Great story!

What I liked about this is how random it was. I think the best part of this is when the three people are walking along side one another and they start pushing each other and the use of pinball machine-like sound effects was very effective. As for the part in the bathroom while there were a...

If you haven't seen it before watch Seven to see how they came up with red herrings for the audience, played with expectations and executed surprises. Forget about the legal aspects for a moment and work on the character of the vigilante killer - what are his motivations? To what extent does he...

One of my favourite genres of film is horror. My first experience watching a horror film when I was at an age where I could properly comprehend what I was seeing was when I was around 11 or 12 years old and my friend and I hired A Nightmare on Elm Street (1984). This film scared the hell out of...

It seems then that the act of coming up with a story is something anyone can do therefore, unless you are a name/director/producer already established in the industry, your chances of just being the one who comes up with the story ideas are greater compared to just being a fledgling and wanting...

Thanks for your response Directorik. Originally Posted By Directorik That was the essence of the question yes. It was something that I have always wondered about. It makes a lot of sense for the process to work in the ways you've described. I had in mind this notion that what George Lucas...

Despite the title of this thread I'm not concerned with how to come up with a story or the techniques to use in crafting a story. Rather, is there an official title for someone who comes up with a story idea, and is this a position within the industry one can make a career out of specifically...

That was really good. I liked the music. I liked the editing. I liked the look of the film. I think it was executed well. Great job all around!

You could have the detective seeing the suspect. He prepares the microphone. He follows the suspect to the location and holds the microphone in position or he could even be in position already and recording. Those shots could be quick and to the point without having to show the detective...

Excellent, I'm definitely interested to see the full movie!

Thanks amp, yeah I must have lapsed into australian screenplay format, which has a . instead of a - in between each segment of the slug-line. But thanks for pointing that out, small detail yes but that's where you can come undone if not corrected :) I'm going to change the pace to a more action...

Really well made. Great set-up. Excellent execution. I think this is really good, keep up the awesome work!

I don't want to become a filmmaker who is making large Hollywood productions. I'd be quite comfortable earning a living making content for online viewing. As long as I'm happy with my work, and enjoying myself, and getting paid to do so, then that's something that would make me content.

I'd echo the points RyiGarry makes and I'd add that I think the music at the end was really good but one thing that is, I guess you could say cliche, is the sound effect of the heartbeat. I'd suggest altering the sound of the heartbeat in such a way that it sounds more eerie than a standard...

Thanks for all the information everyone. I guess ultimately not all films go through the same issues during production and not all are deemed as a success or failure solely aimed at the director, and of course subjectivity is a massive factor as well - I love Big Trouble in Little China while...

Sometimes too I think comedy can be worked in by referencing something that may or may not be noticed by the audience but those with keen ears would get, for example at one point you could have someone say to Max: "Max, are you mad?!" Mad Max.

I see what you mean with the producer having to take over in the edit bay. So do you think it's better to be a producer or a director or perhaps maybe having a bit of a sense of both and their needs/requirements, in whichever of the two you choose to be?

The Producer indeed, that's what I thought! I can see what you're saying Will. The thing is though in regards to acting, when it comes to editing and choosing the best take of an actor's performance if the producer says they prefer the take where an actor was doing or saying something one way...

Is there a sub-plot you could introduce whereby the tipper is unable to get word to the gang sooner because he becomes waylaid by something out of his control?

I think there's a misconception by some people that directors are the ones who are always solely to blame for a film's lack of success because they are the ones who directed the film, regardless of whether or not the director had full creative control over the project. Who is actually in...
