Thank you for all of the advice. Since in a sense this is a paranormal subject I was going to try to shoot it like Children of the Grave. I don't know if you ladies and gents have ever seen it.

I am trying to provoke people to think with this film. I want to show the pros and cons of using the Ganzfield effect for testing for ESP. At the end I would like to leave it up to the viewer on how they view the process.

Alright I know this is going to come off as a stupid question. How does one exactly write a documentary? I would like to know if maybe there is a certain template. I already have my camera its a Canon Vixia HF20 I also have a half way decent external microphone ( Audio technica ATR6550 ). I am...

I have been trying to figure out what to use for color grading with Pinnacle Studio 14. So far I am at a loss , can any one help me out please?

What would you use a monopod for? I have seen them around but I can't seem to figure out what sorts of shots you can do with them? Also would a monopod be a good investment?

You guys and girls and your high class cameras. I am working with a Canon Vixia HF20 I love it though and it only cost me $500.

Thanks y'all this really helped me out alot.

I know this is going to be a dumb question but I am full of them. I want to shoot a wide shot but then I want to cut into a close up. I know how to do it on the editing part but I want to know how I should film it? Shoot the same action twice? If that's the case how do I set up the shot so it...

thanks for the site and all of the advice. I have left the property owner a message and will call them back later next week if I don't hear from them. I hope to start shooting in two months. I will keep everyone posted as the film progresses

I will check the internet and the city hall. I didn't see any "for lease" signs. Would it be illegal to film outside of it as long as I don't go inside?

So I have begun scouting a location for my first film. Its my first film and I wasn't sure about filming on a certain location. Most of my locations are either on my property or friends property but I have one location that is an old music venue that has been shut down for a few years. I can not...

As far as the time of the shots goes I will be doing both day and night. Most of the nigh scenes will take place in the car or on foot outside. As far as my level of knowledge goes I am a noob to the max. So I will take any advice I can get.

I currently have a Canon HF20 but I was thinking of buying either a Canon XL1 or XL2. Would it be worth the upgrade or would it be an upgrade at all?

I don't know what codex I am running. Like I said I am a mechanic by trade I just make films for fun. So if you wouldn't mind explaining what you mean?

I want to get a Mac and get Final Cut Pro but I am not sure yet.
