Movie magic We have all gone to the movies and are taken away by a movie experience, some movies can even be life changing. The whole experience of it boggles our mind, some times we want that movie to be our life or get the oppertunity to view life in a different prospect because of a certain film. Movies can take us through an emotional rollercoaster. It not a coincidence that when a car race movie come out, like “Fast and the Furious” speeding tickets go up. People get drawn into to movies so much that one may forget that life isn’t a movie. There are so many aspects to put a film together, and with the right direct, actors and story, there could be some serious movie magic created. Movies are a way of art, but one does not always see the art in a movie but understanding to jobs of each person, one can have a better understand the beauty of film. There are three aspects that I will be covering in the process of making a film, witch is the screenwriter, director and the actor. Each one of these plays a huge roll in bringing the magic to a movie. The screenwriter is the writer of the script of a film. They create the dialogue, the characters and the story line of a movie script. The screenwriter is often the most essential person in film production because no movie can start without some form of a script. Like television writers, screenwriters often specialize in a particular genre. Comedy writers write comedy, drama writers write drama, science fiction writers write sci-fi and so on and so on. Screenwriters are extremely skillful at weaving together visual essentials within plot and dialogue. It is their work that provides the directors, producers, actors and executives a project to work on in the first place. As a director one must have an excellent imagination. The director sees something that most don’t. His job is to capture the supernatural. There is a
