DOWNLOAD EBOOKA step-by-step blueprint for novice and aspiring filmmakers seeking to learn how to develop a feature film. Examines how to identify and break down shooting sequences in scripts, scout locations, create a production board and shooting schedule, deal with unions, budget a film, and rebound when it all goes wrong. Along the way, readers learn how to economize to get the most value from limited funds and what to look for in a prospective crew. To facilitate an understanding of the concepts, a real-life example of a complete budget and production board for an independent low-budget feature film is provided. Includes list of contacts--film commissions in all 50 states, Canada, Mexico, Australia, and England; payroll companies; and vendors of supplies--along with a directory of unions; also a glossary of industry terms and a list of safety bulletins issued by the Industry Wide Labor/Management Safety Committee.--From publisher description.
