Referring to the profession on the whole production process, here are some explanations about the production process in film production management.
1. Pre Production and Development
Pre-production is a preparatory stage before the activity begins filming. This process will determine the smoothness of filmed later. Therefore this process must be run with the best. There are several pre-production work on this, among which:
a. Election Style
Selection of film style that will be created should match the skill ability that we have. It should also be adjusted with the available budget. If not, then the outcome of the film that we make will not be maximal, maybe even a total failure. As for some of the style that we often see is:
1) Full animation (relying on the skill in the field of animation)
2) Full Cinematografi (relying on the skill in the field of cinematography)
3) The combination of both.
b. Selection of Theme and Story Idea
The theme is a visual outline that we will create. The selection done brainstorming themes. For example, the theme is nature, gothic, humor, and others. After getting the theme, then we make details in the form of synopsis. Many saw the reference is a very good thing. For some of us, reference is sometimes made us want to make something out of the reach of our skills. This sometimes makes the quality is the responsibility or ugly at all. The selection of ideas and references are consistent with our skills for the challenges remain. Do not get too caught up with the rules in making the film. In my experience, this could make a movie is not the same story with the rules of an other video.
In search of an idea for the synopsis, should take into account these important things:
1. Adjustments budget
2. Feel
3. Skill
4. See reference
5. and existing equipment
After the synopsis so, then made scripts, story boards, script director. According to the story board experience, although it is quite difficult to make but quite useful, just do not get caught up in this process, because sometimes making too time-consuming and less accurate when shooting conditions.
Director of the script is important enough for the director made to ease the implementation of the shooting. Director of the script is also very helpful in time efficiency and accuracy in visualizing the script. As for other formats in pre-prepare the design of this production are:
a. The idea and theme of the story
b. Synopsis
c. Outline
d. Scenario
e. Analysis of scenarios:
1. Message Analysis
2. Analysis of character
3. Analysis settings
4. Property Analysis
5. Wardrobe analysis
f. Breakdown & Sub breakdown
g. Hunting Plan
h. Hunting
i. Hunting Report (player, property, wardrobe, location, transportation, logistics, accommodation)
j. Director shot
k. Floor plan
l. Storyboard
m. Design process & schedule
n. Design budget
o. The concept of directing, art, camera, sound, editing
p. Estimated budget including art and camera into the design budget
q. List properties and wardrobe are included in hunting report
r. Crew list
c. Production Preparation
After the above process is running and completed, the next process is as follows:
- Formation of work teams
- Selection of talent and extract (by audition)
- Provision of art properties, costume etc.
- Search for the location and licensing
- Provision of filming equipment
The processes mentioned above are very important for smooth shooting. When one of the neglected, then the filming activity will be disrupted. Although we are working with a low budget but the above process must keep running. Cost savings usually be done in various ways, including by minimizing the number of crew (still no maximum limit). Or by using the facilities for free.
This stage is where most of the team work to work. A director, producer or line producer is required reliability to overcome the crew in each of these stages. Some important factors to consider are:
a. Field Management
Field management includes several things:
• Management of the location (licensing, security, safety)
• Talent coordination (coordinating costumes, makeup, etc.)
• Time management (coordination of consumption, speed of work, provision of equipment)
• Crew coordination (coordination of the crew)
Attitude work is very important. Patience, understanding and cooperation is the attitude it takes to achieve success. Pray before work and briefing before the start of a good thing to unite the spirit, vision and desired attitude. Do not ever lose emotional control at the time of filming. Moreover, all working with limited time.
b. Shooting Activities
This stage is the stage where the mastery director, DOP, and the crew is crucial. The image quality is always our destination. Therefore, the mastery of the camera and lightning very important. To achieve maximum results with the tools we use, there are some things we need to know.
1. Outdoor Shooting
Suppress normal outdoor shooting the budget, but must be careful to do it because it depends from the weather during filming done. Some who have to be prepared when shooting outdoors are:
a. sunlight (hard, soft)
b. reflector (silver, gold)
c. artificial rain
d. camera settings (Irish, speed, white balance, focus)
e. crowd control (working with extras)
2. Indoor Shooting
Controlled indoor shooting faster than the outdoor shooting, but the required equipment is quite complete. Among others:
a. use simple lighting
b. use of filters
c. makeup
d. election back ground
e. monitor
3. Visual effects
Some tricks are easy to do to make video look more attractive, among others:
a. reserve motion
b. fast motion (normal lipsync)
c. slow motion (normal lipsync)
d. crhoma key (blue screen)
A few other things at the time of production also need to note are:
• food / logistics
• equipment rental
• Movies
• Transportation
• accommodation
• telecommunications
• documentation
• medical
Post-Production
This stage is the stage of final settlement of all shooting activities that have been implemented previously. Error on time shooting some may be resolved at this point.

