 Financing Research: Hi guys, welcome back to my blog. Toda y we were told to do some research about financing. Financing is important in the filmmaking industry because the production team needs funding to pay for every step of the filmmaking process. Although it is a difficult task it is achievable to find financing. Most films are financed through a combination of investors, tax credits, grants, and other sources.  These are the questions we're asked to answer: How would a filmmaker convince a production company that their film is worth financing? Consider the business side of the industry. How would you "sell" your film and make back everyone's money? These are some good questions so let's answer them.

Because our film and that film have a few similarities I think that Tower Hills would b...

Importance: Scripting is very important in this process because that is when you think of all your shots and describe the little details within them. This is when you can really start visualizing everything that will be happening in your opening scene such as the transitions, dialogue, etc. Since scripting is so detailed it allows filmmakers to film quickly because everything they want is right there. Examples: This is an example of a horror/thriller movie script called 10 Things I Hate About You.  This is the link to find it in case you are interested:  https://www.dailyscript.com/scripts/10Things.html   ScreenShots Of 10 Things I Hate About You: Here is another part of it with more dialogue This is another example of a horror/thriller called Anatomy of a Murderer.
