It is a highly respected field in other countries such as the U.S. But in countries like India – particularly the South region , this field is not respected as outside. People in the South have a notion that Filmmaking is a lazy route to success. Maybe , it gives money & fame in a shorter period when compared to other fields, but unlike other fields, if you don’t maintain your standard after success , your fame will fade away in the course of time. But the fame you get in other fields won’t fade away just in a course of time. It would be a long lasting one. And my friends, its not a lazy route to success .

A brilliant Iit graduate who is a gold medallist in IT/Molecular Sciences , might not even be able to write a single line of an imaginative story . That doesn’t mean he is not brilliant . He might lack creativity. But the same task of writing a good imaginative story might be completed by a college dropout, which doesn’t mean that since he is incapable of writing a story since he is a college dropout. He might not be brilliant in studies , but that doesn’t mean he is not creative. People choose to come to filmmaking even for a pleasure or interest. But they might be lacking in their creativity, without which he/she cannot survive in this field . The best advice I can give is —–> ” 6/10 people in this world love cinemas. That doesn’t mean those 6 can become great directors or filmmakers. Not even 1/10 people in the world become directors. Some 1/1000000 people resort to filmmaking , who are able identify their creative talents & their undying interest in filmmaking . So please do not dream of coming to films just because to enjoy watching them & you too desire to date hotties or give interviews. Its not a fantasy land , everyone think.

Filmmaking consists of five main stages:

* Development. The script is written and drafted into a workable blueprint for a film.

* Pre-production. Preparations are made for the shoot, in which cast and crew are hired, locations selected, and sets are built.

* Production. The raw elements for the finished film are recorded.

* Post-production. The film is edited, sound effects, music & any computer effects are added, & the film is completed.

* Sales and distribution. The film is picked up by a distributor and reaches its audience.
