Hello everyone, So last summer, I attempted my first feature film. Long story short, it was an utter disaster. Various things went wrong, all of which I feel as though I have since learned from. For example, my shooting schedule was all over the place and never finalised, the main character...

Hello everyone, So I'm on a budget and in need of a field monitor. I'm using a DSLR and although the monitor won't be necessary at all times, it's obviously something that is very handy to have. I was wondering what everyone recommends. My budget isn't strict, but I'd prefer to keep it as...

We have multiple positions that need filling on our crew for our feature film, which enters production this coming June. The film is a post-apocalyptic action film, and follows our protagonist as she fights her way through the hell left behind by Society's collapse. The most vital of these is...

Hello everyone, Apologies if this has been covered before. Just wondering if anyone had any tips on what type of filter/lens to buy, or post production software to use, for good day-for-night footage? I don't have the budget to get good enough lighting to film at night, so I'll need to film...

Ok so here's my story: I'm 19 years old, and I plan on beginning my first feature film very shortly. I'm not expecting greatness to come of it; it's more of a story that I'm desperate to make into a film, and it'll be good experience. Once that's completed some time this year, I'd like to move...

So like everyone here, I'm looking to network with those local to me so I can help them and they can help me, and I can eventually build a team up. However, there's no easy way to do it on here. I don't want to clog up the 'newbies' forum, neither do I want to clog up the 'Welcome' forum, as I...

Hello everyone, I'm shooting my first feature from next February (possibly later, but thats the current schedule). Anyway, everything I've created so far has involved friends or friends of friends acting in them, so I've never experienced issuing a casting call before. I was just wondering...

Ok so I'm currently in planning for my first feature, which I will begin production on next year. I have the idea of the film, what the basic premise is etc. but I need some advice/tips. The film is predominantly based around a chase/run sequence, which will almost all be in real time (film...

Ok so here is the second short I have created, Impulse II. It's part of a series, hopefully 6 long, that I will be doing over the summer. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bbDMKgmGzQw Couple of things to note already: -The still towards the end, I know the dimensions are ruined on that...

Hello everyone, I'm filming my second film tomorrow. Once it's done I'm gonna get straight down to editing. However, I'm in need of music, and being a noob at it, I would much rather someone else who had expertise in the area could lend a hand. Obviously anything I use will be credited :)...

Ok so I wrote a horror slasher script, originally intended for my friends to bethe actors and me to make it. However I already have a busy summer of filming and many of them go off to university in October so I won't get around to using it. The narrative follows a group of teenagers at one of...

Ok so here is my long overdue first short. I already know some improvements I need to make, and I would just like to generally know what you guys think. Yes it's far from good, but it's my first one, I wasn't expecting Hollywood standard :P so yeah if anyone could watch it and let me know what...

Basically I made my first short without a boom pole and used the built in audio recorders on the cameras due to budget restraints. However this has obviously given me a lot of annoying background buzzing. What is the best way to clear this up? Is there a good piece of audio editing software...

Ok so I'm half way through shooting my first short, and already I've picked out what's worked and what hasn't. Has anyone else been in a similar place during your very first short? What went well: -the cast. Although the acting ability of some wernt great, they all understood my instructions...

Simple question really: In your opinion, what should a thriller include to make it, well, thrilling?

Hello everyone, I just wanted to ask a simple question: what do you think of my film plan - I want to complete 10 shorts (by the end of July), and then begin work on my first feature. I this good, bad - does it not matter as long as I'm comfortable? Just interested in others views :)

Ok, so I'm working on my first short. I've been planning this for a while now, and am finally ready to begin writing the narration script (most of the film is done through improvisation rather than script, so once this is done I'm almost ready to go). The introductory narration describes...

Hello everyone :) I'm hoping to create 10 films by the end of July. My only problem is i will still be in school until June, so although i have weekends to shoot until then, i have little time to create a script. What i'm looking for is a short (8-12 minutes in length) movie based on some...

Hello everyone :) I'm a 'wanna-be' director from Bromley, which is just south of London. My future ambition is to become a director of feature length films, and i feel that i have at least the knowledge needed to utilise my skills in this field. However, my main cause of trouble is both...
