Film Making
Film Making or Film Production is all about developing a story in action for entertainment, awareness, or educational purposes which is streamed through cinema or television. Filmmakers perform various tasks and have several roles like coming up with new ideas, script-writing, the casting of Actors/Actresses, direction, production, editing, screenplay, and so on. Film making is a combined effort of all the departments, while the audience only gets to see the actors and actresses on the screen but thousands of people work behind the scenes for successful completion of a film. A Filmmaker can also be termed as Director. However, all the Directors are not filmmakers.
