I'd like to thank...

this week's topic on production got me thinking about how many different crew members play roles on a movie set. I've always hated credits at the end of movies, or on TV shows, that seem to never end, especially when they're at the beginning and you can't just leave. That being said, I guess I never realized how much work goes into making a movie. However, it can't be done by just one person. Well, I guess it could, but that would certainly be the only movie the person ever made because it would take them so long. Having a good crew I never realized plays so much a role. I guess for some reason a mask has been pulled over my eyes, and I feel like a director or a producer doesn't have much to do with the success of a movie, and it's pretty much all the actors. However, I've realized how much behind the scenes action has to take place in order for a movie to be good at all. The success of a film obviously has to do with the actors, but the main idea, the production, the editing, etc. all is behind the scenes crew working their tails off to attempt to tailor a perfect film. Simply put, after reading this chapter, I've come to see how difficult film making can really be, and how much work goes into making a film successful.
