How to make a movie
It made me
Happy + Proud
 "It brought out a creative side that i didn't think i had. But to be honest i only got by with a little help from my friends =]"
How I did it: I brainstormed plenty of ideas, some just really idiotic and some too ambitious. Wrote a synopsis the and drew a storyboard with help from a really artistic mate, took a couple of photographs of my locations and settings to help establish my misenscene with help from my best mate who's a photographer. Asked a few more mates to star in my film and at first appointed another friend as cameraman so i could focus on directing but then decided to take a more active role as the maker of meaning and took over filming. Started editing my film which took 3 days as i had to choice what music to use as the films non-diegetic sounds. Again with this i had help as my friends made various suggestions. Overall the film turned out great and i'm really proud and thankful that my friends were so helpful and patient with me. Lessons & tips: Find something that inspires you. Have fun with it. Don't stress if things don't fall into place as quickly or in the way you hoped. And remember the immortal Beatle lyrics.

How I did it: Mine wasn't a "movie" movie: I converted 8mm film from the 1960s - 1980s to DVD for family for a Christmas gift. I first projected the film from the 8mm projector onto the screen, and recorded it with my digital camcorder on a tripod. The house didn't have to be quiet, because the 8mm are silent and we planned on putting the movies to our own music. I later discovered it worked far better to project the films about 18" … Read how I did it…
