Plenty of people today want to watch their favorite books as movies. But most of the time what we don't grasp is that the author has no say in whether or not their book is produced into a film. The project of a book becoming a motion picture is completely out of the author's control.

Ok so how exactly are books that are movies created?

Frequently prior to the movie rights for a novel being sold, the book is optioned by a producer. This means just like it appears. The production company buys the possibility to procure the movie rights to a book for an arranged price. This comes with a time specification established once the options are purchased, however normally an option can last approximately 1-3 yrs until it runs out and the film rights for that book are on the market for purchase by another production company again.

Just keep in mind that even though a novel is optioned it doesn't always mean it'll be made into a movie without a doubt. Upon being optioned, the production company will check the expected target market and expenses, and they will identify if it looks like it would likely be worthwhile for them to go on with the production project for the derivative work.

Every so often a book is so sought after by several producers that before an upcoming expected auction between them, one production company can make a preemptive offer for the movie rights. Most often this deal is so generous that it'd be impossible to reject it, so the deal is received and keeps the auction from even moving forward.

No matter whether a book is optioned ahead of time or isn't, the next phase in the endeavor is for a production company to buy the film rights to the book. Now and again for considerably popular novels a bidding war amongst companies could happen.

Soon after the movie liberties are purchased, the project enters the development stage. Now is the time when a screenplay writer is appointed to adapt the book to movie form. This is an essential point in the production seeing that how nicely the writer can transfer the novel to a screenplay can determine how close the movie is to the book. After the script is agreed on by the production company, a director is employed to make any necessary changes to the script until it's authorized for recording. Also within the development step a distinct budget is determined for the additional stages of production.

Once the budget allowed and script are solved, the movie enters the pre-production phase. While in the pre-production state the production company is on the lookout for designers, additional producers, cast, film crew, and all others they need to make the story come alive. Possible locations for recording are reserved and storyboards are set up to aide during the filming phase.

Soon after everyone is selected, locations are nailed down, and all the bugs worked out legally and idea-wise, it's time for production to get going. Cast and crew come together to see to it that the novel is made into a movie in the nicest way possible.

When filming is completed the film is put into the post-production state. During this step scenes are tidied up and ordered properly. Editors add the audio and visual effects. At this stage scenes are re-shot if complications are found at the time of editing or extra scenes are needed for the story. After the various other elements added in throughout editing are included in the film, we now have the final cut, best known as the master. At this point any required color correction is implemented and a score is added in. As soon as the film is okayed by a private screening, the master is locked and cloned to be able to organize it for reproduction and circulation.
