    The Dark Knight Rises

    I'm glad they got Bane as the baddie, instead of Riddler. For me and what I have observed through comics and games/shows, the Riddler is more of a conniving baddie, similar to Joker. Like the "Dark Knight Joker", Riddler would rather attack Batman psychologically and play mind games with him...

    add tension to a scene?

    Simple handheld shots work. And quick zoom style shots or whatever thats called, work as well. Think The Office, when they zoom in to the face, to convey a sense strong emotion.

    POV filming, why isn't it used more often?

    I'm just saying this out of my own personal observation and experiences, but people tend to use POV shots as a "cheap" shot. Its easier to shoot. And like what everyone said, its WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY overused.

    Depth to a Short Film

    How do you guys add depth or deep characterization in a short film? I'm curious coz, its kinda hard to achieve some depth when you have so little time to build the story or the characters given the limited amount of time. I'm thinking like 10-20 mins?

    Conversation scenes.

    Hey guys I'm curious on how you guys shoot conversation scenes? Do you guys shoot the scene repeatedly with different angles (180 degree rule)? How do you maintain the consistency of the conversation?

    The Dark Knight Rises

    I really hope Nolan doesn't invent a bad guy or something. Like Sam Raimi was going to do for Spiderman 4, The Vultress?! WTH. Felicia Hardy?!

    The Dark Knight Rises

    It IS Nolan's last Batman in the franchise, he mentioned. Hey the bad guy could be Dick Grayson/Robin. Who knows? In Nolan's world anything realistic could happen. Since Batman is now a vigilante in the series, the government or whatever could hire a new caped crusader, hence Robin. They could...

    Getting kids to act.

    How would you or how do you direct children when acting? How do you make them act? How does it work when the story is a bit too much for their age? Do you guys tell the whole story, no matter how deep and complicated it is for them? Or do you just tell them what to do without them asking questions?

    Pros and cons of DSLR

    Its in the viewscreen. Those black lines aren't that visible. There not solid black lines, but when you look carefully you'd see them moving up and down like static. I think I encountered it when filming in dark places. I don't remember.

    Why call it "film" when you're using digital?

    During our thesis proposal, we all wrote in our papers that we would be doing a "short film". My professor said that we should change it to "short narrative video" instead since none of us would really use film to shoot. He does have a point, I mean why call it "full length film" or "short film"...

    Casting Friends

    I've always shot with friends, mainly because hiring semi-professional actor's here in the Philippines can be a real drag, coz they ask for too much. Also because friends are more accessible, you could contact them easily, and depending on the "level" of friendship you're in with them they're a...

    New Guy with a T2i
