Hints and Tips on Film Production

Dear all,

Over the summer break you need to start thinking about your film concept and making sure that your production skills are up to speed by the time you have to actually start editing your film.

So, in this post I have included a couple of sites which you may find useful for both research purposes and technical know-how.

www.firstlightmovies.com/how_to_ make_a_film (really well worth looking at this, as this organisation will fund films if you're under 19)

www.mediacollege.com/video/camera/tutorial

www.bbc.co.uk/films/oneminutesmovies/howto (editing sound and lighting are covered here)

www.ukfilmcouncil.org.uk/shortfilms (use for ideas and inspiration)
