One thing I often wonder is how do you write a location in a script? Say the script says they hang on a bridge. You'd have to have a real bridge and access to do it, right? Say in The Terminator Arnie arrives near the Griffin Observatory- was that written in the screenplay specifically or they...

everyday? I mean anything related to film as a career- making shorts, watching film related stuff online, watching a film, reading scripts, playing with camera, reading books? Apart from the day to day life that takes away your time- 5 hours? 8? Just on an average

The lighting and sets look great. When the fight starts its a tracking shot. After that how many cameras must they have used? Or did they go through the entire fight a few times and film it from other angles and steadicams? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XEElB5UTv-4

Everywhere...on blogs, in interviews and advice they say...go out and shoot something, anything. Cast your sister and make a movie on that handycam. Can't a person not do any of those and still make a feature film? Create a budget, shoot on 16mm for example and make a feature without ever...

If I tell you to go and make a feature film(haunted house horror) and give you 60,000 dollars for production(includes cast, crew and location) and you have never made a film before...just 2-3 short films. Would you go ahead and make a feature?

I found this article somewhere. How much, if one self produces a film, and hopes to sell it can make worldwide. Can it be done? Your thoughts..... http://www.ifilmalliance.com/newsevents/indie_films_ifa.php

I found this comment on imdb: I've only seen Scarface and the Untouchables from De Palma (which are considered some of his best) and I don't think he is anywhere close to the other directors mentioned. The movies I watched from De Palma were carried by the actors. The movies didn't look that...

I wonder how they function. Like do they hire directors to make a feature film? On what basis, how can one apply? Say I make a horror feature here in my country. Can I take it as a showreel to their office in LA? Anyone has any idea.

I had this discussion with someone: Me: Some scenes the writer should have a say how it must be shot. Him: Only if he's the one doing the shooting, and I can assure you it'll change on the day. Me: In my case, as a writer-director it doesn't matter. Him: It will when you discover nothing you...

One of my friends is bragging on facebook on how his short has been selected for the short film corner and will play there in Cannes. He's even been interviewed by the local newspaper and everyone is congratulating him on his wall. I looked it up and it says I must pay a fee. What's the deal?

Hey I notice on imdb how many of these 2nd unit director and assistant director have been doing it for years. First what is the difference between 2nd Unit and assistant? 2ndly are these fields necessary to become a director because they seem like they are happy doing just that. Will I have to...

Hey guys. This is my first short film I had made in a 3 month course a few months back. I'd love to hear your opinion: the good/bad everything. www.youtube.com/watch?v=eMR2bj5tc78"]http://https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eMR2bj5tc78

I made a post on how I am finding it tough to put my thought across to actors. Whenever I see a movie I notice how the actors act so naturally. For example in the opening scene of play misty for me where Eastwood is standing on the balcony, he looks to his side, looks straight and then walks in...

Seriously. I took a 3 month hands on intensive direction course and I almost got two guys to shell out 500,000 dollars for my movie with the catch being I cast their beautiful daughters(who were my classmates and into acting) as lead. I can still literally call one guy and hold a meeting. I told...

Hey, I had made an account here a month or so ago but due to being busy(and procrastinating) never got around to posting. I have so many things to learn, so much to ask and share. I am already assisting on TV shows here in my home country and would be making my own feature pretty soon. I have...
