The Making of a Film
Step 1: Development
The first step is the development stage, which involves the creation of the film's concept, script, and storyline. During this stage, producers and writers collaborate to develop a compelling script that can attract investors and talent..
Step 2: Pre-Production
Once the script is complete, the pre-production stage begins. This involves planning and preparing for the film's production, including scouting locations, casting actors, hiring crew members, and creating a shooting schedule. During this stage, the production team also prepares the budget, secures permits.
Step 3: Production
The production stage involves the actual filming of the movie. During this stage, the director and crew bring the script to life, shooting scenes in various locations and using specialized equipment to capture the desired shots. This stage involves careful coordination and communication among the entire production team to ensure that the film's vision is realized..
Step 4: Post-Production
After the filming is complete, the post-production stage begins. This stage involves editing the footage, adding special effects, creating a musical score, and completing sound design. This stage also involves adding the finishing touches to the film, such as color correction and finalizing the sound mix..
Step 5: Distribution
Once the film is complete, the next step is distribution. This involves getting the film to audiences through various distribution channels, such as theatrical release, DVD and Blu-ray sales, streaming services, and television broadcasting. The distribution process can be complex, and involves negotiating deals with distributors, marketing the film to potential audiences, and coordinating the release schedule.
professional approach
"Either write something worth reading or do something worth writing."
This quote from Ben Franklin embodies our mantra.
But even old Ben knew that our creativity had to cross over into enterprise and to that end our value is that we make stories work combined with a carefully gathered network that allows us to provide a team experts.
Whether on page, screen, home or web, from the idea to the final produced piece – it's delivered effectively by being emotionally driven to the audience and financially rewarding to the distributor.
Story Ripples
Story Ripples is our impact division. When the projects that we work on highlight social issues in our world today, we partner with organizations to help those individuals.
These orgs range from treatment for brain cancer, support for immigrant children, support for women who are in abusive situations or need reproductive health care, wrongful imprisonment, or helping rescue animals.
All stories have the power to inspire and move people to action, at LA Story Studio we strive to not only entertain but to deliver stories that highlight issues that others are afraid to talk about. It’s those very issues and the people that are affected and impacted by these issues, that deserve to have the resources they need to live and enjoy life more fully.
