I was planning on having a very slow opening, show how the main character is somewhat depressed and losing interest in life. From there it would slowly escalate and get involved in some pretty wild stuff. I do see what you mean though and will certainly beef up the opening a bit.

I appreciate the advice and take it to heart. I will go back and make changes and try to imlement some of that advice. I think I just know that I will personally direct the feature so I neglecting adding more detail for the reader. Thanks again

I have written the first half of my script. I usually write by hand and than type it up after so it is a bit of a process. I was wondering if anyone would want to take a look and any advice or pointers would be greatly appreciated. It is a first draft so there might be a few mistakes here and...

I am looking to sell a feature length script I wrote to fund another project I am working on. The script is dramatic with comedy sprinkled throughout. 75% drama, 25% comedy. "Through a home video to his father, Miles Evans details his rise and fall as a high school drug dealer, and how his...

The track I had my eye on was Sam and Dave- Hold on I'm Coming https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AREppyQf5uw It has that upbeat but very clean and distinct sounding if you know what I mean. The trailer is for a Crime Comedy film as I would best describe the genre.

Thanks for the quick reply. I appreciate that. I have my sights set on a few 70's style groove/rock tracks that would really set the tone and be more effective in showing my style in the trailer. For the feature, however, I fully plan on working with many great indie artists. I live in Toronto...

I plan on shooting a trailer for a feature I hope to film sometimes this year. I plan on putting the trailer on kickstarter and hopefully raising a budget. I would love to use a couple great tracks in the trailer to really set the tone and style of the film. I was wondering if it is legal to...

After reading the script for Silver Linings Playbook I noticed David O. Russell capitalizes entire sentences. e.g. PAT WALKS INTO THE SUPERMARKET AND GRABS MILK. I thought you should only capitalize the noun and the verb of the sentence. Is this type of format he uses acceptable for amateur...

Hey everybody, Been lurking here for a while and I'm finally going to start shooting my feature in Mid May. I have the VG20 as well as a Rode Mic and a Sony 18-55mm lens. I'm really curious as to what else would be ideal to shoot a feature? I'm looking for recommendations on lenses to shoot...

I should also mention that i'm shooting it mostly steadycam to give it a documentary-ish look to the story.

So basically I have around 4k to fund the video and possibly audio of my feature. I'm looking to buy a good camera, good lense and possibly some sort of tripod. As well i'm looking for reasonably priced but very quality audio to pick up. My main concern is weather to go with a dslr or use the...

Its honestly pretty cool to use and a style you dont see too much. Just coordinating the shots is all you need to do and if you run through them a few times itll turn out great.

Im just recording basic dialogue as well as basic sounds like cups being placed down, doors closing nothing too extreme.

I am shooting a film of mine as a POV style using the go pro camera. I was told by the best buy guy that I couldnt plug a mic in to the camera. I was wondering whats a good mic to use or a mic and recorded combo. my budget is around 500. cheers to any replies
