Movies are one of the most exciting, rewarding, and stressful
undertakings a person can experience in the world today—and that’s exactly why
I want to make them for a living. Unfortunately, I had a late start, having
only come to this realization back in high school when I took a video class on
a whim. However, my interest has not wavered since day one of that class and I
fully intend to turn this passion into a career.
With this blog, I hope to teach others about how to go about
creating their own films—from the equipment to how to frame a shot. I am currently a student
at IUSB studying New Media. I’ve done tons of research both in and out of
class, learning different techniques and practices used in video and have a
very solid foundation to get anyone started.
Granted I don’t know everything, but I find the best way to learn something is to try and teach it to someone else—so this is a learning experience for you as much as it is for me.

As you can tell by now, this blog is targeted towards those who
have no prior knowledge of making film. But like all art, there’s no one right
way to make something. Art is subjective—each creator has their own style and
is constantly learning from each other’s work. So even if you know a
lot about film-making, you may still find something useful.
This is actually an interesting topic. I myself have often considered trying film-making or at least learning about it for when I take up writing such scenes in my own works. Now are you going to try and discuss different genres of film-making or just the basics and how to get started? I'm curious as to what I'll see later on, though I know it will be something rather interesting regardless of what it is.
ReplyDeleteIt will mainly be focusing on the basics of film-making, lighting, audio, camera, shooting techniques, DIY equipment. I can definitely use examples of media from different genres but the overlying goal is to help an average joe get involved in the wonderful world of film-making. Or you're very own Youtube blog--whatever interests you.
