Make A Short Film With Your Family During the Christmas Holidays!Film-making is the process of conceptualising, shooting, editing and distributing a film or video. While the technology of making films has come a long way, it is now at a place where it is highly accessible to the general public. Almost every other family today has a video camera, simple video editing is possible even on reasonably advanced mobile phones; not to mention all personal computers, and sharing is easier than ever with growing social communication tools. Why not make a short film in the forthcoming Christmas Holidays ? It’s an exciting activity that the whole family can enjoy together, not to mention the enjoyment of watching the film in the years to come. The basics stages of making a film include pre-production, this involves working out a story idea, location and preparation, production, which basically means the actual shooting, and post production, which is the bit after the shooting is over, that is editing and adding sound. Complete these three stages and voila! You have your very own short film! The best way to keep things under control is to keep things simple! It’s your first film, and you want it to be a success. Assign roles to your crew. Who is the director? Who is in charge of location and props? Who is finalising the script, etc? Working together under these roles will not only be fun but give the whole family a taste of film-making. There are plenty of resources on the internet to help you get started with this exciting venture! |
