  • L'actualite Du Montage
    A new report: News from the Editing World Today: Three head editors, Marguerite Renoir, Suzanne de Troye and Marinette Cadix, talk to us about their jobs. To start the series of reports on the profession of the editor in French film, the Technicien du Film has scored a trifecta. At the restaurant of the Billancourt studios, our journalist Jean Fléchet has met three of the most representative head editors of French cinema: Marguerite Renoir, Suzanne de Troye 1 and Marinette Cadix. Suzanne de Troye: We’ve been friends for a long time, we’ve known each other since we started working. Jean Fléchet: How did the three of you come to work in film? Marguerite Renoir: By chance, as far as I’m concerned, or rather, due to my bad disposition2. I worked at Pathé as a colorist trainee. At the time, we were doing color films by applying garishly colored dyes3 straight onto the negatives. In fact, one day I was coloring a Passion of Christ when a storm broke out, and the resulting humidity made my dyes bleed on my film-strip. My department head came along and gave me a nasty talking-to. “Ma’am,” I answered, “instead of yelling at me, you’d better explain why the storm made the colors run.” This act of impertinence was not well received, and I was fired on the spot. I went to speak with the director. He agreed that I was innocent but did not want to contradict my department head, so I was transferred to editing. That was in 1921.

  • Film Crew Film Crew
    FILM CREW FILM CREW The Film Crew … a typical crew engaged in a feature production. PRE-PRODUCTION During a feature production, a number of key people are brought into the project. The key roles and responsibilities include the following. The creative stage of pre-production begins with the Screenwriter. A Screenwriter creates a screenplay (a written version of a movie before it is filmed) either based on previously written material, such as a book or a play, or as an original work. A Screenwriter may write a screenplay on speculation, then try to sell it, or the Screenwriter may be hired by a Producer or studio to write a screenplay to given specifications. Screenplays are often rewritten, and it’s not uncommon for more than one Screenwriter to work on a script. A Producer is given control over the entire production of a motion picture and is ultimately held responsible for the success or failure of the motion picture project; this person is involved with the project from start to finish. The Producer's task is to organize and guide the project into a successful motion picture. The Producer would be the person who accepts the Academy Award for best picture, should the movie win one. The Producer organizes the development of the film, and is thus quite active in the pre-production phase. Once production (filming) begins, generally the role of the Producer is to supervise and give suggestions—suggestions that must be taken seriously by those creating the film. However, some Producers play a key role throughout the entire production process.

  • Production Job Descriptions
    New Mexico State Film Office / 2017 Industry Job Descriptions ABOVE-THE-LINE and BELOW-THE-LINE “Above-the-line” (ATL) is an industry term derived from where the money is budgeted for Writers, Directors, Producers and Principal Talent. This term refers to job positions that are associated with the creative and/or financial control of a film or multimedia project, not the technical aspects. “Below-the- line” (BTL) is an industry term associated with the “fixed” costs. Examples include studio fees, equipment rental, travel costs and crew rates. Therefore, BTL crew refers to the technical crew hired for the length of the production, often paid hourly or weekly for that time period. These individuals do not have primary creative or financial control of the project, nor do they receive residuals. BTL DEPARTMENT HIERARCHY Starting at the top, the Director hires the Production Designer and the Director of Photography (DP) while the Producer hires the Line Producer and/or Unit Production Manger (UPM). The Production Designer, DP and the Line Producer/UPM then go about hiring their Department Heads, Supervisors and Keys. The Key is considered the top-ranked technical, BTL position in a department. In some departments, the Key is referred to as a Coordinator; in locations, it is the Manager and in camera, it is the Operator. The Key hires the “Best Boy” (or a Foreman) who is second-in-command, acts as an operations manager and hires the rest of the crew in their department. There is only one person hired in the Key and Best position in each department in a regional location (such a New Mexico).

  • Careers in Film Production Ilms Are More Than Entertainment
    From script to screen: Careers in film production ilms are more than entertainment. They inspire, inform, and may even F become part of our culture. And for many people, films also offer jobs and a career path. The glamour of Hollywood and the cre- ativity of filmmaking attract droves of people looking to work on the next big blockbuster— and for good reason. According to the Motion Picture Association of America, box office revenues in the United States and Canada reached $10.8 billion in 2012, a 6-percent increase from 2011. And thanks to advances in technology, it’s never been easier, faster, or more affordable for people to make their own films. But working in this industry is not always as glamorous as it seems.
