  • The Migration of U.S. Film and Television Production

    The Migration of U.S. Film and Television Production

    PREFACE In the early 1990s, important segments of the U.S. film industry became increasingly concerned about the growing loss of film and television production to foreign shores. The phenomenon of “runaway film production” began as a trickle, but has since become a persistent trend that is affecting thousands of jobs in certain segments of the film and television production industry, such as sound engineers, lighting technicians, assistant directors, unit production managers, supporting actors, costume designers, and set designers. In addition, there may be an even greater number of jobs affected that are connected to film and television production, such as caterers, truck drivers, carpenters, electricians, construction workers, hotel employees, and small businesses that provide services or material goods to productions throughout the United States. Some industry observers fear that the exodus of film production could threaten the viability of important segments of the film production industry in the United States, with potentially devastating effects on local communities in many states. Last year, the Department of Commerce was asked to examine the flight of U.S. television and cinematic film production to foreign shores. In September 2000, Commerce received an additional urgent request from a bipartisan group of Members of Congress to ensure that the final report address the following issues: (1) the impact of runaway production on the “below-the-line” employees throughout the United States, including (but not limited to) caterers,

The motion picture industry employs an estimated 250,000 Californians. However, competition from other states and countries is luring a significant portion of film production away from California. Runaway production is the term that describes those feature film, television and commercial productions that leave California to shoot in other states and countries. Film production is a clean, non-polluting industry, and produces a quick injection of revenue to a local community. When a feature film production goes on a location requiring overnight stays, the cast and crew may remain for two to six weeks, or even longer.

BEST DIRECTOR AWARD SUNDANCE FILM FESTIVAL 2012 PRESS CONTACT: Tilane Jones | AFFRM | 818.995.0050 | [email protected] PRESS QUOTES NEW YORK TIMES January 27, 2012 | "Amazing Child, Typical Grown-Ups" by Manohla Dargis "Further under the radar though far more successful is "Middle of Nowhere," a heartfelt, slow to build, slow to burn drama from Ava DuVernay about a young married woman, Ruby (Emayatzy Corinealdi), keeping body and soul together while her husband, Derek (Omari Hardwick), serves out his sentence in a California prison. Working with the terrific cinematographer Bradford Young, Ms. DuVernay fills her movie with long shots and meticulously framed images of casual beauty that reflect the quietly evolving inner life of her heroine." LOS ANGELES TIMES January 30, 2012 | "Sundance Film Festival: From 'Beasts' to 'Ice,' wonder wins out" by Kenny Turan "…At the other end of the spectrum is "Middle of Nowhere," winner of the U.S. drama directing prize for Ava DuVernay. This is classic filmmaking of a completely different sort…" THE HOLLYWOOD REPORTER January 20, 2012 | Review by John DeFore "Strong performances and a restrained script sell drama about a couple separated by prison walls. Solidly crafted by budding writer-director Ava DuVernay, it should find a warm reception at fests and in a niche theatrical run." LOS ANGELES TIMES January 20, 2012 | "Meaty Roles for Black Actors in MIDDLE OF NOWHERE" "It's a real challenge to find African American characters with depth," Oyelowo said at a post-screening Q&A, "But when I read this, it was just like 'Do the Right Thing,' or 'She's Gotta Have It,' the characters just lept off the page...
  • THE CRAFTS an Introduction

    THE CRAFTS an Introduction

    THE CRAFTS An Introduction In the beginning, there was no book, no precedent, no rules set in stone. Various job jurisdictions evolved over time - not out of a sense of provincial­ ism, but because production crews sought out the best, most efficient delineation of responsibilities in the interest of a smooth-running production. As the film industry developed into a burgeoning new business, the flourishing studios had the resources to hire and retain the finest craftspersons in the world. Born out of this Hollywood Studio System was a tradition of unsurpassed excellence and integrity, of well-honed skills and innate talent, of veteran personnel and eager new workers - the tradition of IATSE Local 44. The varied Craft divisions within this local evolved after much thought, energy, time and debate. And the evolution continues - today the entire entertainment industry is in a state of flux due to the ever changing landscape of how the various studios are structured and do business, as well as to the extraordinary advances of technology. The present is always a product of the past, but these two eras - "then" and "now" - are quite different in a number of compelling ways. Longtime members (some of whom were present when Local 44 received its official IATSE charter in 1939) remember the early days, when working for one studio for a lifetime was the rule, not the exception. The studios kept their core ranks continually employed; if one wasn't working on a film or television project, one was working on lot improvements. IA members even played important roles in constructing studio amusement park "spinoffs," such as Disneyland and the Universal Studios Tour.

    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.

    The Essential Reference Guide for Filmmakers

    THE ESSENTIAL REFERENCE GUIDE FOR FILMMAKERS IDEAS AND TECHNOLOGY IDEAS AND TECHNOLOGY AN INTRODUCTION TO THE ESSENTIAL REFERENCE GUIDE FOR FILMMAKERS Good films—those that e1ectively communicate the desired message—are the result of an almost magical blend of ideas and technological ingredients. And with an understanding of the tools and techniques available to the filmmaker, you can truly realize your vision. The “idea” ingredient is well documented, for beginner and professional alike. Books covering virtually all aspects of the aesthetics and mechanics of filmmaking abound—how to choose an appropriate film style, the importance of sound, how to write an e1ective film script, the basic elements of visual continuity, etc. Although equally important, becoming fluent with the technological aspects of filmmaking can be intimidating. With that in mind, we have produced this book, The Essential Reference Guide for Filmmakers. In it you will find technical information—about light meters, cameras, light, film selection, postproduction, and workflows—in an easy-to-read- and-apply format. Ours is a business that’s more than 100 years old, and from the beginning, Kodak has recognized that cinema is a form of artistic expression. Today’s cinematographers have at their disposal a variety of tools to assist them in manipulating and fine-tuning their images. And with all the changes taking place in film, digital, and hybrid technologies, you are involved with the entertainment industry at one of its most dynamic times. As you enter the exciting world of cinematography, remember that Kodak is an absolute treasure trove of information, and we are here to assist you in your journey.
