How to Easily Create Your Own Film

Lately, many are protesting the Indonesian soap opera producers are considered to have lost their creative power that ultimately produced the film adaptation of outsiders. But, really, how the heck to make that movie? This paper is not a defense, nor a new blasphemy. Just wanted to show ... Well you know, how to make a movie. Basically, make the film can be divided into 14 stages. What are they?

A. IDE
Ideally, this IDE has to be unique and original. But, decided to adapt a work of others that also includes an IDE you know ... To search for IDE, many ways you can do. Continuous observation, a trip to a strange place and have not been visited by man, perched on the tamarind tree by the roadside, watching the passing vehicles, or even sit back in a food court in a plaza or mall. Daydreaming alone in the room (or in the grave) can also bring in the idea, really ...

2. Target
After getting the IDE, specify the target of the film to be made. Private collection? High school students? Community S & M? The Otaku? The Blogger? Who will watch the movie later? It should also be clearly defined at the beginning. Not to happen, the film aimed at school children but because it had not been clear, finally met a scene of bloody fighting style of his 300 films Zack Snyder.

3. Purpose
IDE and target has been set. Must be ensured that the next is the purpose of making the film. Want to arouse nationalism as Naga Bonar? Wanted to teach the importance of family? Want to deliver the final message before jamming a bomb or anti-war message in Platoon? Want to get the personal satisfaction of making movies like Passion of the Christ? Or teach about the price of a pride in the Titanic? What & Why?

4. The subject matter
Next is the subject up. What is your message? Expression of love? Just a message warned of the dangers of smoking?

5. Synopsis
Synopsis is a summary that describes the story in outline. Such initial idea so loh. From this synopsis, will be developed into a more detailed story.



6. Treatment
This stage is the depiction of scenes that would later appear in the story. Not detailed. Examples of such treatment is ...
There are a smoker who was smoking so casually. Then all of a sudden he was coughing violently and rather long. Before leaving, the man carelessly discard cigarette. Suddenly the fire ...

7. Manuscript
The manuscript is a detailed form of the story. Equipped with a variety of explanations that support the story (setting environment, background music, expressions, all of them ...). Examples of text, like this ...
FS. Ali pedaled rickshaws. Ais sat there, not caring that Ali looked back and forth.
Ali: Dak have to think about is, Ma'am ...
Ais: (shocked) Heh? What, Bang!
But it must also be accompanied by a script whose name dialog. Do not njelaskan conversation here and there but a zero (except for silent films, but because we are not bicarain silent film, we do not discuss here). There are so many types of dialogue, but for sure, good dialogue is a dialogue that could explain / describe the mood, circumstances, and situations experienced by the characters, the scene is happening in a scene. There is a very simple dialog, the dialog until the very deep to us as if to feel what is perceived by the players the film is concerned, there is not even a little silly dialogue and fool the audience was impressed. Many kinds. Depending we want to wear what.
Below is an example dialogue snippet of dialogue in the film Batman Begins, where most of the dialogue are scattered throughout the entire duration of the film is strong on average and in my opinion this is one film with heavy but easy to digest language, has many meanings in each scene scenes, plot twist, and jumping back and forth scene, but we, the audience, I am sure I can accept it or even come late storytelling swept away in it. The pieces of the dialogue is sbagai brikut:
(A scene in an elevator at the bottom of the tunnel Batcave, when the flames licking the distant hot up there)
Alfred: why do we fall, Master Wayne?
Bruce Wayne: (silent amazement as he looked at Alfred)
Alfred: (Smiling, she said) So we can learn to bounce back.
Bruce Wayne: Not yet lost the faith to me?
Alfred: (answered with a loud voice and a sense of optimism, with a fixed smile) Never.

8. Assessment
Assessment here, was conducted by an expert on the content (content) or media expert. Studied, is whether the manuscript is in conformity with the original purpose? And things like that ...

9. Prototype Production
The process is divided into three sub-stages, namely pre-production (translation of the script, casting the player, collecting supplies, and making the determination set, determining a good shot, making the story board, drafting the budget, as well as preparation of work relatives), production (shooting images according to the text and improvisation director), full-production (editing point is).

10. Trial
The test is done by turning the prototype in the presence of a small group of people. If the producers of the movie, usually do this in front of the critics. The aim is to study the response of the prospective audience.

11. Revision
After no response, then made changes where necessary. Because it is, many films that have deleted scenes. That caused the process of testing and revision.

12. Preview
Preview is a premiere, in the presence of content experts, media experts, director, producer, screenwriter, editor, and all the crew involved in the production. The purpose of this preview is to make sure if everything goes smoothly as planned or there is a deviation. It could be said, that this preview is the final check before a movie is officially released.

13. Preparation of accompanying material
Accompanying material that is advertising poster, trailer, teaser, read the manual (if the movie made is a tutorial movie), and others that may be needed to succeed in this movie.

14. Multiplication
The last step is to archive and duplication for distribution by Joni (Joni's Promise-Film-remember, but this occurred in ancient times, the digital movie format still exist in wishful thinking).
