How A Short Film Director Makes Movies With Zero Budget

By Kathrine Franks


If you are really interested in making films, it is only natural that you get yourself involved with filmmaking. You can become anything you want. If you plan to become a short film directory, then you have to prepare yourself to start from scratch. During filmmaking, here are valuable tips you can remember when filming with low 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.

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.

The camera you will be using for your films must be the right kind for your script as well as your budget. There are many cameras nowadays that range from ones amateurs can use and ones that are good in the hands of experts. You must look out for that kind of camera which you can actually use for the movies you make.

Sound is essential to a movie. If a person wants to create a compelling film that evokes the appopriate kind of emotions within the viewers, then one must put in the proper sound. Capture the right quality for all sounds as well as put in the right musical score to put more value into the films you are making right now.

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.

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.

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.
