Many avid readers want to see movies from books they love. But most of the time what we don't see is that the author has no say in whether their book is transformed into a film. The undertaking of a novel turning into a motion picture is effectively out of the writer's hands.
Many times some time before the movie rights for a novel are purchased, the book is optioned by a production company. This implies just as it appears. The producer buys the possibility to lock in the film rights to a book for an arranged price. This accompanies a time specification arranged when the options are obtained, but mostly an option can last several years until it expires and the movie rights to the book are on the market to buy by another producer once more.
Keep in mind that although a book is optioned, it doesn't necessarily mean it's going to be transformed into a movie for sure. After the options are purchased, the producer will investigate the possible demand and expenses, and they'll figure out if it will be reasonable for them to go on with filming the story for that book.
At times a book is so demanded by several production companies that prior to an upcoming projected auction among them, one producer will make a preemptive offer for the film rights. For the most part this offer is so ample that it'd be insane to decline it, so the deal is taken and avoids the auction from occurring.
Regardless of whether a book is optioned beforehand, the next step in the process is for a production company to pay for the movie rights to the book. Every so often for extremely well-known books a bidding war with producers could ensue.
After the movie privileges are sold, the project comes into the development stage. Now a screenplay writer is selected to change the book to movie form. This is a crucial step in the process since how well the screenplay writer can transfer the story to a screenplay can make or break how similar the movie is to the novel. When the screenplay is accepted by the production company, the director is hired to re-write any needed adjustments to the screenplay till it's approved for filming. Meanwhile a specified budget is calculated for the following stages of production.
Once the finances and screenplay are sorted out, the movie is put into the pre-production phase. In this step the production company is on the lookout for designers, additional producers, cast, crew, and all the others essential to bring the novel to life. Possible places for shooting are booked and storyboards are created to help out during the creation phase.
Once everyone is appointed, locations are decided on, and all the bugs resolved legally and conceptually, it's time for production to start. Everyone comes together to be sure that the story is brought to life in the best way conceivable.
Once filming is finished the film goes in the post-production phase. At this point in the process scenes are cleaned up and ordered in the correct sequence and editors introduce visual and audio effects. At this stage clips are also re-shot if difficulties are discovered while editing or new shots are needed for the plot. Once the complementary elements introduced while editing are combined with the film, we have the final cut, also known as the master. After all this, any required color correction is done and a musical score is included into the film. After the movie is approved by a private screening, the master is closed and copied in order to get it prepared for reproduction and distribution.
