Film Making
Film production phases
Film production is the process of making a film starting from the story or idea through scriptwriting, shooting to the distribution of the movie to the audience. There are four main phases involved in film making.
Development phase
In the development phase, the film is written from the story (Cones, p. 195). The story may come from a book, a play, another film or an original idea developed by the film producer. During the development of the film, the film producer works in corroboration with the film writers to develop the film message and a theme of the message. They then prepare a synopsis of the film.

It is aimed at making the film ready to be distributed to the viewers (Barbara and Sphor, p. 1-3). In this phase, the production scripts and items are assembled to make a complete movie. According to Barbara and Sphor (2002), activities involved in the post-production phase include film processing and printing. Moreover, the pictures and the sound are synchronized in the post-production phase, and an assemblage created. After the movie has been completed, it is then ready to be distributed to the viewers.
Narrative films
According to Pramaggiore and Wallis (p. 8), narrative films produce comedy or tragedy. Therefore, in narrative films, viewers expect the stories of human actors that produce comedy or tragedy due to circumstances. According to Pramaggiore and Wallis (p. 8), viewers of narrative films would expect to see stories about people who in the attempt to achieve certain objectives or goals undergo through various obstacles on their way.
Mise-en-scene
This is a term used in film production and that is concerned with the way the story is told in a film (Gibbs, p. 5-10). As such it refers to all the elements of visual styles used in the film. Mise-en-scene refers to all components of the film composition including the film composition, film framing, camera and character movement, film lighting as well as the sound used in the film composition.
