Producing an epic is never easy meat. An epic tells of heroic and historic themes showcased to inspire or buttress the impressive achievements of a person, persons or sect. Epics are important because of the message they communicate; they do more than just tell stories. The idea is to bring the great feats of the yesterdays into today in such a way that viewers are inspired and informed of these inspiring achievements. Producing one hence involves a lot but is also applaud able when successfully accomplished.
The storyline of the Epic is the most important part of the production. Epics celebrate laudable achievements characterized by uncommon wisdom or bravery of the hero or heroine. The first stage is the content of the production. Who is this hero or heroes? What remarkable thing have they achieved in their world? By asking such questions, you are attempting creating a story path. Epics might not necessarily be of events that have happened in the past; it could be fictional but the theme of bravery and heroism must be underlined.
Today's TV is not seating at home in the sitting room waiting to display the goings on around the world to those at home; No. Today's TV is smaller, it is hand held, and it can be put in the pocket, accessed any and every time when the owner wants to with the same programs or similar ones available. Most people only have spare times on the way to work, at lunch, on the way back (when they are not the ones driving) and probably couple of hours before bedtime.
The location of the shooting of your epic should deplete as much as possible the setting of your story. If your story happened in the thirteenth century then it is wrong giving it a modern day setting. This could means talking with location managers or like in modern times most of these are accomplished by a series of computer graphics. It is not easy bringing yesterday into today but it is essential your eventual viewers will relate with the storyline just as it happened as though they were present there themselves.
The size of one's production will determine the involvements. For one hoping to make a massive production then involving the big movie companies might be necessary. If however it is low key may be for a local or school presentation then it might not get so demanding financially but money plays a big role in production. Such production will involve a lot of people and they must be catered for. For such there will be a heavy budget especially if the movie is anticipated to cart in some money too.
It is no doubt that we are at the end of the old TV. The fast paced world does not have such people who would be glued before a box dictating what shows or movies or programs you must watch. Today's people will choose what they want to watch, when they watch it and for as long as they want it. The big question really is; What does the old TV have to offer that these new ones can? No wonder they are referred to as old; they have become irrelevant and old fashioned.
