I must say, you all make pretty convincing arguments I think I'm going to invest in an audio set up as soon as I get the spare cash

I thought that'd be the case to be honest Just trying to see if I could get away with just the camera Looks like I'm going to be trolling ebay for a boom mic :)

I'm planning to record a few films soon. (One short, one feature) and I'm just wondering, as a general point, would I be better to use the Mic on my camera, or try and find a boom mic? The camera is a Canon Legria HF R16, and from what I've tested (Which isn't much) the audio works pretty well...

For me, I've always had a huge interest in the actual workings of a film, even at the age of 12, I'd watch all the extra bits on DVDs (Okay, so admittedly the DVDs I had back then didn't really cover technical aspects, but the lust for knowledge was there) Then the interest in the process faded...

There's quite a few I havn't seen... Jaws 2001 Space Odyssey Schindler's List Terminator Kill Bill I'm sure there's more, but I always find that when you start to think of these things, they always escape your mind

My personal favourites would be... The Trial from The Wall Phone Booth (It's basically just one scene :P) The Introduction from Machete The Finale from Black Swan The whole TV thing, from Requiem For A Dream And a few more probably

Hey, don't worry about the "intern" thing. Tbh, as far as the professional world is concerned I'm worse. I'm a student *gasp* Anyway. I'm using Lightworks after migrating from FCP, mainly because I need to learn something that I can use outside of my school, and it seems quite intuitive. A full...

Hey, I'm going to offer some free editing services for a while. Mostly because I want to build a portfolio, and I'm trying to get used to some new software. I can't guarantee great results, but I'm only looking for the experience anyway, so there's nothing to lose. I'd need footage in a digital...

I'm actually in the process of making a low-budget horror film too It's alot harder than it seems, we've limited ourselves to a budget of between £300-£500, which will just about cover make-up effects. My tips would be: When writing the script, keep the on-screen effects to a minimum, imply...

Thanks for the replies guys directorik: I'm going to try go through that whole process, but from what you've said it seems like I'll have to wait until post-production? Or is there any way to secure the rights in advance? Yeah, I know what you mean... I'm highly tempted to just write my own...

My personal approach to storyboards, is that they can be useful, but are definitely not necessary For example, at the minute, I'm scripting my first full-length feature, and I certainly don't plan to use boards, mainly because of the financial aspect, but also because I find if I have...

I'm in the progress of making my first full length film, and in an attempt to legitimize the whole process, I'm going through all the legal hoops that I've never bothered with before (Mainly because nothing I did before had any hope of being seen) But, I have an idea for an opening scene, and...

Thanks for the reply :) Yeah, we weren't intending to make it anywhere near as long, or even story based, as it turned out. But we just kept evolving the story on the spot. To us it made sense, but once we got to editing we realised a lot of mistakes. Needless to say, we're scripting our next...

Another possible solution is to write your own music? Or get someone else to write some It could work out as being cheaper Just a suggestion :)

To me, most directors style comes from their film "signatures" Although it's not always the case. Such as, Kevin Smith's style comes from his Signature "Two Shot" which is two actors in frame from a mid shot just talking, (Most shots of Dante and Randal in Clerks). A lot of his style also comes...

Watchmen is a pretty good example of how Narration can create an affinity with a character. It makes Rorschach seem like a more three dimensional character, rather than just a psychopath with a strange mask. In essence, it can create a gateway into a characters personality when the character...

I'm not sure if it's exactly what you're looking for, but Clerks is one of my all time favourites, and seems to fall into the "Limited cast and Location" category.

Just looking for any sort of feedback (Positive or Negative, I don't mind :)) Basically, we were given a very basic idea to go and make a short film, and developed, an admittedly negligible plot in the space of about 10 minutes.. So any sort of feedback (Here OR on Youtube) on camera work...
