Choosing a Team

Choosing a Team

What is a good team? We can define this as where understanding, coordination, and especially the similar styles of how people work will be considered especially with less problems.We all are very well aware of the fact that film making is just possible if we have a team right?  But have you ever wondered what kind of a team is necessary to gather for making a particular film? After we write a story, and have decided to meet the producer for the pitching of the film it’s very important firstly to decide the ‘perfect cast’ for suiting the film. Sometimes the actor/actresses does not appear the way the director had imagined him/her too, and this pulls down the film. So it’s very vital to gather the appropriate cast for adding more color to the film. Even sometimes we need to choose a team according to the ‘way’ they work. There are people who are very talented enough, but because of their lazy or reckless attitude the work gets delayed. So this should also be seen, and avoided as well. As a director it’s also very important to consider the cinematographer’s idea as similar as yours. Basically a cinematographer is your eye. He/she helps to portray the visualization which you have imagined, and helps it bring out practically, and look appealing as well. No matter how strong is the screenplay, and the shooting script, the director, and the cinematographer has to somewhere have the same kind of visualization for a much better coordination as well. If we consider an editor as well, it should be sure that the editor chosen for editing your film has the exact knowledge the way the director wants the film to be portrayed as well. Film making as I had said previously in my other posts is the usage of more than one brain. So contribution of each and every stage is very valid and helpful as well.

The disadvantage of team work comes when there are also conflicts between people, as you can never assure that you can find everyone with the similar way of making a film. Mostly, having a team with everyone having the equal passion and also contributing their best, working hard as well is very difficult to find, trust me. But it also somewhere depends on the patience, and the way how you lead the people. Understanding the people working with you will also make the impact of your team having the passion of working hard will increase as well. So it’s very important to get right kind of people to work with you, but that is always not guaranteed right? You will always in your path find a troublemaker, for example, not being punctual. But if that person will contribute his/her hundred percent, and will also somewhere be the reason for the success of your film, his/her name will surely be spoken by you while giving a speech about your film. Hence, choosing a team for your film is surely a tough task, but at the end of the day it will make the impact of the film in a much better way, just like you always wanted it to be.
