Question by Kayleah: How to Make A movie ( Directors Only )?
Ok, I would like to make a movie. And it’s alot hareder then just to pick up a video camera and film. You need actors props and the story base and many other things! I would like to say i am 12 years old and i am very creative and smart and talented and i always wanted to be a director when i grow up. So, why not strat now! I have a camera no green screen i have actors and props. I would like to mkae a 1 hour movie at least. On the subject of a horror movie. I now those are hard movies to make because alot of times there really cheasy but, I have actors who are willing to do this. I have the place and the props. But i need some background! If i have to buy a green screen i will! But i have a pretty big house and i can do this. I would like to make it into a CD also how would i do that? Anyways i have the plot on the movie i just need to know how to make the movie into a CD of the video camera and any suggestions on what the movie should be about, like I was thinking of a killer going on a killing spree and children envoled. 5 stars best answer, I need real answers detailed would be nice.

You’ll have to look and see what kind of ports you have on the camera. The easy way to do this would go to a place that sells cameras and ask for help. Most prosumer cameras have S-video ports, some may have a USB (micro or mini) port, better cameras may have firewire, but many will only have composite cables, which you’ll need a compositet to USB thing for. Again, you’ll also have to check your computer to find out what the other end needs to be (USB, fire wire, s-video).
Don’t forget to edit also!! If you have a PC you should have windows movie maker on there. It’s not a very good editing system, but it’ll allow you to cut the film together. If you have a mac, it will have imovie on there somewhere, which is better to learn on, especially if its the newest imovie that is a lot similar to final cut pro than the old version.
As a director, understanding the principles of editing are important because you’ll want to be able to talk to your editor and really be able to get on the same page together.
