LOGISTICS: MATERIALS: SOUND LIBRARY MATERIALS

During the pre-production stage of film research many sound library sources may be used, such as the British Library Sounds. The British Library Sounds holds many different sound recording in a DVD and video form. They try and get a copy of every sound released in the UK to help when people go to them for sound. 
"The BBC Sound Archive is a collection of audio recordings maintained by the BBC and founded in 1936. Its recordings date back to the late 19th century and include many rare items, including contemporary speeches by public and political figures, folk music, British dialects and sound effects."

 Sound library materials have lots of benefits such as, you can find any sound you want through one company. You can get all the legal rights to the sounds you need, also you can re-use them once you buy them. 

 A sound designer or sound editor might want to research sounds and access a sound library during pre-production because they might not be able to make a sound from scratch. It's also useful to them because they might get inspiration or use a sound that fits the film really well that they didn't know about if they didn't have a sound library. 

 If the sound department on a film crew cannot access a sound library because of time or budget then it will have an effect on the film overall. They may not of been able to access it because of in the time they was given it takes longer to secure one or they didn't have time to secure one until the end of pre-production. They may not of been able to secure a sound library because they are out of what the budget can afford. This may effect the production because the sound team may not be able to find the sounds that they need or they will have to make it themselves but not have the right material. This may mean that the film may sound off to the viewers or have little to no sound effects at all.

LOGISTICS: MATERIALS: ANIMATICS

Image
An animatic is "a preliminary version of a film, produced by shooting successive  sections of a storyboard and adding a soundtrack".  For films and any other motion picture the filmmaker will sit down and watch an aninmatic for their project.  When a film is released no one ever really thinks about the animatic that is made during the film making.  If the animatic isn't how a client wants it then the whole film could be stopped and not made, this is because the animatic is an insight to the whole film. This is why they are so important during the pre-production stage of any project.  History:  Animatics used to be made by real paper and a rostrum camera. An illustrator  would work on the set and draw up everything needed for the animatic. To make everything have the illusion  of moving, people would have to cut up the drawings, however the shapes were very simple.  Workers would get skill from using cameras, editing and an...

LOGISTICS: MATERIALS: CLEARANCES

Image
Clearances in materials means the process you go through to get permission, you need permission for; any sets used, the cast starring in your film, music if it is not copyright free, stock film, art posters, any brands mentioned or seen in the film, books, broadcasts, computer programs (if any has been used), dramatic works, and photographs.  Clearances need to be done when making a film so you do not get legally in trouble, your trademark isn't taken down and you have all the insurance needed when making your film.  For a review, you need to go to the attorney. When doing this you need to provide the script. When providing the script, you need to make sure everything is written clearly and in detail, the script needs to include, characters, places, events and nothing you believe is important in the storyline.    The attorney will then look at your script and decide what type of clearances you need when making your film.  The types of clearances a...

FINANCE: REQUIREMENTS OF FINANCE: TALENT

Image
The talent in a film is who stars in it. When you have a short film budget like £3000 over a big Hollywood film budget like £63000000 then you might not always see actors that you know. For a £3000 budget on the talent you could hire out 5 actors. For one male actor you would have to pay him £10 per hour. For another male actor you would have to pay him £10 per hour. Lastly for another male actor you would have to pay him £10 per hour. For one female actor you would have to pay her £15 per hour. For another female actor you would have to pay her £25 per hour. If they each work for 8 hours a day then in total it would cost you £560 per day. Therefore a week of filming would cost you £2800. If your budget has £3000 on each department then you could hire them all but if you wanted to save money on your production then you could use your friends or just have 2-3 experienced actors. For a £63000000 budget you could easily hire out 5 actors and have money left over. For one m...
