Aaaaaand Action

Sitting down in a big soft chair with a bucket of popcorn in hand and a tall cup of  Coca-Cola Icee in the cup holder as the excitement for the movie to begin. As each preview passes, the anticipation for the movie gets bigger. The lights turn off and the movie begins. The moment everyone has been waiting for is finally here.

Who doesn't like a good movie or TV show to watch with the family? These things can only happen if there is a director. A director is a person who makes the movie happen. They tell the actors/actresses what to do and how to say the words they have been given. They also start and stop the movie whenever they feel necessary. What some people don't realize is how much time a director puts into making a movie happen. They work far more than the other people involved in the process of making a movie. They make sure the film is a perfect and is ready to be released.

Some movies that would be recognized as a good quality movie would be Toy Story,  Finding Nemo, The Incredibles, The Lion King, etc. Although these films may be animated they are still great movies that do well with critics and are great to sit down and watch for a movie night with the family. Disney and Pixar movies are the leading companies for animated movie production (1).  Pixar has put out many milestone Hollywood films. Pixar is the reason for many respected movies people are aware of today (1). Let’s take Toy Story for example. This movie was respected back in the 1990’s for its animation and style of production. Toy Story was known as a brilliantly made animation movie at its time and also was one of the first animation movies to use advanced animation.

An actor’s job is a very important job in the making of a movie. An actor has to memorize their lines and recite them when they film. Without them there would be no movie for us to enjoy. More important than the actor’s job is the director’s job. The director’s job is the most important because they start and stop the filming when they want until they get the perfect take. They decide when the film should be released and when it is finalized (2). So when you are sitting down and watching a movie you will understand the effort that was put into making the film.
