And in this family, Alfred Hitchcock is one of the most glorious elders, of those who invented everything. Hitchcock has even experienced the transition from silent to talking cinema, which has helped him a lot in writing films, but we will talk about it again. The book \"Hitchcock\" written by another director, French and legendary, Fran\u00e7ois Truffaut, is considered a bible by the greatest filmmakers.<\/p>\n<p>The audio interviews between Alfred Hitchcock and Fran\u00e7ois Truffaut, retracing the master's career and his vision of cinema, are available free of charge here:<\/p>\n<p><iframe src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Jq51gq4s5r4\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>But why does Alfred Hitchcock say that screenplay is the most important thing to make a movie? First of all, what is a script?<\/p>\n<p>A feature film has a duration that usually varies between 1h20 and 2h30, and it takes several years to produce it. On average, 2 years.<\/p>\n<p>The stages of production in the cinema are countless, and fortunately you will not need such a level of detail to make a short film or a video capsule.<strong> But the techniques of cinema will help you make a film that you will be proud of.\u00a0 <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>To make sure you start off on a good footing, we first advise you to produce two very important documents: a script and a storyboard.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Le_scenario\"><\/span>The scenario<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><strong>This is the story told<\/strong> in the simplest and most efficient way possible.

Do not hesitate to give yourself time on this moment of creation and sharing. <strong>Good stories are often combinations of existing ideas. <\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>For example, let's imagine that we want to talk about the job of a firefighter.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>2\/ Whatever the genre of your film (from reportage to fiction), start by trying to <strong>Summarize your idea in a single sentence<\/strong>. This is commonly referred to as\u00a0<strong>the Pitch<\/strong> or <strong>the argument<\/strong> \u00bb in good French.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Ex: Bastien, 21, will live his first day as a firefighter, a day full of dangers but also of joy.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>3\/ Start writing your script with a first synopsis: <strong>complete summary of your story<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Ex: Bastien, a 21-year-old boy, wakes up full of energy. After swallowing a hearty breakfast and taking a shower in 30 seconds, he kisses his partner, Marie, who seems anxious.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>4\/ From this complete synopsis, <strong>Write one sentence per scene<\/strong>. In English this stage is called the \"\u00a0<strong>step outline<\/strong>\u00a0\u2019:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Bastien, 21, is in the bed of his room with his eyes wide open next to Mary who sleeps.<\/li>\n<li>The alarm clock goes from 5:59 to 6:00, the alarm barely has time to issue a single note that Bastien has already stopped it energetically and is already standing.<\/li>\n<li>In his kitchen Bastien swallows a very copious breakfast and swallows a large glass of milk with a milking.<\/li>\n<li>Bastien showers energetically, he sings.<\/li>\n<li>As he prepares to leave the apartment, Marie seems worried.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>5\/ You can now <strong>add your dialogues<\/strong> <strong>and more details to arrive at a scenario<\/strong>. Let's take for example Scene 5 above, here's how you could transform it:<\/p>\n<p>Bastien comes forward, determined, in the corridor with his bag on his shoulder, ready to leave. But Mary is blocking the door. She wears a large sweater too wide and stares at Bastien. Bastien puts down his bag, serves it hard in his arms. Mary serves him even stronger.<\/p>\n<p>BASTIEN, <em>reassuring<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Don't worry, my darling \u2026.<\/p>\n<p>MARIE, <em>sobbing<\/em><\/p>\n<p>You're texting me, aren't you?<\/p>\n<p>BASTIEN<\/p>\n<p>I swear to you<\/p>\n<p>MARIE<\/p>\n<p>You're careful, aren't you?<\/p>\n<p>BASTIEN<\/p>\n<p>I swear to you<\/p>\n<p>They kiss one last time and Mary gently opens the door to Bastien.<\/p>\n<p>6\/ That's it <strong>your scenario is complete, now it's up to the storyboard<\/strong>. The idea is to really show what your film is going to be. Still for Scene 5, you could draw:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Bastien walks down the hall.<\/li>\n<li>Marie's blocking the door.<\/li>\n<li>Bastien drops his bag.<\/li>\n<li>They're hugging each other.<\/li>\n<li>They're talking to each other.<\/li>\n<li>They kiss<\/li>\n<li>Mary opens the door to Bastien.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Good scenario and good storyboard!<\/p>\n<p><strong>To follow \u2026<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: right;\"><em>This article is the result of a partnership with the company <a class=\"wpil_keyword_link\" title=\"adobe\">adobe<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>Adobe has chosen to engage with young people throughout their educational journey to encourage them to develop their digital skills and creativity.<\/strong> \u201cWe believe that the use of our creative applications in the classroom fosters the development of digital skills while providing a creative and concrete approach in teaching and learning knowledge.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Adobe offers more than <a title=\"Adobe Creative Cloud.
