How to Make a Movie

When i started out with filmmaking, the net was a bit too overwhelming for me, since most of the articles on filmmaking were to advanced or too amatuer.  Now that i have some experience in filmmaking, i thought the least i can do is to give back to the people who took time and wrote down their experiences on the web, So i decided to  make a 4 part video tutorial which will visually show you and guide you with filmmaking.

I am from a typical middle class Indian family, thankfully my father encouraged my filmmaking craze and supported me throughout (dont worry the emotional ranting ends here). So, in order to follow these tutorials, you will need the following:

•  A simple entry level Camcorder ala Handycam (if you dont have one borrow it from your friends, thats what i do…i am serious)
• A simple idea for a movie
• A actor or a few (your friends and family are more than enough)
• zero cash (maybe a few bucks for water and snacks)
• An average computer with windows xp running on it (you can go to a internet parlour as well)

I swear, this is all you need…But dont think that the end result will be a below average home video. With my tutorials , i will make sure that you atleast reach semi-proffesional standards. How? By making the MOST of what you have, and you wont believe what you can do nowadays..

By the way, this guide is called “How to make a movie with a zero budget“…

This product is divided into 4 video tutorials:

Scriptwriting: Which includes the introduction and basic guides to converting your wacky ideas on to paper. A few references to storyboarding and shot division as well..

Principle Photography: Basically shooting your film. It will include basics of handling the camera, making the best of the surroundings and cheap ways to do some industry tricks.

Editing: The crucial part, which includes both video and audio editing. The softwares used will be Windows Movie Maker,audacity and some other free softwares.

Finishing the film: A minor understanding of how to promote your videos on the web and various basic copyright laws.

And the best part is, all this will be absolutely free!! YES thats right, all these amazing features for 0 bucks (i know, i sound like the infomercial guy).

I hope , this will help you guys in some way, and if the responses are good you can expect more tutorials.

ps: This product will be available at Pixobyte and on my site in the tutorial section.
