[Frameworks] New filmmaker

Dear all, I decided to start making my own films. Which camera shall I buy? Which principles do I have to bear in mind? Any advice welcome. Many many thanks, Eleni Filippou ___ FrameWorks mailing list Frame

Re: [Frameworks] New filmmaker

Hi Eleni, You've probably opened up a can of worms with your question! :) In my opinion, the simplest answer to your second question is to seek a balance between technical understanding and conceptual strength - if either are too lacking, a film suffers. Good luck! Bryan On Mon, May 5, 2014 a

Hey Eleni - Figure out a way of planning that works for you. Keeping a notebook or sketchbook, using post-it notes or index cards, researching - these activities often support the filmmaker through the making process . . . You can write with pencil on paper or with a computer. Short/simple pie

Also, its a bit more searching in this digital age, but you can do the same thing with a couple of VCRs and a TV (and thrift store tapes) or some film rewinds, a viewer, and a splicer (and discarded 16mm films). On Mon, May 5, 2014 at 8:14 PM, LJ Frezza wrote: > If you have a computer, I'm from

Re: [Frameworks] New filmmaker

Learning to edit before starting to shoot on your own may not be for everyone, but I think it's an excellent suggestion. You may even want to pursue this for a while before shooting, but if you then want to shoot on your own, your shooting will be informed by what you have learned to do with ed
