My suggestion would be to grab whatever camera you can and simply shoot. If you're really passionate about filmmaking, and still are when you complete high school, look at attending a film school, or getting onto what sets you can.
Everyone and their dog thinks they can make a movie just as good or better than anything in Hollywood. Everyone is an armchair critic. Everyone will sit there and tell you what's wrong with a plot, or a story, or a shot, or whatever, but the thing is none of them actually could do it. At least, not without years of experience and practice. And the same applies to you. The fact that you're interested in filmmaking is great, but it doesn't mean anything until you turn that interest into a passion, and then turn that passion into practice and experience. There's a reason that the top DPs and top Directors are in their 40's, 50's and 60's, and it's not simply because they weren't interested until they were older. It's because you really need to put in the 10,000 practice hours, and observe and learn from others before you can achieve any level of greatness in anything.
One thing you seem to be lacking at the moment is a certain level of maturity. Which is fine, you're 14; that's not to necessarily be expected. But it's hard to be a part of a mature, professional crew if you're not mature yourself.
The biggest thing you can do right now is go out and get a camera and start shooting. Don't expect these to be the best movies ever because they won't. They'll probably be horrible. And if you think they're amazing, show them to people you don't know, post them online and ask for honest opinions - and then take those opinions on board rather than getting defensive.
Making a film is hard, and making a great film is even harder. You need the right combination of everything - lighting, sound, camera, acting, directing, production design etc. etc. etc.
No-one expects you to make the next multi-million dollar blockbuster as your first film and you shouldn't either. A dash of ego can help you in your career, but you don't want an unrealistic ego. You don't want to think you're better than you are. Be realistic about your own limitations, and adjust your expectations. All 12,000 films that submit to Sundance each year think they're going to get in, and be seen by someone and then get a chance to either turn their short into a feature, or have their feature distributed. Guess what? Around 1% of films submitted
even get into the festival, and even less get picked up for distribution.
A dash of humility goes a long way, even if your product is good.
Also, in regards to a film like The Hobbit:
Peter Jackson is a highly successful filmmaker. I haven't seen the film yet myself, so I cannot give you my opinion on the film. However; there will always be people who hate your film. There are people who hate Star Wars, people who hate Indiana Jones, people who hate Lord of the Rings, people who hate Harry Potter, people who hate Twilight etc. etc. etc.
But there are a lot who love them. Just because somebody hates a film, doesn't mean it's necessarily a bad film.
Secondly, I can guarantee you the filmmakers read the book, as I'm sure a lot of those in the cinema had as well. Books are really difficult to make into movies, as each person has a completely different idea of what the book looks like in their head - I'm not a big Harry Potter fan, not because the movies were bad, simply because after my reading of the books, I would've done things very differently. It doesn't mean they're bad films, and the filmmakers themeslves are highly successful, and deserve a large amount of respect and adulation, not matter how bad you think one of their movies is - are you not aspiring to be in their position? To make a movie with a $200mil budget? You'd be wise to look at their process and how they got there, and look at why their films are so successful, regardless of whether you like the movie or not.
The legendary Dick Barth's four rules of Camera Assisting, go as this; and these should be applied to pretty much every single filmmaking job:
-Show up early
-Punch in on time
-Do your job
-Keep your mouth shut
Everyone has an opinion, and most people don't care what your opinion is. Always think before you speak and consider the outcome of what you have to say. Your opinion, and the way you word it can get you into a lot of trouble, without you even realising that you said anything wrong.
For now do as much reading as you can - books, internet, and watch and analyse as many movies as you can - why this shot? why that lighting? why that random sound efffect? Ask youreslf why did the filmmaker make this decision, and analyse films.
And really importantly, listen. Listen to those with more knowledge, and more experience. Listen to those who need to be listened to. And take constructive criticism. Don't instantly get defensive when anyone says anything. You need to be able to take constructive criticism, just in general in life, but especially in filmmaking. ANd you really need to have a tough skin as everyone is a critic, so learn to take criticism, don't get too defensive if you don't have to, and stay humble - no-one likes a big ego, especially if you can't back it up.
