Gwang-su’s Film Factory - How a Movie Is Made

Kimjo Gwang-su, president of Youth Film, a filmmaking company, has produced 10 movies. This writing provides the reader with a step-by-step introduction to the whole process of making a movie from planning and development to distribution after completion. It reads as if he were showing visiting school students around a factory. Illustrations and tables are properly arranged so that you may peruse information required in the filmmaking process. The author gives an earnestly realistic description of the process used for his movies and reference pictures presented as example cases. Each paragraph has an anecdote titled ‘Gwang-su’s Episode’ like a conte, which he experienced in the course of making movies, thus providing an insider’s view of the hidden pains behind the process of filmmaking. The author also gives a vivid description of seeking and being shunned by investors on the grounds that his movie project would be ‘unprofitable.’
