Been a film fan all your life?
Ever wanted to be in the movies?
Or even make a movie?
Well, there’s no better time than
now. Everyone knows that kids have
the BEST imagination!
Writing Your Story
So every movie starts with an idea,
which is turned into a script.
Most successful films follow a 3-act
structure, which means the script
is divided into three main parts: the beginning, the middle and the end.
ACTION! takes a look at
The Three Stages of Film making
with Far Out Films
In the beginning, all the characters and
Filmmaking is divided into three stages: pre-production, production and
post-production.
In pre-production, the script is finalised, crew is hired, actors are cast and
all the planning and preparation work
takes place.
In production, the cast and crew are
shooting the film.
In post-production, everything is given to editors whose job it is to edit the
footage, engineer the audio, add music and maybe even special effects. Finally, the credits will be added so that
everyone’s contribution to making the
film is recognised.
their problems are set up.
In the middle, all the action to resolve
the problem takes place (but
often makes it worse) before, at the
end, the film’s hero overcomes the
problem that was established in the beginning.
If you want to write a script audiences
love, try using this structure.
It will make your story tighter and improve your writing skills.

FAR OUT FILMS:
Far Out Films is a group of
award winning filmmakers,
based in Melbourne, Australia. Our objective is to
provide kids with a film set
experience through providing them with a platform
they can use to create films
that are suitable for child
audiences. Kids are usually
aged between 10-13 years,
although from time to time
we look outside of this age
group when a specific project requires it. Since we
began in late 2011, more
than 300 kids have participated on a film set with us.
