No not the 550d i meant the 500d, i only have the 500d available to me unfortunately. BTW sound isn't an issue for me since this film will only have music and narration, it's really jusy about video quality. I know the 500d can shoot 24fps at 720p, which is what ill be doing, but whats this...

I'm making a short and I don't know which camera would be better to film with. Which has better video quality and will be easier to achieve the "film" look?

Its for when you apply to university, you have to write about yourself, why you want to do the course and stuff like that...

Know any good film making books for a beginner? im thinking this http://www.amazon.co.uk/Guerilla-Film-Makers-Pocketbook-Ultimate/dp/1441180788/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1289590763&sr=1-1 do you know if its any good? I wanna read a good filmmaking book so I can mention it in my personal...

There's something in the foreground obscuring the view and is usually blurred out. Directors like Wong Kar Wai and Danny Boyle usually use these kind of shots. My tutor calls them "dirty shots" but I don't think thats correct as I can't find anything on google...

It's the long tracking shot with a snorricam where the camera sits there looking a the person while they walk around and you see the background behind them moving. I need to know for a piece of work

Damn, you guys are lucky to have been able to use proper cameras like super 8mm for your first attempts. I just used a digital camera.

Wow, what's your problem man. Did you not read my post? I just said they were lazy, rushed and I didn't put any effort into them. The shot you stole from Jurassic Park? What? Why are we going into copyright? Did I just make a feature film or something? that thing is just a piece of shit I made...

These are my first attempts at film making. They were very lazy and rushed and I didn't put any effort into them, I made them bad on purpose so I don't consider them "my first short films" but they were my first attempts at using a video camera to film something into a storyline.(I made some...

I've always had an interest in becoming a film director. But I never took it seriously and always passed it off as one of those things you say as a child, like "I want to be an inventor when I grow up!" I never really seriously considered it till around 2 years ago. My dream back then was to...

I've only seen the first Saw and I thought it was a pretty good and enjoyable movie. It's got some mega cheesy aspects like the dialogue of the two men in the toilet and the lame metal music with the speeded up torture/death scenes. I don't get off to gore and violence but I definitely think it...

I don't like movies that use hand held throughout the entire film, but I like it when they use it to enhance certain shots. For example, if you have a shot of someone weeping intensely, a hand held mid shot might be more effective than a static one. You could follow that shot with a long shot of...

Haha that must have gotten really annoying. I don't wanna be famous as in having paparazzi following me around and being mobbed by fans. The only director who probably gets that is Quentin Tarantino. I just wanna be a respected figure in film with people who love my movies, even if it's a niche...

Thanks Btw, I have directed some short films and their on this forum, so it's not like I'm sitting on my ass dreaming and doing nothing. I recently dropped out of my school where I was doing my A levels to go to a college and now I'm doing a course in Media Production and I've already learned...

I see what you mean. So it's pretty much, do something that pays the rent and work on films in your spare time until you get your shot at greatness. I would love to be a director of photography or cameraman, I also really enjoy editing, but my dream is to be a director. When I have my degree...

I know this is a predictable question... What are the different ways? I know one way is to get a job as a runner and work your way up, but can anyone explain what positions you have to go through before you get a chance to direct. Another way is to make a really good indie film, like Darren...

Basically my PC is extremely outdated and has made it almost impossible for me to even edit videos. So I plan on getting a laptop/macbook. So whether I should use final cut or adobe premier is the decider whether I should go Mac or stay Windows. Which one is better and which one is used in the...

I enjoyed it. :D Obviously you could see the smirkes on your friends faces, but I'll let you off, it's all practise and a bit of fun. However, I really think you need to be a bit more creative with the cinematography. Get some more interesting shots in there. If you need some inspiration, go...

I'm not actually applying to a Film School yet, I was just curious. I've looked at the prices and I'm shocked! :no: I had no idea it would be that much! I think I might have to take the university route instead. On another note, do you guys know if a university degree in film and moving image...

That's cool, I thought you had have really top quality movies like some of the ones I've seen on this website. What do you mean interest in film? Do you mean, how much you love movies? so stuff like your favourite directors, favourite films? Or how much you know about film history, like the...
