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, the story should be emphasized. There needs to be a proper story to what you plan to make since that is basically what will buckle the viewers to their seats during the screening of your movie in a silver screen. The good story you present to them makes the viewers forget about your small budget.

Pick the best location for your filming while considering the cost for moving from one place to another. When you are filming the movie, you will have to move not only the movie crew but the machines and equipment as well. You must pick a location that will allow you to avoid moving from one place to another so many times.

Picking the best camera for this is highly recommended. The camera chosen for the filmmaking must not only fit the budget you have but also the script you have chosen. You can choose from a wide variety of cameras in the market nowadays. You should make sure to have a good choice if you are choosing the camera to purchase.

The sound is a very important component. What makes a good film is when the sounds match really well with what the people are seeing. Learn how to capture good and clean sounds since that can add mover value to the movie you are filming right now. That includes the musical score of the film.

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.

You can count on friends for most things. However, that will be another matter if it is about acting for your movies. Instead of asking friends who are untrained actors to help out, it is better to spend money hiring the ones who have gone through proper training. Untrained friends will just waste time and resources.

Better build a loyal following. The first time might be a bit difficult but you have to steadily accumulate your loyal fan base. If you do that, then the producers can get an idea about you. Producers who take notice of your craft can help you with the budget in your next production. Your loyal fan base is what makes that possible.

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.
