may surprise you let's take a look at how movies and television shows are made it all starts with an idea about half the time someone will pitch an idea about a movie to a movie studio other times someone from within the studio will come up with an idea and shop it around inside the company and seek approval studio executives and bigwigs will weigh the arguments of the movie some of the things they'll consider are cost of making the movie or show audience size for who wants to see such a product potential earnings at the box office and rentals chances of it becoming a breakout interested parties in favor of financially supporting a project and the reputation it will give the studio after a while deciding on whether a project should or should not be greenlit scripts are written this can take anywhere from a couple of months to a couple of years during either the proposal process or script writing creative differences can pop up causing staff members to leave the project sometimes these result themselves in the form of another but similar movie being made and being released around the same time from a different studio once the script is finalized pre-production ramps up in earnest filming locations are scouted camera crews are brought in makeup artist booked secondary directors hired lighting crews found costume department and computer graphics specialists are all hired to make the movie while traditional film location scouting still occurs a great deal of technology has helped step in to allow directors to see what locations or virtual sets will look like today locations can be scanned into a 3d environment by a small local team the data can be sent wherever a director and his staff are allowing them to recreate the location in the virtual world this allows them to have an idea of what challenges they will encounter if they choose to use this location some things to consider are what equipment to bring how to work out logistics of bringing their equipment food water and personnel and ankles to place the cameras for ideal shots another area that is seeing a boom are visual aids and sets while you may know that hollywood likes to use a lot of green screen to make epic looking sequences one thing that is changing is the use of massive electronic screens that wrap around a set one of the first movies that used this extensively was oblivion with tom cruise in 2013. however since then big productions like the mandalorian have used the large screens to help envelop actors with a sense that they are actually in their environment on top of saving time on the backend of post-production special effects this helps eliminate the need for green screen technology altogether for large swaths of the movie saving time and money camera resolutions and screen pixelation have come to the point where the human eye cannot tell the difference when watching the finished product once principal photography is complete the raw footage is sent to computer graphics specialist to add in details in the movies on top of video editors to chop up the footage into the final product during the editing process the editors will also adjust the scenes to match a particular color palette while all of this is happening there are also sound editors who are working hand in hand with the video editors to add sound effects from here directors will give their opinions of scenes and hand instructions to support editors or directors to make changes once these changes are made a more finalized draft is sent to the music composer of the movie where a musical score is placed into the timeline once a director feels comfortable with this draft it is sent to executives at the movie studio to screen the movie they will give their feedback for changes they believe will be better for an audience sometimes reshoots are required costing studios millions of dollars as was the case with rogue one and justice league after several back-and-forths on this the movie will be tested in front of a small showing of volunteers from the general public based on their feedback the studio may decide to make changes or allow the current version to be released from here a special screening is arranged for movie critics to allow them to write about the movie in newspapers and websites drumming up interest and giving the movie some free publicity this is where you come in based on box office returns and audience ratings studios may then decide to create sequels as was the case with the john wick series what's your favorite part about the movie making
