Film Making; Take One

Film Making one of my oldest and now revitalized hobbies is not hard or costly. Producing and filming a movie is very easy now of days, for producing there are so many engines out there that can help u and guide u threw the process of your master piece, there are software's that fit a persons style. An Producer is usually the big guy behind the scenes pulling the stings. He is the guy who have to raise the money , keep an eye on the budget, hire a director and the rest of the crew, but being 19 i don't have access to a 100,000 dollor budget or i dont have a company to hire a crew. So i went online looked up some products that i could turn my little lap top into a studio. I belive with creativity and and unique shots a under $100 budget could have the same effect on an audiance as a hollywood one would. I always have good ideas for complicated but i would still need help with some such as shots in a car, so i went to a web site Filmmaking.net and i got a dew pointers....Shooting inside a car is simple but tricky. It often needs a bit of lengthy preparations and patience. There are three simple ways of taking a shot inside a moving car:

1) Place the camera inside the car. You can keep it on the rear seats while your subjects are in the front seats and get a nice 'over-the-shoulder' shot. Or you can shoot from the front seat while your subjects are in the rear seat and get a mid-shot. You can try placing the camera inbetween the two front seats.

Another method is to seat beside your subject and take a close-up shot. If two subjects are involved than take their shots separately and ask them to assume that they are talking to the other charecter. You can mix this two shots while editing and create the required sequence.
