Come on guys, theres got to be something to say.

Thanks man, has anyone got an critisms to make about it ?

Hi there guys and girls. I have just finished my second short film which has been one hell of a production nightmare. To me, I am not happy with it, while style wise I think it is better then Helper the actual story is badly told due to many other reasons. We originally lay down 10 hours to...

Thanks for the Advice. I know what you mean, it was rushed and in the wrong location so hopefully, when I have more time it will look a better. The reason for no establishing shot or anything is becuase part of the mystery is where this is. It is reveled later in the film. Definatly more...

Thanks for all the advice guys, very glad I did a test intro so I can use all this feedback in the real piece. It is definatly too horror like, I wanted some scary elements to make the whole piece unerving but definatly went over the top with that. I was going to use some really foley but I...

Hey guys/girls I am currently working on a short film for a my A2 assigment and maybe entering it into film festivals if it turns out alright. We couldn't make the location since it was all locked up so we decided to bang a test intro out in another. I am really looking for feedback on the...

Second short is underway with actual proper scripting and decent diolouge this time

Anyone else have any more advice.. Would like to get as much onboard before my second short :)

Thanks for the reply. I love film, definatly my passion. I think about nothing other then film. In my Hisotry, English and Maths class Film is on my mind. Spending all my prep time reading up on films, watching shorts, watcing documentires My essay writing skills are pretty good as you can see...

Can I ask, how hard is film A2 ? I am thinking off taking it but my school don't teach it. I am in 6ht form so I am already well into my AS so AS film is not an option. I think I could nail the corsework easily but the exam paper... is it really that hard if you've been looking at film for a...

Thank you for the offer I may well take it up. Next film is going to be about WHY someone may take heroin. Its not going to be that violent but very graphic. Going to start writing soon.

No as in the project is the effects of drugs on peoples lives so it has to be about drugs :D Im not a massive fan of the story hence why I want a refresh. Its was nothing speical storywsie and had nothing unique about it we had to come up with something in 2 hours so being 17 year old boys...

Thank you. Yeah, I used to have a HV20 with a 35mm adaptor which I messed around with (effect test videos basically) and taught my self editing/compositing, it also helped me with framing and other such stuff. I have only recently had the 550D and was still getting used to it during filming...

No tripod at all. It was all done on a DIY sholder mount so that save ALOT of time. It take no time to shoot a short convosation 2 Angles of Man Y speaking (One close, One wide) 2 Angles of Man X psekaing Then pan round Man Y in one shot when Man X is talking to produce another angle in same...

Youcan choose to believe me or not but its the truth. Took about 2 hours to write between 3 of us, the script litterally consisted of nothing more then "Runs" "Punches him in the face". Then took 4-5 hours to shoot and about 6 hours to edit... though if we want to get techincal you can say the...
