Student film making more work then lrene Genna gets the sound track ready for an upcoming production. iS. Kuehlj it looks For the serious, amateur film- maker the process of film-making is a complex multi-media endeavor since several of the classical art forms are inherent in the process. While creating a screenplay, the student film-maker must represent his idea in both written form, the script, and graphic form, the story board- a series of drawings depicting each scene chronologically and com- positionally: the camera's and, ul- timately, the audiences point of view. The script might not only indicate dialogue and screen-direction, but may also include orchestration of the soundtrack. Many of the sound mon- tages approach music concrete : a telephone-modulated voice sur- renders to the strains of a single guitar, a Swedish dialect is backgrounded by the familiar Looney-Tunes tag, a bank of speed- changed, cross-reverberating kazoos are augmented by a choir of drunken mourners.

Kuehlj soundtracks of several films. Having completed the screenplay and having procured talent iactorsj, props, costumes, access to locations, etc., the film- maker shoots the scenes. At this time, stamina is requisite: lt is not unusual for a 15 minute film to necessitate 12 or more hours of continuous shooting at a cost of S50-S100 in raw stock. During the shooting, work within the graphic and theatric art forms is prominent. After processing the raw stock icourtesy of the AV Centerj, the film- maker begins the editing stage of film production. Bad takes are omitted, scenes are sequentially rough cut . then final cutting provides for smooth flow of action and theme. The editing process requires an understanding akin to that requisite in other kinetic arts. The edited soundtrack is then transferred to the film. It's finished.
