Going Behind the Scenes of Film and Television Production with Filmmakers

day the producer and director feel all of the kinks have been ironed out; the set is perfect and the actors ready for the cameras. Film or television production isn’t filmed in script order. The director chooses scenes he wants filmed first. There is really no particular order to filming a production. Often, availability of a particular location will determine which scenes are filmed first. Joe Leonard, director of “How I Got Lost” sums it up, “When you’re trying to make your movie, don’t ever let anyone tell you ‘no.’ Except when it has to do with fireworks.”
