How A Short Film Director Makes Movies With Zero Budget

By Kathrine Franks


For people who are expressing interest in filmmaking, it is recommended to them to become a part of the movie crew. In fact, they might want to become a short film director. Even with a low budget, they can go filming. Here are some of the valuable tips that a person can take advantage of when filmmaking with a very low budget.

First, the story should be emphasized. There needs to be a proper story to what you plan to make since that is basically what will buckle the viewers to their seats during the screening of your movie in a silver screen. The good story you present to them makes the viewers forget about your small budget.

There should also be emphasis on the location. This is actually what makes the whole movie expensive. Moving your team and equipment from one location to another can be really expensive. That is why it is highly recommended that you find a location that is good enough for movies but will not eat up into your budget.

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.

A very essential component to your movie is the sound. What creates the best films are the sounds that are added as effects as well as the captured sounds of actors and actresses working their magic in front of the camera. Even the musical score has a high value when it comes to filming so better capture it right.

You must learn to be organized in your work. Avoid wasting your time with insignificant things like finding missing screws to complete your stage set. If one is unorganized, that would be unforgivable. Make sure to polish your organizational abilities then if one does not want to waste your efforts and time.

You can count on friends for most things. However, that will be another matter if it is about acting for your movies. Instead of asking friends who are untrained actors to help out, it is better to spend money hiring the ones who have gone through proper training. Untrained friends will just waste time and resources.

Have a loyal fan base. You can usually enjoy a loyal following if you successfully and steadily produced films that other people can see. If you have a loyal viewers base, then the producers might come to notice your works. Producers are the ones who will be spending for the production of films so catching their attention is good news.

Never rely on luck alone. Remember that luck is just a part of what you need to success. You also need to put in hard work and wait for karma to come around. Just maintain your passion and integrity in your work and you could then achieve the success you are dreaming of.
