There are key technical components of a film can be divided into two key categories: 

Macro Elements

Micro Elements

The term "macro" refers to two things; genre and narrative.

The term genre refers to a category of media products that are classified as being similar in form or type. 

Sub genre

A subdivision of a genre of literature, music and film. 

Narrative

Story is a sequence of events, often referred to as the plot. A narrative structure is the way those events are revealed to the audience. A linear narrative is the sequence of events are shown in chronological order. This is the most popular form of narrative structure. And finally a non-linear is the sequence of events are revealed out of the expected order, for example the pulp fiction. 

 

First Production Meeting

 First Production Meeting

In this production meeting, which is our first, we decided to assign the roles of our production team. We decided that Damola would be cameraman, Patrick would be the producer and the actor, i would be the micman and finally Dennis would be another actor. We also made storyboards on what our story would be, so we have a clear idea on what we would do.
