12、he script; two options1） The original writer takes part in the production of the script2） Directors write the scripts themselvesGood morning, ladies and gentlemen! Lets start this introduction to filmmaking with a simple question: How many of you have seen a movie this week? It doesnt matter if it w

13、as at the theater or just on your own TV. Uhhuh, just as I thought, almost all of you have. Of course, most of us love the moviesthe magic, the escape that they provide, but most of us rarely stop to think about the process of making a movie. Just what does it take to get that movie from the idea st

14、age to the final product? What are the decisions that must be made? What problems are encountered? Exactly how does a movie studio go about making a movie? These are precisely the topics that we will be exploring today. There are six basic steps that are normally followed in the production of a full

15、-length film. Ill outline them for you. The first step is rather obvious-to make a film you must have an idea., a story.some topic for the project. The studio must find a property. Thats a key word, folksproperty, p-r-o-p-e-r-t-y. You all know the common meaning of this word, of course, but in filmm

16、aking the word property has a very specific meaning. A property is the story on which the movie will be based. Okay, its the story on which the movie is based. You are probably wondering why we call it a property. Well, it belongs to someone; it is that persons and must be acquired by the studio, so

17、metimes for quite a large sum of money. There are basically two kinds of properties. The first is an original story that has never appeared anywhere beforenever been in a book, or magazine, or another film. In other words, the story is intended from the very beginning to be made into a movie. Star W

18、ars is one good example of this type of propertyyou do remember that famous science fiction film, dont you? Another example is Back to the Futureoh, and also Rocky. All of these were based on a story written only for the purpose of making a movie. Actually though, the majority of properties, for fam

19、ous films at least, come from novels, plays, or musicals that are already published. Examples of this type of property include The Sound of Music, which was originally a play, Tess, a famous novel, and The Godfather, which was also first a novel. Okay, thats step number onefinding a property. Well,

20、now we have the property. The next step is to prepare a script from that property. This part of the process can take several months or sometimes even a year or more. Its quite a lengthy and time-consuming process. During this time, the scriptwriter, producer, and director usually work very closely w

21、ith each other. Recently, there has been a trend to also have the original writerthe original property owner take part in the production of the script. This means that if the property is taken from a book or play, the original author of the book or play is involved in writing the script. This is a g

22、ood trend, I think. Who could possibly know the story better or understand it more clearly than its original creator? Another option, however, is for directors to write scripts themselves. This often occurs because scriptwriters are not only responsible for the dialog, but they also must specify wha

23、t kind of camera shots they want used. For instance, in all scenes, and especially long scenes that dont have any dialog, the scriptwriter must describe what the camera should focus on, what should be in the center of the shot, what mood the image should present. Directors have much more experience

24、with camera work and often prefer to write the script themselves for this reason. So thats step number twowriting the script.Task 4A. 1） a） 2） a）B. 1） F 2） F 3） T How movies are produced Third stepcasting the film; two types of casting1） Building the movie around a famous starAdvantages: A famous st

25、ar is a great asset to the film. It attracts fans automatically. Financial success of the movie depends on how many people come to see it.Disadvantages: Famous star are very expensive.

26、d actresses Movie centers around the story itself. Make the movie more believable.Fourth stepfilming the movie; done in two types of places1） Soundstagesboth pictures and dialogs are recorded.2） Partially filmed on locationin a real setting.Note: all the scenes with a big star can done first, or all

27、 the scenes shot at the same location can be filmed at the same time. Okay, now the script is finished and approved, and we are ready for the next stepa very critical step indeedthe casting of the film.The success or failure of a movie can depend on the ability of the actors and actresses to convinc

28、e us that they really are the characters that they are portraying. The producer and the director must choose the cast very, very carefully. This step of choosing the actors and actresses is called casting. Got it? Casting is choosing the actors and actresses, the cast of the movie. There are, in gen

29、eral, two types of casting. The first and the most common approach is to build the movie around a famous star. It is obvious that having a well-recognized name in the cast is a great asset to the film. Having someone, like Tom Cruise, Meryl Streep, or Harrison Ford will automatically attract large numbers of their fans to the movie. And of course, the financial success of the movie depends on how many people come to see it. Now, there is also a second t
