This blog post will be focused on the aspect and importance of scheduling for Directors and Actors/Actresses. http://www.macmillandictionaryblog.com/schedule When making a film, it is important to have a schedule/plan. Having set dates on when one thing should be done being filmed, and when this actor will or will not be needed, and lastly, when a film will be finished and in theatres. Filming can be confusing and  overwhelming- but there is a procedure which builds on each other to help make the shooting schedule more efficient. The director starts with scene chronology- putting everything in chronological order, and then using a chronological schedule as a reference. After that, the director does filming locations, scouts out places and then finds the limit to the number of changes the film will be needing. The third step is looking at how the workload will be.

 Today I will be focused on Screenwriting and Agents. Screenwriting: Screenwriting 101: 7 Basic Steps to Writing a Screenplay | Pond5 Screenwriting is an art and craft of scripts that were/are written for feature films, television productions, or video games. It is very difficult to get into screenwriting, especially if you, as the writer, are trying to aim for a full-length Hollywood feature. The odds of reaching that goal, again, especially if it is your first or second screenplay, you are pretty much out of luck. For screenwriters, there can be big money that is made out of it. They can make as little as $25,000 to $30,ooo a year, by doing very small jobs. But, if they are in an in-demand screenwriting willing to do rewrites, they can make millions of dollars a year.

It is where an actor/actress can't do a needed scene, and so the casting crew bring in people who look almost exactly like the actors/actresses. You normally don't see the face, just the back, and if you do see the face, it's most likely covered by hair or a hat. It's important that the stars of a show or movie don't get hurt, because then it would put off productions and the crew, mainly director and Producers, would lose a lot of money. So they decide to hire people who are able to do the stunts and know what they are doing, without worrying as much of people getting hurt.  They don't get paid nearly as much as the actors do, but for only being in a few scenes, it is quite a lot.  Understudies:  Understudies are also very important when it comes to productions, whether it is films or Stage shows.