Surgical Film (The Making Of)
Is a discussion about the making of the film during the pre to post.
In a previous post (part I), has described the scene diagrams and standards in the writing of the manuscript. Write a story seems simple but not easy. Although we are free here in exploring the imagination, but we must consider certain standards for the resulting story could be more attractive, weight and quality.
In practice, we do not close the possibility of a stalemate, may often arise the question of how to do next?
Therefore, in preparing the story is divided into 3 rounds as described in previous posts. Each round must explain the situation which later serves as a gateway to the next round. Thus, in each round there should be targets for a story that is built not out of the theme and tempo that is created does not seem so fast.
Below, I give examples of goals in each half. Check out all right 
TARGET Act I
1. Create an interesting premise, should have a fresh strength.
2. Make sure the audience sided with the main character and supporting characters. And also vice versa, that is the main character hated enemy. Position your self as a weaver of dreams.
3. Do not be too many new characters introduced in the tempo is too fast.
4. There should be one thing that is very important for the stake, creating a huge risk.
5. Fishing audience with the main problems in your stories.
6. Enter events that stimulate the audience emotion.
7. Clarify purpose of the main character, and also explain what causes the main character wanted to achieve its objectives.
8. Look for an interesting moment to deflect the story into new directions that change the lives of main characters and deliver audiences into round 2.
9. Genre story should be clear, every event must be in accordance with the genre that carried. As reproduce comedy funny scenes in the story. Do not let a lot of comedy scenes of death in the story, unless the death was funny or cute.
Act II TARGET
1. Build your story again, take the risk of the first half and improved. Conflicts are created must grow stronger and sharper.
2. Invert the expectations, the main character forced to take greater risks.
3. Give a barrier, a higher difficulty and challenge that prevents the main character in pursuit of its objectives.
4. Do not be boring, do not talk too much. Use concise sentences meaningful, according to the depth of soul of the main character.
5. The main problem at this stage should reflect something terrible.
6. Keep always feel full of danger, threats and tensions.
7. Do not write dialogue to excess.
8. The main character must find themselves in a worse situation at the end of this round. He must exist in the critical period.
9. Protagonist and antagonist that you create must have a clear agenda, which has a large deviation or amplitude.
TARGET Round III
1. This round should feel like an insistence that flow so fast towards the end of the story lest something goes wrong.
2. Make the greatest moments in your story as a point of climax, you have to know the climax before writing the script, written from the end and go back to the beginning.
3. You must have the awareness and settlement. The parts that do not have a purpose, should be discarded.
4. Settlement is clear is the result of a positive decision on the crisis facing and the decision gives strength to the main character to achieve success at the climax of the story.
5. Make sure you clearly define the rules of the world you are building, scenes from beginning to end must be consistent.
6. Keep always feel full of danger, threats and tensions.
That the goals of each chapter the story is built. Hopefully useful.
Movie world is endless. Fields like this are always promising prospects. That is why so many outstanding films with different market segmentation.
A film can not be separated from his movie script or in a language called Script or Screenplay. The manuscript itself can be removed from the real story (in the form of history, social life or something like that), there are lifted from the comics, novels, games, etc.. Making the script is usually done during the pre production of a movie. Before becoming a script, a story must be created first by a person or a group called the Creator, then made grooves and integrator elements of the story, and then Scriptwritter duty to write and record the script for his films, both animated and live action.
A script consists of several parts, the Title Page, Scene Heading, Action, Dialogue, parenthetical and Transition.
1. Title Page, is the title that will be the first guidelines for a producer to assess whether the manuscript is a professional maker or just an amateur.
2. Scene Heading, is a clue the beginning of a manuscript. The word used is “EXT. -” If the story is outside the room. And “INT. -” If the story were inside the room. Then followed the name of a place that must be written in capital.
3. Action, usually written 2 lines below the Scene Heading. Action is the picture that tells anything that will be seen in the movie and always in the situation now (Present Time). When introducing a character, that character should be written in capital.
4. Dialogue, represents everything that is spoken by a character or characters. Dialogue is characterized by the name of the speaker itself.
5. Parenthetical, is a description that explains everything that is done by a character or characters.
6. Transition, a short description to explain that the story moves from scene to another scene. Among them are, CUT TO: Dissolve TO; INTERCUT or INTERCUT WITH BETWEEN. While at the end of the story usually FADE OUT; IRIS OUT, etc..
