes months or even years! Once the film is ready, the finished movie is then distributed to many movie theatres so it can be watched and enjoyed by people like me and you.
