“The screenplay is bad”, “the actor’s performance was horrible”, “the background score was not convincing”. These are some of the words I used in the past while watching movies, presuming I would do a better job. When the short-filmmaking bug bit me, I thought, how hard could that be? In retrospect, I couldn’t have been more wrong. Sure, I was doing fine for a while, even produced several documentary projects in record time that were acclaimed and supported by critics. And that was that, at least for the time being.

When John started making films, I pitched in, playing a small role here and there, which was rather fun at the time and even ground-breaking, as I developed a passion for films that later prompted me to study film history. But in the course of my studies, I learned filmmaking was as complex as any technologically sophisticated project and in many cases more challenging. Especially the period after the last scene has been shot that involves editing, computer-generated imagery, marketing etc. Not to mention the importance of how it is received by the public, which is key to its success or demise.

My film was based on a good story and made with a great team who were ready to go that extra mile. This network you have is an important asset in filmmaking, yet I found my work didn’t succeed to the extent I was hoping it would, even if it did well at the box office. So I thought about it and realised that filmmaking is not as much about the art, or any other one thing, as it is about timing and lots of different factors falling in place. Of course, you can never be sure what will excite your audience, so it’s best to stay true to yourself, whatever the outcome.

I believe that project management experience can help you make your movie better. Nowadays, that means a faster, cheaper and fresher film. But, ultimately, the fate of the film will be decided by the filmmaker’s acquired ability to use creative imagery and sound, building a relationship between the camera, the scenery and the actors, in short, by the aesthetics of it all. As a critic, I have profound respect for filmmakers and all professionals that help a film come to life. It seems to be the hardest way of earning one’s livelihood and a well-deserved one, even if the rewards are considerable.

When it comes to film production, you’ve got five key phases: development, pre-production, production, post-production and distribution. Each stage is centred around a different purpose, with each one leading nicely onto the next. Many films inexplicably fall through by the time they are finished and don’t meet the filmmaker’s expectations. That’s why it’s so important to make sure the director has a fully rounded vision of what their message as an author is going to be. Then you can think about what the film process entails and what you need to make it happen.

Persistent excitement creates pressure, and pressure creates good films. And the fire burns strong. It’s also natural to feel apprehensive at the start – you’ve got high expectations. But even if you’ve got tons of creative ideas and you can’t wait to see your vision come to life on-screen, first you’ve got a journey you need to plan, which involves pinpointing shooting locations for each scene, securing permits, assembling a trustworthy and talented crew, and putting a solid budget in place. Take the time for this and you can expect a more streamlined process in post-production and a rewarding end result.
