Making a narrative film, on any scale or in any format, is a multipronged effort. There is, of course, the creative dimension, which involves writing the script, visualizing the shots, working with actors, etc., and then there is the practical dimension of film production, which involves the organization of time and personnel; coordinating the locations, props, and costumes; dealing with equipment rental houses and other vendors; and working with budgets. We call these practical considerations the line producing or production management aspects of a film, and we cannot make a movie without them. However, it is essential to remember that these practical tasks are not divorced from the creative element of making movies. Selecting your crew, casting your actors, finding locations, selecting props, scheduling shooting time, and working within a budget are all tasks that will have an impact on what a filmmaker can achieve creatively and what the audience will see on the screen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
