Everyone,
Planning my first movie. miniDV.... handheld. Being honest, I've no idea how to do this professionally. I just really want to do this 'cause I've worked hard on the script and I've always wanted to make a movie, since I was a kid. I'm currently in college, trying to get my film direction degree. But currently, there are no film classes. I have to wait a year or more for those classes... I don't wanna wait. But I have to. That's not gonna stop me, however, from doing this on my own... with friends.
How would light a movie, especially when I don't have lighting equipment (poor, lol)? Any other advice or compensations?
Anyone know where I can get an "affordable" microphone? With a boom?
I've made shorts before. It was okay. I notice my direction is... impatient. Any advice on direction? And I know I can act. But friends I'm working with -- some aren't "actors."
Anyway, the main thing is, I need a lot of advice. Particularly on lighting. And it's most likely black and white... trying to have a "noir" feel. Dark and forboding... but I probably shouldn't aim for that, since I am an amatuer. lol. Just the basics?
Thanks.