A good script, will affect the film. Many examples, one of which is Kung Fu Panda is the toughest rival of Wall-E in the race for best animated film of 2009. There is also the desire of The Dark Knight beat Titanic’s record that has not been solved.
However, when we develop the story, we sometimes difficult to get an idea. Well, that story developed more easily, not rambling and disconnected, it should be made first before writing the script Scene Diagram
Today’s digital era gives you easy, fun making movies is no longer owned by a handful of people. Because of the growing film as the rapid growth of digital technology. Not to mention, minus septum in movie marketing. All people are free to publish the works of film, among others, through a number of suppliers of video sites like Multiply and Live Leak. You tube and much more.

Who is not familiar with indie film festivals in the country call it in between LA Lights Indie Movie is the largest independent film community event in Indonesia. Event ideas Garin Nugroho is one of the brave indie film events and consistently provide the budget to the new faces to finance production of their first short film production, even if they do not have a film background whatsoever.
LA Lights Indie Movie is indeed a place to recruit talent from the film maker of the most fundamental aspect, ie, patterns of thought and creativity of making stories. In this context LA Lights Indie Movie is expected to open the door of opportunity for the seeds of a fresh new filmmaker.
LA Lights Indie Movie which is the result of cooperation between the LA event and SET Film Workshop Lights that begins with the program LA Lights Short Story Competition, described Fira (staff promotion LA Lights Indie Movie) afternoon in Movie Trailer (17 / 1) with the theme ‘Eksisitensi Indie Film Festival and Contributions. ” Festival actually like this in the beginning “The digital age allows us to work on a film project with a cheap and easy,” said Fira citing by Garin Nugroho the festival.
Furthermore, Indie Movie Festival is one event to develop appreciation of the work of young film. Film festival, young energy is incredible. News of violence was too much, but the news does not show creativity. Such regions develop extraordinary creativity of young children, when yes there is a short film workshops from the LA Lights Indie Movie in Palembang? Ask Diki line through sms, blushed as he said to the palembang Fira, generally in the Sumatran is, yes we have a plan in 2010 was just a workshop but not for the festival, because we are more consent to the festival is still in big cities first. Close Fira.
While the festival is no less cool and unique in the homeland “Hellofest” also describes the role of an indie film festival. In represented by “Aditya” its president Hellofest, adit said greeting familiar indie spirit developed among the community of film enthusiasts. The spirit that created the peculiarity among the young creators of the film, which is a spirit of independence without bond pragmatic and capital market constraints. Especially us from Hellofest which refers to the short film.
While in this Hellofest asked what kind of festival?

Get all the news information from the actor-actress and the latest movies, as well as interactive chat with Indonesia’s top film maker in the Movie Trailer 17-19.00 hours per week “continues glory film Indonesia.
Fainting at first slowly but surely, the Indonesian film industry conditions between the early to mid 90′s. What is meant here are the works of film produced by not carelessly. Based on research, Indonesian films never die. A number of Indonesian films are still produced in times of crisis, although low flavor.
On the other hand, television became an alternative media that accommodate a number of things in the movie. Electronic cinema or so-called soap opera became one of the mainstay of television programs. Of course, the TV soap opera when it is not as we look at now. Dedication of the creator soap operas at that time not much different from the dedication of the work on film. Patterns of work and idealism in the film is still used even though the medium is now a television and not the wide screen. These make some soap opera who were born on average have a quality not inferior to movies. One of them is a soap opera and Hanan Sayed who received awards at the Asia Pacific Television Festival (now reproduced and directed by Hanung Bramantyo). Trans media then becomes an unstoppable wave so that the film loses practical exploration, in addition to raw material celluloid the higher the price.
Mid 90′s, a number of audiences Jakarta Arts Institute to try to make some breakthroughs and experiments to come out of the problems of the film at that time. Garin Nugroho, Mira Lesmana and Riri Riza are the names that try to wake sleeping Indonesian films. With the tail pattern of the struggle of indie music that moves first in Indonesia, they gamble in conditions that are not clear.
Beginning of 2000 the wind seemed to side with the Indonesian film. Along with the political transition, freedom of expression faucet wide open. The more fighters who participated wrestling movies evoke the Indonesian film underground. However the investors still have to think a hundred times to inject investment considering the movie market is not yet clear. But Shrek adventure movie which earned 1.5 million viewers to prove that it is waiting for the market retailer. Indonesian film slowly rise. Even the investor though still with very carefully began to dare to invest more in the film.
