In this installment of film making tips, I want to go over the story.I can’t stress this enough. You MUST have a story worth telling.Let me ask you a question. Let’s say you went to a person’s house and he started telling you about his trip to the supermarket. He started it something like this.”I went to my local ShopRite to buy some food. First, I went down the produce lane and got some bananas and oranges. Then I went to the bread aisle and picked up a loaf of whole wheat.”And this went on and on and on through his entire shopping experience. Wouldn’t you be bored to tears? Would you even want to hear about his whole shopping experience? If you went to a movie and the movie itself was JUST like this, wouldn’t you get up and walk out?Okay, let’s take the same premise, going shopping, but add a little twist to it that makes the story worth telling. What if the person started his story like this.”Did I ever tell you about the time when I went to the supermarket to buy a loaf a bread and came home a multi millionaire?”Do you not think that you’d be intrigued enough to at least want to find out how this person goes to the store to by bread and comes home a multi millionaire? I know I’d want to hear every last detail, especially if they are nice and juicy.Okay, so right there, we have a story worth telling. That doesn’t mean we can’t screw up the telling of the story itself, but at least we have something to start with that has a lot of potential.You MUST have something to tell that is going to get people interested or there is no point in telling it.

Movie Training & Film Making Tips – Volume 2
Friday, February 25th, 2011In this installment of Film Making tips, I want to go over budgeting.
Like it or not, nothing in this world is free. Well, almost nothing. You can breathe the air for free but that’s about it. Point is, it costs money to make a movie.
Now, having said that, we live in some great times. Technology has made it so that we can make movies for under $200. Digital movie cameras today are very cheap and the software, even cheaper. In fact, some of the software you can get for free.
Point is, you don’t want to start making your movie without a budget. You need to sit down and figure out what you need and how much it’s going to cost. See, here is what’s going to happen if you don’t do this. What follows is a very simplified example but I am sure it will get the point across.
Let’s say you want to make your first movie and don’t give any consideration to budget or cost. You run out and buy the cheapest digital video camera that you can find and start shooting your movie. Great…now what?
Well, you later find out that because you bought a cheap camera, it doesn’t have certain features that allow easy downloading to PC. So you have to buy some kind of accessory to do this. You later find out that the movie format is only compatible with certain kinds of software that is VERY expensive.
Do you see where I am going with this?
By trying to take the cheap, quick, and easy way out, you can end up spending more money than you would have spent if you planned everything out in advance. That way, you would have gotten a video camera that is compatible with all kinds of software, even free software, and without the need for other accessories.
There is an old saying…haste makes waste.
It is especially true with making movies.
