Telecine

2009-08-27T10:57:00.000-07:00

Telecine is the process of the conversion of negative film of motion picture on to the video format with the help of sophisticated telecine equipments.With the help of this process,producers and distributors can view the desired result with the help of color correction.
Now question arises why the process of telecine has gained so much importance in the modern day of technology whenever films are made over the budget at the gigantic level.This is because,with the help of non linear editing which is done with Final Cut Pro software ,it has become imperative to gain desired result with this marvellous software whether it may be in the color correction or it may be in the digital intermediate,one can preview the desired result with the help of this software which is not possible without video format.
In the video format ,lot of expense is saved which was quite impossible in the early days of cinema when at that time ,editing was done with the steanback process i.e.with the help of scissor,in that process,shot by shot matching was done along with the sound negaive which has become out of dated in today's life.Lot of expense was involved in the sound negtive and positive.Lot of pain was taken for the synchronization of the negaive and positive process of tapes but in th modern age,final cut pro software has made the thing quite easy.One can create special effects and all related color correction in the scenes and also preview all the scenes with the help of desired effects and then it is saved in the hard disc.
Then all the final result is transferred over the master tape from where the final shots are withdrawn.The whole keycoding process is taken.With the help of key coding,the scenes are extracted from the master tape and then film is printe on the stock positive.
The process of final cut pro is very result oriented process which I will explain in the future time to come.For detailed technical analysis and to gain knowledge.Please do visit http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Movie_Making_Manual/Post-production/Telecine

How to write a screenplay

2009-08-21T04:53:00.000-07:00

while writing the screen play,one has to bear three things in mind i.e character ,plot and theme.Actually writing a good script is a soul of commercial film why commercial film but any film.First of all,the concept of the story should be clearly written out.Secondly,the characters of the story upon which the story is made.Third important thing,the relation of the character with each other with respect to locations and with events of the story.This factor determines that what will happen in the story while telling over the screen and time of the happing events. Lastly,The individual scene is written with great emphasis over the characters's action,description and dialogue which increses the emotional conflict between the characters involved.
One should always fill the story with the ideas that what will happen in the next moment.This is based upon the ``if "content that if this happened that what will happen next.Detailed information regarding the screenplay and writing the story can be found http://www.wildsound-filmmaking-feedback-events.com/how-to-write-a-screenplay.html, this is the best medium one can found for the story writing.

Screenplay

2009-08-21T04:26:00.000-07:00

The film sceenplay is description of the film ,one has to shown over the film made.It is the candlelight of all the unit and crew members associated with the project.First of all ,one has to write the story with the treatment.The scenes are written with the major description that what will happen scene after scene without any dialogues.The various points in the screenplay has to be highlighted from the commercial point of view.
Afterward, the main script is written that is called master script.This is broken down into no.of scenes one by one in terms of locations as well as time of the scene upon which one has to shoot the scenes.The description of the location and the places,the action of the characters has to be well written and intervened by the concerned dialogues of the characters.The camera placements has to be given in term of scene in the top most.These all things are agreed upon by both the producer and director of the film.
In hollywood,the shooting script is made in which all the agreed upon final shots of all the scenes is written upon which actually the film is shot in the field.This stage is used in the big budget modern films.

Difference between script and screenplay

2009-08-21T03:58:00.000-07:00

Dear globe,
Before I continue with description of script and screenplay,let us specify,what is the major difference between these two things.Actually,there is not major difference between script and screenplay.Script can be related to both drama,film and television whereas screenplay is mainly dealt with the description of the various scenes who one has to perform over the screen.In both things,scene flow will be there.In screenplay,more elaborative details are given in terms of visual treatment.In script format,more emphasis is given on scene dialogue and scene descriptions.In hollywood,sceenplay is used in much elborative form inwhich how visually the scene will be perforemed ,every thing is written over the paper in terms of light ,camera , camera placements,what type of lenses will be used,from which point of view the scene will be filmed.In the script ,writer has to show also the psychology of the characters performing the different roles.In both formation,writer has to divide the story into scene and dialogue but in the screenplay,more elaboration has to be given in term of visual presentation while in the script format,how the person will behave in what way,that is more elaborative.Actually both the terms are interchangeble when applied in terms of work.

Digital Intermediate

2009-08-19T11:44:00.000-07:00

Digital intermediate is nothing but the digitizing of the motion picture in which the color correction is performed to give look more colossus to the final print which is sent to the theatre for the distribution.This process is always done at higher resolution e.g.2K or 4K.All the digital equipments are used for this process.
In this process,the film is scanned and screened on the large projection system even when film is in the negative form and desired results are obtained after adding color correction.One can screen result on preview basis that how the particular scene would look like in what color format.when final scene is apporved with the help of color correction,that is stored and saved and this is final result for the color correction.
Color grading is done with the help of the red,green and blue light and the ultimate mixture of these lights will result in the final digital intermediate.
But before one go in the digital intermediate,one has to take all the things in the digital negative form,how the digitisation of the print goes,all is written and descriptive in a very lucid and informative manner in this site.http://www.sadwelkar.com/DI-scan.htm
