Film Production Management

Film Production Management, 9780240806952 (0240806956), Focal Press, 2005

Five years have passed since the second edition of this book was published.
Technological changes have been dramatic since then, most notably the arrival
of digital filmmaking. There is hardly a motion picture nowadays that does
not use computer generated or altered images. Whole features have been shot
not on film but on High Definition HD Video—whole features have been shot
without real live actors or sets—yet they look convincingly realistic.

Well-established directors and producers such as George Lucas have been
at the forefront for many years in advancing the medium, and rely completely
on digital artistry—and movies such as the Lord of the Rings trilogy are virtually
impossible but for the wizardry of computer generated special effects. The
entertainment industry is in the midst of a technological revolution that
changes the way theatrical motion pictures are produced and—more seriously
and with yet unknown consequences—the way motion pictures will be distributed
throughout the world.

Nevertheless, the basic standards and procedures of how filmmaking is
being organized, how locations are chosen, how actors are made ready for
shooting, those and most other related procedures for getting the film in the
can—or getting the video digitalized—remain the same.
