the main equipment is a DV
1. Pre-planning, script writing, 9 minutes, about two or three thousand words of script is ok
2. Writing the split-shot script, the purpose of this step is to make the post-shooting and editing more organized and detailed as far as possible, and to separate the shots in the same scene, so that the post-shooting is more time-saving
3. Role selection, good actors are more important than good post-production. Make scenes according to the split-shot script
5. Edit according to the early script and the inspiration of the late director
6. Make special effects in the late stage, and the title and the ending are also very important
This is what I searched for
1. Major preparations for each department
After all the creators are selected one after another, the producer should arrange all the creative departments to make preparations according to the shooting plan. Specifically, during the preparatory period, all departments should complete the following preparatory work:
(1) The director department
directs to polish the script. As a matter of fact, no director has shot the script completely, unless the script is written by the director himself. The director creates a sub-lens book, which reflects the creative intention in the sub-lens.
The director communicates and discusses with the creative staff to ensure that there is a unified artistic idea to guide the preparatory work. Before the official shooting, the director will also give a director's explanation to all the staff in order to unify the creative thinking.
The director leads the creative staff to see and fix the scenery, communicate with the main creative staff of the film crew in advance about the future work at the expected shooting site, and design the shooting plan.
The director gives the actors concentrated storytelling to help them get familiar with the plot, deeply understand the role and know their co-performers. There is more than one assistant director in the crew, and they have to be responsible for many different preparations, such as the on-site assistant director and the actor assistant director.

The artist will bring the suitable photos of the scenery back to the crew, and accompany the directors, photographers, lighting and other departments to see and fix the scenery. Don't have too many scenes, don't be too scattered, and the distance between scenes should not be too long, so as to facilitate centralized shooting. The departments of art, scenery setting and props cooperate to complete the preparation of the shooting scene, and when the conditions for real-life shooting are not available, artificial scenery setting should be carried out.
the props department provides the production team with a list of required props, and the production department will purchase, lease and make props.

The sound engineer communicates with the director to design the sound effect of the whole play. The sound engineer watches the scene together with other creative staff, and knows the recording conditions of the upcoming scene fairly well. The recording department provides the production team with the required equipment list, and checks and tries the rented recording equipment.

The production director and the on-site producers follow the director to inspect the scene. When choosing the scene, they should meet the requirements of the script, understand the traffic conditions, climate conditions, communication conditions, accommodation conditions, etc. of the scene, and know how to arrange the shooting plan and how to mobilize the staff to cooperate with the shooting. At the same time, it is also responsible for negotiating the conditions of use and signing a contract with the person in charge of the selected venue.

II. Signing contracts
During the film preparation period, various contracts and agreements need to be signed to ensure that all parties involved in the cooperation are bound by law. There are the following types of contracts and agreements that need to be signed:
(1) When signing a director employment contract, we must pay attention to the following clauses: the ownership of intellectual property rights; The completion time of the film; Requirements for the quality of finished films; Director's remuneration standard and method; Sanctions for breach of contract by both parties; Tax payment methods, etc.

