I want to start making my own short movies…?
Question by LinnLovestruck<3: I want to start making my own short movies…?
So, I have a couple of questions.
1. Anyone have any tips for camera angles and things? We only have one camera, but I want to make the movies, like, good quality.
2. Anyone got any ideas on how to ask my friends about starring in it? I’ve not actually told them about the fact that I’ve been writing scripts, because it probably seems quite nerdy to them
3. What’s the best way to get the sound displayed really well? As I mentioned, I only have the camera, so would I have to have it on a really calm day so the wind doesnt mess it up, or what?
Thanks in advance!

1. to get more than one angle on shots w/ only one camera.. do the scene more than once and then pick the best angle during editing.
2. If they think what you are doing is “nerdy” then maybe they aren’t true friends. But I say ask them anyways, it would be something new and fun to do and alot of people like new experiences.
3. I’m not sure on the sound thing. I took a video production class, but it was only for a semester and my teacher didn’t know squat so I never really learned about sound. But calms days would be your best bet for now.. I can’t remember for sure but there was something you could do to lessen the noise of the wind. If you could buy a mic that would be a big help.
I have a video somewhere of one of the short films i did for the class if you wanna check it out. Just lemme know.
GOOD LUCK!
