Book description
So you want to make a film? It's the only way to get into the film
industry. No one's going to let you play with the kind of money it
takes to make a feature film until you've already proven yourself by
making a great short film. You can do that at film school - if you can
afford to go to film school. If you can't, then you're going to have
to make your films without money. You're going to have to film on a
microbudget - like Shane Meadows, who made Where's The Money, Ronnie?
before TwentyFourSeven, and Guy Ritchie, who made The Hard Case before
Lock, Stock And Two Smoking Barrels. With the technology available
today, it's easier than ever to make a short film without the benefits
of funding, but digital cameras and editing systems are only part of
the story. The most important thing is you, the film-maker. This
Pocket Essential gives you all the information you need to put
together a short film production Â- from first ideas and script,
through planning, casting and location scouting, to shooting, editing
and distributing.