Attendants are usually sent by equipment companies, and sometimes they have to do some extra things, such as follow focus and pushing rails.
(6) If there is no need, the equipment with expensive rent should not be left in the crew for a long time. In principle, this should be taken care of in the shooting plan and used intensively.
(7) ensure safety during transportation.
IV. Main work during the filming period
Financial management and cost control
During the filming period, the production director controls the implementation of the budget. Review all the expenses of the crew. The reimbursement documents of all departments must be signed by the parties, department heads and production directors before they can be reimbursed. The accountant assists the production director to manage the production funds, is responsible for the timely payment of the remuneration of the crew, and establishes the accounts of the crew. The physical objects purchased by the crew should be checked and registered by the production department for recycling after the filming.
Organize and urge the filming
The production director and the assistant director shall negotiate to prepare the filming plan, and shall overcome all kinds of difficulties during filming and take all measures to ensure the plan is completed on time. If something unexpected happens during filming, which seriously affects the original plan, the production department should arrange an executable alternative shooting plan as soon as possible, organize personnel to solve the difficulties as soon as possible, and report to the investors for help if necessary.
create shooting conditions
in order to ensure the daily shooting as planned, the production department should make preparations for production in advance, create shooting conditions at the shooting site, and solve various difficulties in the shooting process. Including contacting the shooting site, picking up and dropping off cast members, loading and unloading equipment and materials, maintaining order at the scene, checking safety measures, mobilizing vehicles and field workers, etc.
Make a daily shooting plan
Make a daily shooting plan and issue a shooting notice, and carefully consider various factors, including weather factors, actor scheduling factors, scene preparation factors and props preparation factors. Moreover, it is necessary to reasonably match the workload of interior and exterior scenes, day plays and night plays to prevent the filming work from making the cast members too tired.
organization and management of the shooting scene
the organization and management of the shooting scene is not the director's responsibility, but the director is only responsible for artistic creation, and the production department (on-site production) is responsible for the management of the whole scene. The production department knows the shooting angle and framing range of each shot to be shot, so as to organize the scene effectively.
safety management
the main content of safety management is the safety of personnel and property. Specifically: personnel safety, resident safety, scene safety, traffic safety, equipment safety, super safety, food safety, fund safety, disease and other safety matters.
logistics management
the logistics support of the film crew is cumbersome and important. As long as it involves catering, accommodation and transportation. Food supply can be provided in flexible ways, such as booking restaurants, ordering lunch boxes and hiring chefs to cook by themselves. The specific methods should be formulated according to the shooting situation, and the general principle is to ensure the smooth progress of the shooting work. Accommodation should be as close to the site as possible, with convenient transportation and convenient access; A parking lot with plenty of parking spaces; The room is not luxurious, but it should be clean, quiet and safe; Attention should be paid to the arrangement of rooms: arrange rooms according to departments, so that people with the same schedule can live together. Arrange for the producer, director and starring to live in a separate room to facilitate their work. Arrange special dressing room, costume room and prop room. Arrange a special conference room for the crew. Post department signs on every door for easy identification. Attention should be paid to transportation: the principle of renting vehicles is practicality, and a car rental company with experience in crew service should be selected as far as possible. The size of vehicles is matched, which is convenient for vehicle scheduling according to specific needs. Rent military vehicles as much as possible when filming in cities with more forbidden measures. Irrelevant personnel are prohibited from driving crew vehicles.
Coordination of working relationship
Production management is a modern management art, and the production manager is the sum of a series of artistic management means such as setting goals, budgeting results, planning strategies, selecting schemes, organizing implementation and so on. Every crew will always meet directors and other staff with different personalities and working methods, and they will all have an impact on the work of managers. Therefore, managers should master certain knowledge of artistic creation, be familiar with the laws of operation of various departments, and understand the professional knowledge of movies, so as to give full play to their management ability.
V. Main tasks in post-production
I. Editing pictures and dialogues
Editing pictures is the first task in post-production. Generally speaking, we divide picture editing into two steps: initial cutting and fine cutting. Fine cutting is a creative work, which requires editors to have montage thinking and master montage language in the process of editing, so as to create the best picture narrative effect through editing. After the initial cutting work is completed, the editor is only left with a pile of raw materials, and an excellent editor can create pleasing visual effects on this basis.
2. The post-recording of sound
is divided into three parts: recording dialogue, recording sound effects and recording music. The sound engineer should determine the sound modeling of the film under the overall artistic guidance of the director. Judging from the working mode of the recording department, there are two ways: simultaneous recording and post-recording. Using the method of simultaneous recording, the dialogue and sound were recorded synchronously with the picture at the shooting scene. If the sound recorded in the field is not satisfactory, it may be re-recorded in the field, or it may be reserved for the post-recording to re-record and process the unsatisfactory department. The advantage of simultaneous recording is that the sound is realistic, and actors don't have to stick to limited lines when expressing, so there is a lot of room for play. The disadvantage is that the recording conditions of the shooting scene are relatively high, and sometimes it is easy to cause a remake because of the poor recording effect.
3. Making special titles, subtitles and titles
In nonlinear systems, subtitles and stunts can be added after all the pictures are edited, or both can be done at the same time. The production of subtitles mainly includes the production of the credits at the beginning and end of the film and the dialogues and monologues of the characters in the play. Must use the standard language published by the state, and make it according to the requirements of the film broadcasting unit on font, position and size, and no typos or other characters can appear.
fourth, mixed recording
mixed recording and synthesis is to mix and record all the sounds and pictures in the film according to their proper positions and effects, and then the final appearance of the film will be finalized.
