As the world is changing, so is the entry of a new filmmaker, to put 4 moons in this sad life, we will tell you that how can you make short films.
t occurred to me that it might be helpful to new (and perhaps some old) filmmakers if I put down some pointers/opinions on how to make a good short film...
1. The Script
You can make a bad film out of a good script but not vice versa. Write a script. Then rewrite it. Then rewrite three more times. If a scene does not move the story forward, cut it!
2. Show Don't Tell
If you can say something visually, do this instead of using dialogue. Dialogue should be the last thing you add to a script anyway. Take a look at my most favourite films.
3. A Short Film Is Not A Feature Film
Don't give a festival director or anyone a reason to turn off. Do not pace your short like a feature! No one cares about it like you do. You have to get into your story quickly.
4. Storyboard It
Even if you can only draw stickmen, storyboard your film. Do this as early as possible. Let everyone see them and refer to them during the shoot. Be flexible but don't forget them!
5. Cast It
It's tempting to use friends. Unless they are trained actors or just darn good you will be creating trouble. There are many talented actors. Do not be afraid to interview them.
6. Crew It
Get people involved if you can but make sure they have defined roles. A cinematographer, 1st AD (or producer performing this role) and sound recordist are the most important roles.
7. Give Yourself Time To Film It
Almost every film overruns. Experience helps but the more time you give yourself, the less mistakes you will make filming it. It will save you money in the long run!
8. Tripods Have A Use
Unless there is an aesthetic reason for your film to be handheld use the legs! But if you want to have that handheld look, don't go overboard. It can be offputting.
9. Sound Is Important
Much sound is added in post production. Even dialogue can be added. However, make sure you have a sound recordist on set to get the best sound you can. Unless you are skilled in sound mixing, bring someone in who can do this for you.
10. Grade It
Along with sound, the most obvious marker of an amateur film. If you want your short to feel professional or "filmic" it should also be graded. Shots will need matching up at any rate.
