I am fairly certain this "under certain amount of seconds" rule is probably the stupidest thing I've ever heard, and has probably harmed lots of peoples production. It would be like saying you can steal candy from a store, but only a certain amount of them. Unless your film is a Paraody of an...

Hehe I would highly suggest reading them all if you ever get into production. Neil Gaiman is probably the strongest author of Surrealism and Abstractism today, especially in the subjects of Heaven, Hell, Gods and Death.

Wow very complex. You might want to read Neil Gaiman's Sandman sereis before pursuing all your ideas...they arn't too similar, but they are in the process of making a Sandman movie, and Neil Gaiman has a horde of fans who might be upset if some of your ideas are too "similar". I'm sure your...

Well thats a lot of Pros for starting big and getting small. I wonder if there is any cons, there must be some but I can't think of any.

Thats a great tip Will Vincent. I would also suggest to use Will's idea when deciding what shots you want and what order you'll do them in for another reason. The actors will feel more ease if you start far out and slowly move to their close-ups, its more a gradual process for them to get ready...

Shooting two cameras at once seems to bring up concerns for Indy Filmmakers who may only be able to rent or purchase one quality camera at a time, and thus the consistancy in quality of shots throughout the film may suffer.

Howdy, I am just wondering how everyone goes about getting different shots when shooting particular scenes. Lets use a basic scene for an example for fun, and then everyone can pitch how they would want to shoot it in order to get the best scene, and the best shots to work with when editing...

I can just envision a murder with the camera angles changing very quickly, and in one quick shot instead of blood spurting out like it is in every other fluid is bursting out in one shot (her water is broken). Once the murder is over, a shot of the mother's dead lifeless face and complete...

I noticed something, the fridge is shot being open when he is lying on the floor, yet when he goes to get the bottle of water...he opens the fridge. Besides that I thought it was great, not my type of film, I like it better when you don't have to think but it was good none the less.

Its too hard to rate movies, they all are the best in different ways. But if you asked me not to be a pussy and just list them, this would be it. 1) Boogie Nights 2) Kill Bill 1 and 2 3) Requeim for a Dream 4) Dreams (Yume) 5) Pulp Fiction 6) City of God 7) Cold Mountain 8) Gone with the Wind...
