How To Direct A Movie As A Kid
So let's say you have decided you want to start directing movies. Now that you've decided, it is time to actually start. You can learn a lot by reading a ton of books and watching a lot of movies. You can't just read all the time though. You need to learn by doing.
So, what do you need to know?
Are you going to make a simple little short or are you going to make a feature length movie? Before you begin you need to decide. If you want to make a feature length movie then you will need to make a lot of decisions. When deciding you have to consider these things:
1. Budget
If you decide to make a short film then you need to decide how much you are going to spend. You need to decide on your shooting day rate.
If you want to have an assistant-ship then you can set your rate from the amount of money you can save by using assistants.
If you decide to hire people yourself, you can set your rate as low as you want. You can make around $500 to $2,500 for a day.
So, how much are you going to charge your actors? How much are you going to charge for equipment rentals?
What about transportation? I usually charge my actors $200 for a day and $200 for equipment rental.
This means that you have to pay $350 for the day and $200 for equipment rental.
The point is this. Make a list of all the things that are needed to make your movie and estimate how much it will cost.
Then you can choose your pricing to try and make sure that you make as much as you can with the money you have.
2. Time and how much time do I need to do the project?
A short film will usually take 3 or 4 days to shoot and 2 or 3 days to edit. A feature film will take about 10 days to shoot and 5 or 6 days to edit.
A feature film may take more than 10 days to edit but the amount of time it takes depends on a lot of factors.
Let's try and figure out how long it takes to make a feature film.
If you want to make a feature length movie then you are going to need at least 10 days. Let's say you want to shoot it in 4 days.
If you think about how long it takes to do each day of filming, this means that you need to make $500 a day. If you shoot all 4 days in a week, this means that you will need $1200 a week.
If you want to make a short film, then it takes only 3 days to shoot. So, if you film a week of days in one week then you will need $250 for a week. This means that it takes $250 for a week.
If you want to make a feature length movie then it takes at least 8 weeks of shooting. If you shoot it all in a week, then this means that you need $6000 per week.
It takes 4 weeks of making the movie before you will see your money.
A feature will usually cost at least $30,000 to make. If you want to make a short film, then it will cost $1500.
If you want to make a feature length movie, then it will cost at least $50,000 to make.
If you want to make a short film, then it will cost $12,000.
Let's Try a Question!
If you do want to make a feature film, then you are going to need at least $30,000 to make.
If you want to make a short film, then it will cost you $1500. This means that it will cost you $12,000.
If you want to make a feature length movie, then you are going to need at least $30,000 to make.
If you want to make a short film, then it will cost you $12,000. This means that it will cost you $12,000.
If you want to make a short film, then you are going to need at least $12,000 to make. If you want to make a feature film, then it will cost at least $30,000 to make.
This means that it will cost you $12,000.
3. How much money do I need to shoot a movie?
The first thing you need to know is how much money you have.
If you don't have a lot of money, then you will probably need to spend a lot of money to shoot a movie.
Let's say that you want to make a short film and you have $1000. You can shoot it in 3 days if you need to.
If you think about it, this means that you can make $300 a day.
It is good to have at least that much money to spend on shooting the movie but you may not have this amount. It is good to have at least $1000.
If you have a lot of money then you can take out a loan. This is a good idea because the bank will lend you money at a low interest rate, which is perfect for you.
You will not lose the money. You can pay it back very fast, so you can be sure that you will not lose any of the money.
