Make Your Own Movie

 


How the heck to make that movie? This post is not a defense, nor a new blasphemy.

Basically, make the film can be divided into 14 stages, namely





1. IDE

Ideally, the IDE has to be unique and original. But, decided to retell a work of others that also includes an IDE. To search for IDE, many ways you can do. Perform continuous observation, a walk to a strange place and have not been visited by man, perched on the tamarind tree by the roadside, watching the passing vehicles, or even sit back in a food court in a plaza or mall. Daydreaming alone in the room can also bring in the idea, really ...

2. Target

After getting the IDE, specify the target of the film to be made. Private collection? High school student? Community S & M? The Otaku? The Blogger? Who will watch the movie later? It should also be clearly defined at the beginning. Do not let happen, the film is intended for high school kids, but because it had not been clear, finally met the bloody fight scenes a la 300

3. Destination

IDE and target has been set. Which must be ensured next is the purpose of making films. Want to arouse nationalism as Naga Bonar? Want to convey messages before nge-bomb? Want to get personal satisfaction of making movies like Passion of the Christ? What?

4. Basic Materials

Next is preparing the subject matter. What is your message? Expression of love? Just a message warned of the dangers of smoking?

5. Synopsis

Synopsis is a summary that describes the story in outline. Such initial idea so loh. From this synopsis, will be developed into a more detailed story.

6. Treatment

This stage is the depiction of scenes that would later appear in the story. Not detailed. Sample treatment was like this ...

There are a smoker who was smoking casually. Then he suddenly coughed violently and rather long. Before leaving, the man carelessly discard cigarette. Suddenly the fire ...

7. Manuscript

Manuscript is a detailed form of the story. Equipped with a variety of explanations that support the story (setting environment, background music, expression, everything ...). Examples of text, like this ...

FS. Ali pedaled rickshaws. Ais sat thoughtfully, Ali ignored the back and forth at him.

Ali: "Dak have to think about is, Ma'am ..."

Ais: "(shocked) Heh? What, Bang!"

8. Assessment

Assessment here, is performed by an expert on the content (content) or media expert. Studied, is whether the manuscript is in conformity with the original purpose? And things like that ...

9. Prototype Production

This process is divided into three sub-stages, namely pre-production (translation of the script, casting the player, collection equipment, and making the determination of the set, determining a good shot, making the story board, drafting budgets, as well as preparation of work relatives), production (shooting images according to the script and improvisation director), full-production (editing point is).

10. The trial

The test is done by turning the prototype in the presence of a small group of people. If the producers of the film, usually do this in front of the critics. The aim is to study the response of the prospective audience.

11. Revision

After no response, then made changes where necessary. Because it is, many films that have deleted scenes. That caused the process of testing and revision.

12. Preview

It is a preview of the premiere, in the presence of content experts, media experts, directors, producers, script writers, editors, and all the crew involved in the production. The purpose of this preview is to ensure that everything runs smoothly as planned or there is a deviation. It could be said, that this preview is the final inspection process before a movie is officially released.

13. Preparation of accompanying material

The material accompanying it is a poster advertising, trailer, teaser, read the manual (if the movie made is a film tutorial), and others that may be needed to succeed in this movie.

14. Multiplication

The last step is to archive and duplication for distribution by Joni (this happened in earlier times when, time format digital film still exist in wishful thinking).

Well, this is a film production process. From start to finish, ready for distribution. So, what else is waiting? Let's production of quality films in order not to say that the movie makers in Indonesia has lost creativity and can not produce more original work.

Can Writing Is Important

The number of emails that ask for tips on good writing makes me write a series of "Writing is easy". Arswendo never write that book about 20 years ago if I remember correctly. I did not read the book although I often read the writings / short stories in magazines trengginas Arswendo the Hai and various other media. I will be looking for a book to enrich this paper. I created this article for granted.

Out of the brain, directly channeled into the laptop keyboard. Not wearing any formula. Without reading the literature. This paper, I let it flow just based on experience.

I'm not as good as Arswendo, Emha, Goenawan Mohamad, or dozens of great writers are more scattered in Indonesia. I am mediocre writer. But thanks to write my own to pay for college and graduate degree Nuclear Engineering, Gadjah Mada University.
Because I can write can do many things that are categorized as special. I for example, can go to Jakarta without hesitation just a week after graduation even though only armed with boxes of Djarum cigarettes and a few pairs of clothes. I am also easy to write a letter of application and interview is almost always invoked as a cover letter I am really sexy and attractive. I also dare to be a journalist without fear of being poor and rejected as prospective in-laws because of the journalistic profession 13 years ago is a profession that is still underestimated.