With the rise of Indonesian films, film movements even indie be phenomenal. indie film becomes a momentum for young people as an expression of free space and not wrapped with bureaucratic problems in it. Being a medium that represents the identity of young people; free and vibrant. A shift of discourse from the audience, become makers. Birth of a film community in various parts of Indonesia is one of the parameters that the Indonesian film it is becoming epidemic creative today. Limited funds and facilities that lack adequate knowledge even trying to overcome such a way by a film production.
OFFER
After all the indie film is a space in which the creator offers something that felt new. Different tastes. Indie film is no longer limited to the movement that fought on their own creative and self-reliance. Indie Film became an alternative space for public discourse, of course, need something new.
As an offer or discourse, justify a lot of indie films produced during this time to throw ideas and exploration? A fundamental question that seems to be answered early on.
If we see an indie film production in quantity is very much. From existing records, Indiependent Film Festival, held SCTV in 2002, collected 740 works. This means that indie film festival at year following years of more and more demand. The problem is then whether these films offer something new to the development of Indonesian films? Most, indie films are still in the learning stage to make movies. Of course, this becomes a problem starting huge access demands exploration. We know, creator of indie films usually have a firm stand and do not care industry matters. The price to be paid is the lack of space to display these indie films. It apparently just gave birth to active sympathizers, which in turn supports the festive indie film.
Emergence of alternative cinemas, held among the campuses, institutions and organizations to be evidence that there is a mutually beneficial interaction for these alternative spaces. So very unfortunate if the indie film that is not an offer of exploration produced.
Exploration in the indie film has unlimited levels. Its independent and self-help create what you want delivered creator can freely displayed. Given this, of course, indie films have a very big chance for the opening of intellectual discourse. Freedom of exploration balanced with freedom of interpretation. Freedom of questioning at the same time looking for answers. Will be born new understandings of the concept of a bid, so that in the space later, scored the indie film appreciation, not connoisseurs of entertainment!
The indie film activists from various cities in Indonesia has been widely shown work activity. There was no necessity for the activists was to first explore the techniques of cinematography. In accordance with an independent spirit, do not have any dependence on theories that have been established. But in several events indie film festival, they proved works very admirable in the eyes of the jurors who on average are masters-masters of cinematography Indonesia. Interesting to discuss how the development of indie films in Indonesia, and how these activists have recently become the motor of growth of the national film back.
In academic and film artists, Jakarta Arts Institute (IKJ), an independent film is more known as a short film. As acknowledged Gotot, about
naming the term is indeed diverse. Some people call indie film, independent, and also a short film. Even among film artists in Yogyakarta, this kind of film a movie called ‘puppet’. The term ‘puppet’ is adopted from an understanding of past movies that mention the movie star (artist) as a ‘puppet children’ so that if the type of film is regarded as a kind of discourse, Gotot let the terminology was developed freely. If only pegged to the term indie, so people can later be linked with past films of Indonesia. If the call independent, could be an independent person would question the matter of what. Until now, Gotot which often become short film jury at the national or international level, still use the term short films. Furthermore, Gotot adding that the history of Indonesian short film itself moves beyond the existing film industry. But in reality, short films Indonesia now has a lot of attention and appreciation from abroad. Number of forums such as the overseas film festivals inviting short films to be shown and discussed. Thus, the short film has become the public relations for the Indonesian film industry, replacing the Indonesian mainstream films that are less speaking in international forums.
Seeing flashback movement independent short film or movie can be started from the beginning, namely the seventies when the establishment of the Jakarta Arts Council, Taman Ismail Marzuki (DKJ-TIM) and the first film education in Indonesia. At that time, gaining popularity 8 mm film media that commonly used by communities. DKJ-TEAM make Mini Film Competition who accommodate the emergence of short films made by amateurs, the artists outside the film, and students including students of cinematography Jakarta Arts Education Institute (LPKJ, which later turned into IKJ). Of race and incessant activity DKJ-TEAM held a week of short films and alternative, the first movement led by young people who call themselves “Cinema Eight ‘. This movement tried to bring up the works with the media 8 mm film with a great spirit to challenge the ordinance filmmaking in Indonesia’s film industry was experiencing an extraordinary boom (one year average amounted to 125 titles). Unfortunately only with the spirit of capital, this movement could not survive long. Not many people involved in the movement, but only a handful of film students LPKJ. This movement he was not more than one year, although its members have produced several short films.
