Filmmaking Tips For Short Film Director On A 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.

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.

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.

Be as organized as possible. You do not want to waste time just to find that one missing screw in the stage set. It is definitely unforgivable if there is one in your movie crew who is not organized. It can hamper the smooth progress of this shooting. You must improve your organizational ability then.

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.

Do not simply rely on your luck. Aside from luck, you must give your best foot forward to whatever one is working on. Karma also plays a vital role in this. Be sure to have the right integrity and passion for the said work as well. These are the factors that can help you earn success in this filmmaking industry.
