  Media Story explores all aspects of the various media, looking at the people involved in each industry and the jobs they do. Each book shows, in simple step-by-step sections, how each medium is produced. This book looks in detail at how a film is made and the various people who are involved in producing a film. The modern film industry is really a history of huge, multi-million pound budgets, incredible special effects and exotic locations. Movies such as Batman, E.T., Star Wars and the Indiana Jones trilogy cost an absolute fortune to make and require contributions from innumerable actors and behind-the-scenes people. The industry has progressed so far that film-makers have to strive to unbelievable lengths to produce a film that is original and new, and will appeal to the public. This book looks at how a film is made, from its initial inception right through to the hype and publicity that herald its release to audiences worldwide. The author sets out to explain who the various people involved in a film-making are and what exactly their particular functions are. There is a project section which shows the readers how to make their own film.
