    Flashback Sequences

    I loved how "Mad men" treated one of the flashback sequences. Don walks up the stairs,trips and falls down. As he lays on the floor he looks up and there is his family talking to him. Camera cuts to him as a child. Given that he was on the floor,relatives looked down on him (same way they...

    Auditioning a death scene

    "M" treats the topic very poetically. In order for death to be effective, you must have enough story build up for audience to actually care for the character. A lot of deaths in old movies were done very simplistically (no blood, gore) yet it is the execution of dramatic idea that makes it...

    Short film - Copyright question

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Superman_%281940s_cartoons%29#Availability Public domain is what you google,but whenever there is copyright involved you can never be 100% sure without lawyer consultation and they can still sue you because they have departments who do exactly that.

    Which Lens for Canon t3i?

    18-55 is rubbish,but it is mostly the man/woman behind the lens who makes it look stunning. Instead of spending money, spend time on learning the theory of photography. Google Aperture and depth of field

    so if exterior is happening at different time of a day and you don't intercut a dialogue scene,why can't u leave it as it is? Weather can change drastically throughout the day. Do you match lighting ?

    "39 Steps" - A. Hitchcock 2 issues: a plot hole most likely than anything else in the very beginning. A overlay of a woman talking, although "artistic" (especially the "trick" of repeating word "quickly" which Hitchcock wanted to implement in the previous movies) yet seemed to be too bold for...

Personal issues do kick in, Hitchock and his writer split up due to money reasons, Dali...
