This article will give you some simple tips for creating your own films.
Making videos is not hard if you follow some simple guidelines.
Shooting your own videos, your most important objective should be to tell a story.
The story that you tell is what will make your film remembered.
When crafting a story, you should follow the main guidelines for creating a script.
You are going to want to have a beginning, middle, and an end.
The first step to creating a story for your film is starting with a pitch.
A great story should be easily described in a few sentences.
The simpler you can describe it the easier it will be to understand.
A short and concise log line is better than a complex and hard to tell idea.
When you get a great pitch then you are ready to move ahead.
Do not start on the script writing process until you have a good foundation of what the story is about.
The Characters Objective Every great film has a character that is after something.
This goal can be to reach something, prevent something from happening, or a mix of the two.
A great movie, however, does not only have a goal and show it happening.
Conflict In any film, this is what will make the film interesting.
{It is not that people like seeing bad things happen to your characters, it is what they find out from it.
Watching the characters reactions to conflict is what makes the character remembered and liked.
The camera angles, the lights, everything will not make any difference if the story is bad.
Compelling characters make compelling performances.
As I stated earlier, the way the character reacts to conflicts reveals their personality.
To make these reactions authentic, you should try to develop the characters past, background, etc.
Give them a hometown, a family, friends, etc.
