The Day after a film shooting.

The capacity for movies to contain many layers of meaning and the movie-maker’s ability to manipulate the passage of time means the short is an art form in its own right.

We must always be aware of the time not only because we worrying not finishing the film. Because lighting is different especially on sunrise and sunset.

If a week is a long time in politics, 1 minute of movie can sometimes feel like an hour. It takes a long time to shoot a minute of video.

While writing. We try to write indoor scene wherever possible. That way, we are not at the mercy of weather, shop owners and police or curious bystanders.

Sound recording is infinitely easier too, with far few erratic and unpredictable noises to cope. It is easier to keep equipment safe and secure, and catering be easier to arrange.

Using one location. A clever low-budget trick is to set story in one location, involves less moving about and less setting up time.

Keeping production simple means few distractions for the cast, who spend less time setting bored and cooling emotionally a common problem for non-pro actors.

Keeping character to minimum. Keeping dialogue to minimum, using action to moving.

Problem
The location we have chosen seemed big enough at time but when you arrives the crew it seem too small, with hardly any space in which to work.

Analysis
It is quite possible there is adequate space, we just need to make use of it officially see if you can adapt the storyboard or composition to exploited the space and unpack our equipment tidily.

Solution
Survey space and work out how best. The bulkiest item are usually the light If we need to remove furniture that that is not in short do it before the gear is brought in.

Actor’s expression and gestures may suddenly become more natural once they think shooting is over. A few second of footage of natural gestures or unlimbered laughter, for example can come in useful during editing?

Casting
one important factor in the determining the budget of a film is assessing the cost of above the line vs. below the line talent. To keep the budget low we cast for actors who want to build a resume and are willing to work for free.

We choose crew members who are willing to work for free. Use available resources for props, costumes and locations. Shoot during the day. Night shooting requires additional lighting and takes times to shoot.

We have difficult attracting actors to the audition because we did not put out general audition notice long enough. We have posting on websites like mandy.com and announcements on the the local internet groups.

Actors should bring extra cloths.
