Hello, I'm making that leap from shorts to features in the summer and have about £700 to spend on a DV camera, are there any cameras that stand out for people

thanks for the advice, do you think this site is a good way to get a foot in the door. Do you think that producers will be able to look at scripts or even just a few pages. I know if a producer looks at a scipt of mine they will be very impressed. The screenplays I have been writing aren't high...

do you think if you send the first 5-10 pages with the query they will read it

i'm a screenwriter, i like to think of a little idea and see if i can create it on a larger scale, say if your screenplay is about 2 friends, how are you going to tell that story, e.g. Flashbacks or continuous, then make some small situations bigger, and remember if a scene doesnt move the story...

I have a really good script, I'm still redrafting though but producers and agents wont accept unsolicited material, what should I do?

Hello, I recently finished the script for my short film "The House" (working title) anyway, i just want to say that it will be scary and intense, kinda like BROKEN but alot cheaper and a weirder story. The budget on my film is around 0.00 im actually going to sell my xbox so I can buy food for...

Hello, in the summer I am making my first short film on a really small budget, but i have a half decent camera a great location and some great actors, my only problem is that im not sure my camera is up to the challenge of capuring all the dialogue nicely. I can get a mic of a friend, but how...

The camera we have isn't really the best for picking up sound, what should I do, get a few mics, what ones and how much do they, cost.

Hello I'm thinking of starting a little 3 minute youtube show called star talk or something along those lines. I want to know how i could get cardboard cut outs of celebritys. Can I buy them: Can I make them: What do I do

Hello does anyone on this site use a Psuedonym, I'm thinking about using one, becuase my name isa bit too common and wouldn't stand out on a pile of scripts. My name is Ben Johnson, but I'm thinking of writing under the name Franklyn Hitchcock. What do you think?

or team up with a friend from university

Why dont you write it your self. It would only need to be 10 pages long. You could do that in one day. If your directing it yourself then It doesnt need to be very professional as long as you make the film look good.

One of my main concerns is that my screenplays arent coming off as professional. Does this opening scene look professional. and does the next shot which is a juxtoposition to the first. ANY ADVICE WOULD BE GREAT THANKS EXT. WASTELAND - DAY...

Hello, although film and filmmaking is my passion, I recently decided to join the merchant navy. Its 20- 23 thousand a year and most of it is tax free. I will be working 7-11 months of the year in oil ships and cruise ships. This has nothing to do with film I know. Me and a friend have went...

Thanks actually I'm writing the film based on a game i recently played (Fallout) and Slow motion is very important to the game so i wanted it to be incorperated into the film. This is the first draft and I normally go over everything I have written after 10 pages and add more detail and then...
