DEFINITIONA thought or suggestion to a possible course of action
|
We take your idea and key messages and work with you to find out how we can best deliver these to your audience. This is the stage where we think about your audience, length, style, approach, distribution channel, tone and any existing material that you would like us to be influenced by.
|
|
DEFINITIONA written work for a film, television program, etc. These can be original works or adaptations from existing pieces of writing. The movement, actions, expression and dialogues of the characters are also narrated.
|
Taking your ideas and key messages we then turn these into a script that will accurately and concisely deliver these to your audience in an engaging way. If you already have a script, we usually need to go through it and make sure that it not only delivers the right message, but it delivers it in a way that your audience will remember and is pitched at the right level.
|
|
DEFINITIONA sequence of drawings, typically with some directions and dialogue, representing the shots planned for a movie or television production. In other words, graphic representation of how your video will unfold, shot by shot.
|
Once the script and the style have been agreed we then start getting visual! We take the script and put this against a still of what we see happening on screen during that dialogue. We also add some information about the type of action that will be happening so you can see this coming to life. |
|
DEFINITIONCAST: The group of actors who make up a film.the purpose of producing a film or motion picture.
CREW : These members know who goes where and who appear in front of the camera or provide voices for characters in the film. |
This is your team! Determine who will do what! Depending on the type of production you require they will vary from professionals who will bring your characters to life!
No matter what size or type of cast you need, we will be able to help source, organize and brief them for the shoot. |
PRODUCTION
Filming, on air performance, basic lighting, the correct use and care of video equipment, the parts of a camera, basic audio concepts. Students will learn how to film using basic camera shots, shot composition, and camera movements.

LIGHTS, CAMERA, ACTION!
This is when the magic happens! Pulling together all the hard work of the previous steps ensures that the ‘shoot’ runs smoothly with a fantastic result. |
|
DEFINITIONA key factor in creating a successful image. Lighting determines not only brightness and darkness, but also tone, mood and the atmosphere.
|
This is a very important part of the shoot and is often much overlooked.
Lighting the scene correctly ensures that you not only can see the people and set clearly, but does a lot to set the mood and feel for scene. |
|
DEFINITIONAn electrical, mechanical, electronic, or digital inscription and re-creation of sound waves, such as spoken voice, singing, instrumental music, or sound effects.
|
This is also an essential part of the shoot and we always insist in having a sound engineer (person) on set to capture the audio no matter how big or small the production is. The right clarity of sound combined with a background track really does add a different dimension to your production.
|
|
DEFINITIONA piece of narration in a movie or broadcast, not accompanied by an image of the speaker.
|
This is also an essential part of the shoot and we always insist in having a sound engineer on set to capture the audio no matter how big or small the production is. The right clarity of sound combined with a background track really does add a different dimension to your production.

POSTPRODUCTION

|
DEFINITIONThe process of manipulating and rearranging video shots to create a new work. Editing is usually considered to be the biggest task in the production process. titling, color correction, sound editing, special effects, etc.
|
It’s this stage where all the captured footage are uploaded to the computer and imported into Final Cut Pro X and synced with the audio that has been recorded.
|
|
DEFINITIONA task responsible for selecting and assembling sound recordings in preparation for the final sound mixing or mastering of a television program, motion picture, video game, or any production involving recorded or synthetic sound.
|
Once the footage is edited we add the sound and any music that is required. These final touches add the extra layers such as sound effects to the production that will really set your production apart from the rest.
|
|
DEFINITIONAn illusion created for movies and television by props, camerawork, computer graphics, etc.
|
This is the sprinkle of magic that can add another dimension to your production! Visual Effects can be anything from some on screen text, to warping the realms of reality Hollywood style, it all depends on your production and the impact you need.
|
That’s a wrap! Once we have added all the sound, music, special effects, and fine tuned the editing,
we have a final movie ready to be watched by your audience!
