All about Filmmaking
Making a film involves many steps. It starts with a script, which describes the story and dialogue. A storyboard sketches each shot, and then actors, a camera crew, lighting and sound work together to film the scenes.
After filming, editors cut the best shots together, add music and special effects, and adjust colours and sound. Directors guide the story and performances throughout, while producers manage the budget and schedule.
