This episode will show you how to perform a script breakdown and how to budget for your film as well as how to hire key crew members like the first assistant director and director of photography. Follow screenwriter and director SC Lannom and producer Herman Wilkins as they reach out to department heads Kari Lane and Marvin Nuecklaus for the respective positions of 1st assistant director and director of photography. First assistant directors are in charge of safety on set as well as being in charge of time management, so it’s the 1st AD’s job to make sure the film production stays on schedule. The first assistant director is one of the most important members of your film crew, so you want to make sure you find someone that is reliable and confident. The other key crew member to hire early is the director of photography. The reason you want to hire your director of photography (or cinematographer) early is so that they and the director can get on the same page. They need to discuss lighting, what kind of special equipment and cameras they might use, and get a general sense of each other’s creative values and priorities. You can also discuss shot sizes, frame rates, camera focus, and any other important creative decisions. This series takes you from pre-production to post-production to show you how to make a movie or tv show idea become reality. In this web series, we take a short film and tv show idea and go through the process of directing movies and each of the film production careers associated with creating a proof of concept for a comedy tv show idea. No filmmaking theory here, just a step by step process of what it looks like to create a proof of concept tv show. The filmmaking process is shown to you in detail, and you will be able to see just how hectic making a TV show pilot on a small budget can be. Take what you learn from this filmmaking web series and apply it to your next project, whether you’re a director, cinematographer, editor, screenwriter, or filmmaker in general. See how to find and secure crew, find film locations, build shot lists, collaborate with your filmmaking team, see camera work decisions, and filmmaking problem-solving in real-time. We use our StudioBinder filmmaking tool along the way, so you can see how call sheets, contacts lists, script breakdowns, and more can help you create your own tv show idea on a very small professional budget. #cinematography #preproduction #filmmaking #assistantdirector — Music by Artlist ► bit.ly/2Ttdh8d Music by Soundstripe ► bit.ly/2IXwomF Music by Music Vine ► bit.ly/2IUE0pT Music by MusicBed ► bit.ly/2Fnz9Zq — SUBSCRIBE to StudioBinder’s YouTube channel! ►► bit.ly/2hksYO0 Looking for a project management platform for your filmmaking?
