Short Film Director Tips To Filmmaking With Low Budget

By Kathrine Franks


When you are interested in making films, then you might want to become involved in filmmaking. You can be the video jockey or the short film director. If you want to become the latter, then you must prepare yourself to make films as an indie. If this happens, then here are tips you can use to be able to make films on a small budget.

First, be sure to pick what story you want to use very meticulously. The story will determine if the movie is a good one or not, after all. The right story can help you keep the viewers glued to their seat while watching what you have filmed in the silver screen. With a good story, no one will say anything about your low budget.

The location should be considered as well. When the whole movie is being filmed, the team and equipment needs to move from one place to another. That actually eats up on your production budget. If one wants to cut down on this, then you better find a location that is good enough for the filming without having to move around a lot.

It is also necessary to pick the right camera. When picking a camera it should really fit with what script and budget you got. Nowadays, there is a wide range of cameras you may pick in the market that can be used in filming. You need to make a good choice when you are picking out which camera to use in filming.

A very essential component to your movie is the sound. What creates the best films are the sounds that are added as effects as well as the captured sounds of actors and actresses working their magic in front of the camera. Even the musical score has a high value when it comes to filming so better capture it right.

You must learn to be organized in your work. Avoid wasting your time with insignificant things like finding missing screws to complete your stage set. If one is unorganized, that would be unforgivable. Make sure to polish your organizational abilities then if one does not want to waste your efforts and time.

Your friends might be more than willing to be filmed. They might want to act in front of your camera. However, that will prove to be a bad decision, especially if they are not trained actors. The ones who are trained are the ones who can help with the progress of the movie. Otherwise, you will just be wasting time and resources.

Have a loyal fan base. You can usually enjoy a loyal following if you successfully and steadily produced films that other people can see. If you have a loyal viewers base, then the producers might come to notice your works. Producers are the ones who will be spending for the production of films so catching their attention is good news.

Luck alone is not enough. Thus, you must never rely on that alone. Luck is just a part of what you require to gain success. You also have to put in all the hard work necessary for the said project. Passion and integrity should also be given so that you can earn success.
