Do you like making movies but can't seem to get the job quite right?Do you get frustrated at working hard and using precious time,only to find that your movies are totally bogus?Here are a few helpful tips on how to make a spectacular film by working on your editing,camera movements,story line,characters,scenes,a video camera,and writing skills.But always remember that the most important thing about making a movie is to tell the story in a clear and appropriate way.
editSteps
1Think about the genre of movie you want to make (e.g.:horror,science fiction,action,drama,fiction,non-fiction,etc.
2Watch movies similar to the one filmmaking via books,documentaries,etc.
3Decide if you want to create a narrative ("tell a story") film,a documentary (showing reality) or a compilation film (putting together vintage footage and/or photos).
If you want a narrative,decide if you want to write a story yourself,base it from a book you have read,or base it from a real life story.Don't confuse a documentary with a narrative.Narratives tell the story with characters and plots,so you can make a real life event into a narrative.Documentaries,on the behind the scenes footage of an event or a life of someone,with real life people discussing these things,while providing information to the audience about a person or an event.
4Decide on a theme or plot.Making a film about something you know is a good way to start.If you're excited and knowledgeable about the information or story,it will be apparent to your audience.Make sure you're very descriptive about what the movie is really about!
5Write the script/screenplay.If you want to submit your script to a professional,the screenplay will need to be in a special formats.If you're simply filming the movie yourself,you can write it like a play script.Your screenplay should detail every scene,all actions performed by the characters,the settings/locations,and when each scenes changes.
6Make storyboards and a shot list from your script.Planning what shots you want to film will make the shoot go smoother.
7Cast your film (Find actors).People in your community might work for screen credits in low budget films.Of course,it would be advantageous to have a well-known name starring in your movie.
8Location scout:find a place and decide on the time to shoot it!Home movies will be relatively spontaneous,but structured films should have a schedule so your cast and crew know when and where to gather.
If you can't find the right location,create sets.You can use wood and paint for very simple set modifications.(If possible,using actual locations is easier.It's simpler to film in a diner than make a room look like one.)
9Before your scheduled shoot,get (and test) your equipment.You will need a video camera and tripod,additional microphones,lighting equipment,and spare tapes/discs.
10Pick out some costumes and makeup for your actors,just to add some idea of who the actors really are in real life or just for the movie,depending on which style your making your movie in (if needed.)
11Film your movie.The shots you decide to take will make the difference between a "home movie" or a professional looking movie.Some people say to shoot multiple takes from multiple angles because it will be more interesting in the end.As a very general rule,professional filmmakers shoot each scene in a wide shot,medium shot and close up of important elements.Also,the type of shots they decide to take are determined by what feeling or emotion they are trying to convey.
12Take your footage to your computer - upload the photos/production you shot,and edit it.Cut out the boring parts.Make quick cuts and hold the viewer's interest.Editing between various angles can quickly show multiple things going on in the same scene.Use your editing system's split or razor tool to create smaller clips from multiple shots,and then mix and match.You'll get the hang of it.
13Add sound effects and music.Make sure that your music flows with what is going on during the movie at that second.Music gives the movie an emotional stance.It changes the audience's emotions which give them a more positive view on your film.You can vary your music,to make the audience feel happy,sad,angry,scared,excited,emotional,and more.
14Create titles and credits with software like VideoTagger for your actors and crew.You can also include a list of "thank you's" to any organizations that were willing to let you shoot in their establishments.
