Joanne's Fabrics: $13 for a pretty big green screen. I also made a frame out of PVC pipe.

By tradition you start with FADE IN and end with FADE OUT. If you want a black screen somewhere in the middle, you can simply say BLACK or FADE TO BLACK, etc. That's how I generally approach this question.

I read it. Several things worry me about turning this into a film. 1. A lot is internal dialogue, perhaps more than half would simply be unfilmable, and just cut. So what's left? 2. A guy sits and drinks and sees an apparition outside, and sits and drinks, and perhaps has some sort of...

Are you talking about MATCH CUT? INT. WAITING ROOM The woman reads a People Magazine. On the cover is Carrot Top. MATCH CUT: INT. CARROT TOP'S PENTHOUSE Same People Magazine cover. Lower the magazine and it's the man, in the flesh -- CARROT TOP... That sort of thing?

I think you're on the right track. You've thought about the shots more than a lot of other people who post videos. First step, write each shot into a legible script. Second step, try and storyboard shots that aren't that obvious. Things to consider: 1) Can you have a foreground v...

DAY SHOOTING: The dynamic range is what you want to look into. Alexa currently has about the same as film (14 stops). The Red Epic with HDRx is supposed to surpass that, but it may add strange motion artifacts. The jury is out. Some film may get even higher, 15-16 stops is what I heard...

Hook the viewer, introduce the main conflict. Flip the script, big twist into act 2. Escalate the conflict and tension, greater stakes. Resolve the thing with a big finish that touches on the theme and relates back to the opening act. Yet, it can't be too obvious where it was going. It's...

Aguirre, The Wrath of God (1977)

What kind of question is that? Have you seen movies? What kind of characters are these? What's the story about? What's going on? What's the reason for the scene?

Real advice: 1. Write your first opus in all its glory. 2. Burn it. It will suck (99.99% chance). 3. Second script -- same thing (83.4%). 4. Go through my post on newbie advice. 5. Shoot some very short films that cost nothing. 6. Try and work with people who know what they're doing...

I'm in the middle of building a shoulder mount from wood that's going to be less than $30, pimped. Will have post with pics in a few days.

"How can i rectify this problem. " Find a writer.

Editing. No one wants long rambling speeches from a talking head. Break it up.

I always remember Jim Morrison's short film where he's reading poetry walking along the edge of a building. The guy was suicidal and reckless. Don't know the details of this new kid. Perhaps the latest generation is getting numb to risks with all the "extreme" nonsense and Jackassism...

"so silly it may work... Snakes On A Unicycle" In what universe could that "work?" You'll need more detail to back that one up.

What the hell... I will critique Up to Ten Pages of Your SCREENPLAY for $5 http://www.fiverr.com/users/mail4joeg/gigs/critique-up-to-ten-pages-of-your-screenplay

If they're signed by a real label, you might as well forget them. The label will want money. That's why it exists, to make money. Find a band that's self-promoting and on their way up.

Shoot somewhere quieter. (3 words) I had a too smart for his own good DP on my last project (which fell apart). He would constantly ignore things like giant Coke trucks in the background, which he wanted to paint out in After Effects. I had to keep telling him to just change the angle...