Even that is not less interesting: during the first 4 years in Jakarta, I could write a romantic letter to a prospective wife in Jogja at least once a week each 4 sheets folio. The little things I can tell the love letter. No warning, the letter was collected by my wife to 2 sacks. We giggled when one day repeat reading it one by one. We just realized, how lovingly we both communicate via letter. After marriage, when he was a journalist and was assigned to the out of town or abroad, I spend writing a letter to read when I go. Now, sometimes I send an email to my ex-girlfriend.

I am convinced that the achievements right now - could be a director in the company famous, bold move quadrant and open new business capital despite a mediocre, provide consultation, a speaker at the seminar, get a wife who is special - not as easy if I have achieved this without the capability provided , will and habit of writing.

Writing is as important to communicate through speech. Even in
some instances, text communication is much more striking than the words. Writing concepts, proposals, meeting minutes, reports, cooperation agreements or make presentations and a myriad of writing must have been an integral part of our working lives today. Not infrequently, we can assess the ability of partners, subordinates, business partners, from their writings. Never in a meeting, I ask all of which make meeting minutes. The result as I expected:
which smart capable of making minutes meeting a concise, precise and easily understood. The less intelligent, on the contrary. Quite often I find smart people who do not pass the selection phase of the initial job application because her application mediocrity. Often I find the case of a proposal that is well written and interesting got rid of the other proposals that although the same concept but poorly written.

Camera With Image Capture Method

Kodak Easyshare C433

The camera is one important tool in making a film. Camera functions are taking or recording scenes directed by the director and then visualized by players who perform scenes. The camera is operated by a film crew called cameraman and operated in accordance with the direction of director. To become a cameraman must know the types of cameras, know-how or techniques hold the camera, shooting technique, elements of shooting, etc..

How to hold the video camera.
Hold the camera steady. Use one hand to hold the camera and operate the zoom control, and your other hand to keep the camera position is not easily shaken. can be moved to different positions, depending on the angle you want - in many conditions always use a tripod to keep the image remains stable.

Zoom.
Avoid using the zoom technique to record the vast landscape without using a tripod. This is the basic way to avoid the occurrence of shocks on the image which can result in useless images recorded.

The sound.
It should be noted regarding the vote. If we do not use the earphones, the camera still recording background noises that are not needed, then do not spend unnecessary noise or talking while recording.

Regulation 10 seconds.
Regulation is important in recording, record in a longer time and avoid movements kemera unnecessary. Always record at least one scene in 10 seconds. This will facilitate film editors to take the pieces of the required images. Remember to keep a count to 10 seconds, despite the difficult conditions, it was 10 seconds long. Record your subjects for 10-20 seconds, stop and take another picture.


Panning & Tilting
Panning (moving horizontally to take pictures) and Tilting (take pictures of moving vertically) should be used sparingly if you want to get the base image by moving the image position, or when we've experienced as a carrier film. If we decide to do the panning, the camera Move smooth as we can and do suddenly. Remember always aturan10 seconds for each still image / static at the beginning and also at the end of the panning shots. Always better to take a lot of static images, and remember also that the later pictures we take will be edited back by the editors. The use of panning should not be too long (between 3 to 5 seconds).

Focus, Exposure and White Balance (color balance).
Always check the focus and exposure. When using the zoom far and near focus is always at the ideal distance to the object we want to be recorded and when we do focus zoom far everything looks - when we do the zooming in on the nearest object first and then we zoom in other objects in the distance (for example an animal in the distance ) then it will make a picture out of focus at all. The discrepancies between the faint objects and clear the main object is very important. Even objects that are only slightly out of focus will make the film become useless. Always check exposure and try to record on the same object with manual and automatic way to make sure we get the best picture we want. If we already have a lot of experience, it is becoming no longer need to be done.

Date and Time.
Never install a sign date and time recorded on the film screen, this will make the film totally unusable. Writing the date and time on a movie screen does not prove that the film was taken at the time of the writing on the screen, because it could be written on 5 November 1950 did not warrant making the film in 1950, could have each person change the date and time. However, should we always record our voices at the beginning of shooting that describes when an image is recorded, the location and country where we record the image in this way that can record information permanently filming the time and place. It is very important and often forgotten, and when we forget what and where exactly a picture is taken, woe to us. If we have a GPS to show the location we are, always record the readings and films also record background. Unlike marks the date and time, this can provide evidence.

Cutaways (picture charger).

When we record an object, activity or interviews we need to always take another picture. For example, when we record an interview we need to record also the people we interviewed office or something else to provide additional explanation for our interview movie. We see another example, if we make a movie about an orangutan, do not forget to record the forests where they live and the fires that destroyed large forest habitat. This will make a movie more informative.

