    It comes down to the definition of 'start' Momentum should begin on page one. As to the inciting incident - Consider how we refer to the inciting incident. Perhaps the fundamental quality of movies and shows we most enjoy is that the inciting incident is also defined by an 'opportunity' as...

    Goodbye 3D, hello 4k...

    I think what happened to 3d premium tvs is a good indicator of what will happen to 4k premium tvs - I've trouble convincing nearly everyone I know that 1080p and bluray really is worth it, all these years later

    cinematography Camera Help

    The risk mentioned here is very real. Though, I think its well worth getting a dslr out of the gate. There is no question, these give no-budget indie first timers the image of the professional. So get a dslr - w/ this caveat: don't waste any more time or money on learning/picking up gear than...

    Your screenplay is wrong. Here's why.

    The funny thing about Homeland is the feeling that the outs are redundant.. that is, not that the inevitable out is a painful sacrifice in a crisis, followed by a release that lets them off the hook from that crisis - but that the outs are two ways of resolving (releasing the tension of) the...

    Your screenplay is wrong. Here's why.

    Noticed something about the writing in the show Homeland; often they will give you redundant outs to the tension of a particular plot conflict. That is, they give you the out that you see coming, that would force a character to make a moral decision, only to introduce a new out to alleviate the...

    No way. You've really got everything together. On natural modern lighting; this was done with a few china balls (big, diffused source that naturally lights the actor in ratio to the room) suspended about the room, with halogen bulbs inside (note also the practical lamp as a background element &...

    Camera/equipment/supplies/general first-timer anxiety

    Sounds like you are right where you need to be. You've got all you need - passion, basic equipment - to make a film. No need for worry, the DV100 is a great camera, and the Mke set can be worked with. [Fwiw, your equipment will serve you best in outdoor, daylight shots] If you'd like to...

    To expand on that, what I did was to create little song 'blocks', or measures, played by various instruments to the exact same time signature. There were a few motifs, & some note textures. I then took these pre timed blocks into premiere, which allowed tailoring the song structure to the story...
