•Sound and lighting are very
important: good audio (easily understanding the person speaking without hearing
the photographer breathing, or street noise, for example) is critical. Good
lighting makes the video/movie watchable. Excellent "budget lighting"
includes: dusk or early morning, a foggy or overcast day, and shade (but only
when there is a darker background.) A white poster board or tinfoil can be used
to bounce light to the shaded side of the face. For night shooting use work
lights.
•You don't necessarily need to plan every detail of the
film. Just know the plot and the script, and a little additions aren't bad.
Improvising can give the movie a more realistic and fresh look, if the actor
does a good job with it.
•It's a good idea to keep a journal full of future movie
ideas that you come up with so that you can remember them and come back to
them.
Warnings
•Don't steal ideas when writing the script. Make sure the
ideas are all your own and as original as possible.You do not have the budget
that Hollywood does so the only way you can stand out is be unique.
•If filming in an actual location that does not belong to
you, such as a diner, ask the owner or a worker/manager for permission first.
This would ensure that things are being done legally, the proper procedure is
being followed, and to avoid any delays or complications with the shoot. Always
get permission in writing so there are no questions later.
•Child pornography is almost universally illegal, so actors
under the age of 18 cannot be involved in on-screen sexual activities.
