My friend.
How you start film making isn't that hard. Nothing is hard if you just belive it's simple.
What I did.. Was to start with animation, then I jumped over to 3D animation, then i got my first camera and me and my buddies wen't filming everyday. I used to force them out in the cold, acting. Some fun moments but I warn you. Don't push your friends like i did. It might ruin a friendship or 2
But short: Get a camera, write a little story! and find your actors. for a beginner actors are friends, family and cats.
First you got to understand. What is film?
Film is picture, sound and text together to tell a story.
You tell _your_ stories trough motion pictures! That is true film making, not these lightsaber fights and pointless action scenes (no offense to every VFX artist and filmmakers out there, myself make alot of them, their fun
)
I'm not saying don't do movies without a story. But you should learn how to tell a story trough motion picture first.

Lets say we got an scene where the main person goes to his fridge and takes out some milk.
This is why we change angles in films, we don't change angles because its cool and looks like a hollywood movie.
Ok back onto the scene.
The camera is placed like this
mm right and so he walks towards the fridge, sloppy and sad.
then now there is a problem. we can't see what he is searching for, nor his expression. Because we wan't to see the main character's expression and not his ass.
we change the angle so we can see more of what he is getting and his face. the milk will come in the frame/picture for a second when he pulls it out of the fridge just so you know that
Now we got a scene where we use angles correct. The angles helps telling the story you are trying to tell.
I'm sorry if i've said things more then once. Reason for this is because it is extremely important to know. Also I want to apologize if you don't understand everything. I'm an student myself and not a teacher. I'm also not english heh..
)There's no dialogue, so no need(in my case) for a script, and it helped it was one of those movies that kind of filmed itself. Also, Audio is pretty much reduced to ambivent sounds, I'm still debating about soundtrack. The thing I've found about my experience is that there is no "wrong" thing to do(except maybe having the lights off*L*)it's about experimentation and play. You learn as you go.