In the early eighties, appeared ‘Short Film Forum (FFP) was initiated by many people, especially with the merger of several artists outside the film and also from the film industry as well as young children, UI students, Teachers’ Training College, and who had also IKJ make the film work. This forum is enough to create a national issue and a lot to do film screenings and film appreciation to the Medan, Bali, and Lombok. As a movement, quite sturdy and capable inventory of the works of short films. FPP also formulate short films as an alternative and independent films. This forum is actively engaged in the early eighties until the mid-eighties. Mission FPP is the art of movement through the motion picture film and exploration abroad. At the time this is the start of the film short film Indonesia participated in various festivals abroad. In the mid-nineties, emerging movement ‘Guerrilla Cinema’, a term that was brought up by Seno Gumira Adjidarma, a writer and observer of the film that reacts to the decline of national film production. Seno extreme view that the alternative film production is only fitting to replace the position of national films. At this time, although the Indonesian film production subsided, instead there are some movies that are categorized sidestream or art films a lot of talk in the international forum. Therefore, it is proper spirit ‘Guerrilla Cinema’ should be raised (Prakosa ,2001:10-13).
Short film-related short stories, but significantly greater, as happened in the world of visual art, has undergone various exploration of form and creation which produces a very distinctive style. The work of Luis Buñuel, Maya Deren, and works created by Stan Brakhage or Andy Warhol has further commented with MTV style compared to what was done previously in the main-stream film production. Filmmakers such as Stan Brakhage who are interested in the process of piling-stacked images rather than creating effects, but many realize the symbolic value, as occurs in self-reflection and realize with the equipment to be manipulated and delivered in a visual language. Some short filmmakers to position itself very stylistic as well as Andy Warhol’s minimalist. Actually, his position very clear style as opposed to the positioning of its content, that the experience of his films are commented in the medium exceeds the interpretation of the environment or the world in general. (Prakosa, 2001: 25-26).
If observed, it turns out many independent films we are already victorious abroad. Call it, for example, the film works of Nana Istiabudhi Hope Revolution who got the Gold Medal for the Amateur category in The 39th Brno Sexten International Competition of Non-Comercial Featur and Video in the Republic of Czechoslovakia (1998). Novi film also filmed Asep Kusdinar nominated in Henry Langlois Film Festival, France (1998).
In the Singapore International Film Festival (1999), five short films competing Indonesia took part, namely the film works Asep Kusdinar Novi, Jakarta 468 works of Ari Ibnuhajar, A Song filmed Eric Gunawan, Revolution of Hope Nana Istiabudhi creations, and Bring Home the fruit of the work I Lono Abdul Hamid .
These independent films representing Indonesia in international forums. In addition to these films, there are many more movies that show off overseas. If today people talk about the rise of independent film crowded, its roots actually been around since the seventies. If this phenomenon is a movement, it could be the future growth of independent films do not last long because just a moment in accordance with the spirit of a movement. However, when independent film was used as a common attitude, as Manifasto Oberhausen (1962), Declaration of Mannheim (1967), Hamburg Declaration (1979), and the Munich Declaration (1983), an independent film Indonesia could be the pre-condioning for revival of cinema new Indonesian (JiFFest term) as a whole.
In addition to aspects of the mission and the cultivation, independent films, were usually not pegged to duration unlike most major films. In some indie festival events, often the films are delivered not long lasting, but the time slot is only about 10-25 minutes. Why is that? Independent films do not involve strong investor so as to produce it does not have to wait for liquid funds of a conglomerate or a businessman. For indie film activists, if they have funds to buy cassette, eat / drink during production to editing it, felt was enough. Sometimes players are not paid. The tools used also do not have to use a movie camera or a camera Supercam VHS, Betacam, or digital cameras are now more trendy. Sometimes with cameras camcorders became.
In developed countries such as Mexico, Australia, America, Germany, France, Britain, Iran, and Japan, indie filmmakers increasingly gain a place in the hearts of the audience. For instance Iran, Islamic state is famous for humanist films . Though packaged in indie film frame, they are able to make a good movie to watch and implied value of humanity. Not infrequently their films get rave reviews from the world community as in the prestigious event, the Academy Award, several times nominated Iranian film.
By understanding the above description, there is no understanding that making movies is a monopoly of the owners of capital. Indie film phenomenon should be encouraging the beginner to wrestle filmmaking. If his work interesting, of course confident such bodies could help to send it to international forums. In correspondence, filmmakers, young filmmakers can get in touch with similar organizations in various parts of the world for independent film makers did not own. Almost all over the world, people have the same rights to independent films, because so independent this independent film.
