Greetings dear all! I am happy to be back on this space again. Happy new year to us and I wish everyone in here an amazing 2022. Today, I bring to us the reasons why we should appreciate the works of filmmakers, directors, producers etc
To begin, the process of film making isn't an easy one that anyone who's into it now would ever desire/ consider to get into if he/she were given a second chance because of the stress attributed to it. The stages of film production ranges from script development, budgeting, production, post-production, marketing, and distribution; usually categorized into pre-production, production, and post-production stages. All these seven stages demands a lot of work and finance from the production team.
While on set for my very first time to shoot a 20 minutes fiction film, I thought everything would be quit easy and fast and that we would finish the job in a single day. I was shocked that the production part alone took us more than 7 days. I almost lost control of myself because of the stress I encountered. The director, camera operators and actors all suffered from severe headache because of the condition under which we were shooting the movie. Imagine if a 20 minutes film could take us that long, how much time does films like Money Heist, Black Panther, Terminator and many others take? Filmmakers during shooting travels for long distances or to different countries just to shoot a particular script so that it reflects the information there are trying to pass out.
Actors on the other hand face great challenges while on set as they have to act a single script for several times before it's been validated. 50 cent for instance lost 50+ pounds in 2010 just to play a movie role. The rapper, who plays a football player with cancer in the upcoming film “Things Fall Apart,” dropped from 214 pounds to 160 in nine weeks after liquid dieting and running on a treadmill three hours a day.
It is very bad if our actors, directors, producers script writers goes through all these stress just to ensure we are all entertained, but we keep on disregarding their efforts by not supporting or appreciating their work.
