With this short but very interesting and informative course I have just scratched the surface of what it takes to make a full-fledged film. It takes a lot more than I thought to make a movie in Hollywood. The number of people it took to make one minute of a film, let alone the entire film, was astonishing to me. There are many things needed to start making a film, but without an idea of ​​some kind there is no film to be made. A crew includes a screenwriter, whose job is to provide the written version of the entire film project. This is basically the starting point of any film. Then there's the producer. There are many types of manufacturers; executive producers, co-producers, assistant producers and line producers. They all do very different things. Some are the producers responsible for raising funds for the film, while others are responsible for the production that occurs during the filming of the film, and still others are responsible for what physically happens on set. Then it's the director's turn. The director is responsible for the actors. The director works with the actors to visually bring to life what is written in the script (Fortunato, Who Does What on a Film). Now the idea must take shape. The idea of ​​writing "what you know" is not always true, and writing "what you learn" is actually a more accurate way of writing. Other good ways to formulate ideas are to use plays, novels, short stories, life stories, new articles, or even past TV shows and films. When using an existing work, a person should make sure to copyright it before starting to write. Securing copyrights doesn't mean the process is over yet. Now a person needs...half of the card...at the end of the movie. All the time there is a tension that doesn't ease until the final fight and you find out who will take the cube, the decepticons or the auto-bots (Valenti, 107).
