Steve Carpenter Initial Proposal 2/19/09 > > < http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Movie_making_manual >. This source contains a lot of extremely helpful information about every step in the process of making a movie. This site literally a manual designed to help people like me who are making their first movie. I am really excited because it has a whole section on the selling aspect which is where I will need the most research. I also found the site Tyson, Jeff. “How Movie Distribution Works”. __How Stuff Works__. > 1998-2009. How Stuff Works. February 17, 2009 . > > this site is very helpful because it shows step by step how to distribute a movie. It even has a graph to help explain the process works.
 * How do I make a movie and learn the process of selling that movie?
 * Throughout my high school career I have enjoyed making videos in classes such as TV Production and Digital Video Editing. Recently I was accepted to Temple in the school for Film and Media. I hope to become either the head of a broadcast station or, eventually a producer of movies. I also like to creative write. When I was given the choice to do a project on anything I wanted, I thought it would be the perfect opportunity to make a movie and learn more about how to sell movies.
 * I want to write the script for a movie, film a movie with a cast of my friends, edit the movie using the schools editing facility, and make a package designed to sell the movie.
 * I could be helped by some research information about writing the movie, information about scripting, information about directing, and information about editing, but the most important research I need to do is for information about selling the movie.
 * The highest quality source I have found is “Movie Making Manual.” __Wikibooks.org__. 21 January 2009 . WikiBooks. February 15, 2009
 * I anticipate my project involving work in writing the script, filming, and editing, all of these will also take a lot of time. The resources I will use to accomplish these tasks will be my home video camera, the website [|scriptbuddy.com], the schools editing facilities, my friends, their time, the school, Hawk Mountain Camp, and the movie making manual.
 * My mentor will assist me with my project by editing the script, watching the movie and giving me feedback, and giving support and ideas. My topic expert will help me by helping me with the editing process, giving me knowledge and information about the topic, giving feedback and advice for my movie, and helping me with any computer problems I encounter.
 * The challenges I foresee happening are not having enough people involved to have a camera person, under filming, running out of time to edit everything, trouble with acting, stressing out about times and places, getting the cast together at the same time, filming everything I need at each set, running out of memory in my camera, and running out of batteries while filming important scenes.