How to Shoot a good Picture of Focus Part 2

I use a Kodak Camera Easyshare C433 Classic
I've discussed previously on "How to Shoot a good Picture of Focus"
but now I have another idea for the share to our friends. Produce images as sharp as a razor sharp is the desire of many lovers of photography, and various additional features of the camera and accessories has been created to help us produce this sharp photos. From a tripod, stabilizer (or camera lens) to image editor software that comes tools to sharpen the final image.

This article will summarize some tips so that your photos sharper, please:

How to hold the camera

How to hold the camera very influential on the stability of the camera (read: the sharpness of images), read the how to hold the camera is good.
Shutter Speed.

If you speed up the shutter speed, then you will get sharp photos. Remember the standard rule for sharp images when you shoot handheld: "use a shutter speed faster than your lens focal length". Here penjabarannya:

• If the length of your 50mm lens, shoot with a shutter speed of 1 / 60 sec or faster
• If the length of your 100mm lens, use a shutter speed of 1 / 125 sec or faster
• If the length of your 200mm lens, use a shutter speed of 1 / 250 sec or faster

Aperture

Aperture affects the depth of field (area of ​​focus in your photo). Reducing the aperture (increase the number, for example you choose f/22) will add depth of field, meaning sharp in an image area of ​​the greater includes the near and distant objects, so that the sharpness of the picture as a whole actually decreased.
Then do the opposite, select a large aperture (small number, eg f / 4), then you will focus sharply only near the focal area. Choosing a large aperture that lets you get a faster shutter speed.
ISO

Adding ISO will speed up the shutter speed and lets you choose a larger aperture. If you're shooting indoors, the ISO was larger, but do not overdo it (eg: select ISO 600 for shooting inside the house). select the ISO is too high (above 800), can cause noise (small black spots) in an image began to appear.
Focus


Do not just believe with autofocus camera, check carefully to use the eyes of your eyes are the focal point. When photographing the face at close range, make sure the focus falls diarea eye. When photographing an object, make sure the focus is there where you want the sharpest area. Autofocus camera could be wrong and just drop the focus in addition to objects that you want.
Lens

If you happen to have an SLR camera, choose the best lens you can buy. The lens is of good quality can drastically improve the sharpness of your photo. KIT lenses are usually offered for sale as a complete package with its camera quality is usually terrible. My advice, if you will buy a new SLR camera, buy separately between the camera (body only) and the lens. Do not buy a package of KIT. Lens with good quality is usually characterized by a large aperture (eg f/2.8).
Sweet Spot Lens

The lens has its sweet spots respectively. Sweet spot is certain where the lens aperture will produce the sharpest images. Lens sweet spot is usually located two stops above the maximum limit the ability of the lens aperture. For example, for f/2.8 lens so its sweet spot at f/5.6. Then use aperture f/5.6 lens if you shoot with it, your picture will be sharp razor-sharp.
Tripod

Tripod is impractical and inconvenient, but if you are "willing to" take it, you'll get sharper photos. Especially if you want to generate HDR or panoramic photos, let it go bring a tripod.

Avoid Kapur Barus

How to Shoot a good Picture of Focus

Notice the background

There are times when you most want from a photograph is highlighted background. Posing in front of the Borobudur Temple or Mount Bromo necessarily mean to tell me if 'I was never there'. To set the background it may seem obvious, while the object remains proportional.

But sometimes we just object is the main focus in a photograph, while the background is negligible. For that choose a background that does not disturb the focus of people who see our pictures. background is too crowded and full of colors can make people just busy looking at the background rather than the object image. If your camera is able to make the background into focus blur/out-of-, then do it.
Interest

Keep in mind also that each different lens focal position can give a different perspective on the object and background. When you use a zoom lens and will be photographing the object relative to the background, adjust your position, lens focal position, the position of the object and the background position to give the desired perspective.

Consider your camera

Finally, external factors beyond the above, the edges are also back on the camera as a tool that determines the image. Many people are disappointed after seeing the pictures he took, regardless of whether he already does best when shooting. Please recheck your current camera settings will be photographing:

Do not shake when taking pictures, just a little handshake will make blurry photos, especially when the shutter speed is low (below 1 / 30 second) or when using telephoto lenses (above 100mm)

Make sure the auto focus lock on the target object, instead of focusing on the background or other objects

Check the histogram before the shooting, when under or over can be compensated with the Exposure Compensation (Ev) toward the plus or minus

Determine whether you need to use flash or not, even during the day though.
