Lights..
Camera...
Action...

Making out a Film is not just these 3 words...
An endless effort beyond these tasks makes the viewers to sit for some time forgetting all their tensions and travel with your creation.

Film making is not that easy...
And not that difficult too...

By following these simple steps while making out your own film., gives you some best results in your output.

Go through the following video.

SHOOTING COST depends on 3 FACTORS

                              Keeping pre and post productions a side, the production work; that means the shooting work of the movie costs more. Well, this is not applicable for the films containing more of animation works. For the normal feature films or short films, if the pre and post production works cost 30% , the remaining 70% cost is kept on production works., that means..., SHOOTING.

      

Over 60% of the films are not getting done within the budget margins. They are exceeding the estimated budget to at least some extent.

Why is this happening?

Not only the short films and documentaries...

This is even happening with big budget feature films which are lead by the most experienced and talented makers.

The only reason behind is..,

LACK OF BUDGET PLANNING

This is the only reason behind this issue.

So, budget planning is very very important for the film making team, especially for the production department to achieve the good result within the planned budget. In order to control the cost, first we have to know the key factors of money wastage.

On what factors the budget is strongly dependent?

Well, the budget of the project is majorly depending upon 3 key factor. They are :

    Number of locations      
    Number of artists                  
    Number of days of shoot                

The above mentioned 3 factors are the major causes for the increase or decrease of the film budget. 
      
                       Shooting is not a work with only few people. The artists, direction and cinematography team and number of other people have to collectively work for a single project. So, whenever a location is confirmed, the entire team consisting of huge number of people have to move to that location. This requires a huge amount of money. And the location costs includes the permission costs, security, equipment etc. So, less number of locations always saves the budget of the film.
                             Less luggage more comfort... The remuneration paid for the artists is one of the main production cost of the film. An artist can be recruited either in day based payment or the project based payment. But, ultimately, the remuneration gets finalized depending upon the length of the role of the person in the film. If the length of the role of that particular artist in the film is high, he demands more and if it is less, his remuneration will also be less. So, while writing the script itself.., it's better to write the script in such a way that it contains less number of artists. More of junior artists for ambient look, heavy star casting in the film leads to the consumption of more money.
                            And last but not the least, the number of days of shoot. Increase in the number of working days always increases the budget cost. So, schedules must me completed in time and maximum care should be taken to complete the shooting in the less number of days.

So, every film maker should keep the above 3 factors in mind in order to save the budget and complete the project in the boundary limits.

SHORT FILM with LEAST BUDGET

                              Every person who is interested film making tries to put his views on screen. He colors the pages with his creative thoughts and arranges all the necessities regarding that. And now., he steps into practical. As we know that the maximum number of short films are being made with the pocket money of the individuals, money factor plays a key role in it. 
All the works starts with money...  
And all the works stops for money...
Keeping in factor in mind, one has to bring out the best film...
How...???
Before going to those details.., let us have a question for ourselves.

Why does many short films stops in the middle?
Well, this problem is having many reasons. But, few genuine reasons are

• Money
• Interest
• Lack of proper equipment
• Lack of proper planning and
• Lack of proper knowledge

In the short world of short films, the above mentioned 5 factors plays a very important role in creating disturbances in making.

Maximum number of short films are not done by a production team. As said earlier, they are just done by a group of friends who are passionate about movie making. So, insufficient funds serves as the best cause of obstacles in the production time.

                    The next factor is the interest. Due to some causes like the postponement of the work, climatic conditions, other personal works, lack of coordination etc., makers looses their interest and it ultimately leads to the breakage of the project. So, one needs to be both passionate and patient while making the film. 

                   Due to the shortage of the equipment, many projects will be collapsed in the middle. No long run can happen if all the equipment of making is not in availability.

                  Planning plays a major role. It was observed that over 85% short films are not done according to the shot division. Maximum number of films are being done without planning and being stopped after few days.

                  The next important factor is the lack of proper knowledge. All the films may not be done by the professionals. There will be many starters and half knowledge people in making out the short films. They performs their tasks without appropriate knowledge. This shows a great impact on the films and this may even cause the middle drops of the project. 

And now, let us learn few tips to make the short film with minimum budget

• First fix a budget for the film. Make sure that the film gets started only if all the money which is planned to put is ready in the hands.
• Plan the number of days of shoot very aptly. At any cost, never try to exceed that duration. Increase in the number of days of shoot increases the budget in parallel.
• Always try to prepare the story according to the planned budget. Everything depends upon the ideology of the script writer and the director. In the budget boundaries, try to project the thoughts as rich as possible.
• Team plays the major role here. Try to arrange the team with the reasonable remuneration. But don't get compromised in the arrangement of cast and crew. We can taste the best only if the ingredients are best.
• Try to avoid the useless expenditures while the shooting is going on. Reduce the expenditures for events like food and travelling. If the food and travelling expenses are reduced, you can save a lot.
• Never ever get compromised in the post production work. At the same time, never have a blind step in the post production work. Try to extract the best output with the least budget. First, have a deep survey of the post production work stations like editing and dubbing studios in your locality and go for the best among them. Always watch the demos of the studio in which you are going to proceed.
• The last but not the least. Put one person in the team exclusively for the financial affairs. His role is to manage the flow of production. Note down the expenses at every step. Either the item which you buy costs less or high., note down the cost and at the end of the day, you will know the cost of that particular day and the remaining budget in your hands. This makes you to act accordingly for the next working day.

By following the above few tips, you can surely reduce the cost of making a short film. Always keep a single point in mind. Each and every penny spent by you must be worthy on the screen.

How to prepare SCRIPT for SHORT FILMS

Script preparation of feature films involves several processes. But a short film can be made without all that stuff. A basic knowledge on some aspects are enough to achieve a good script.
The scripting part of the story consists of 3 major categories.

• Story
• Screenplay
• Dialogues

But, there is one more thing to prepare before going into these works. That is "Single line Order" preparation. Single line order or one line order is the short form of writing content of the film. To say more accurately, the story of the film will be written in a rough manner in a very short size which can be explained in 5 to 10 minutes to anyone.

The single line order helps to get a clear base for the writer to prepare the entire script and it also helps him to narrate the story in a short time to his team or any others without any difficulty and without making them to feel bored.

[ Few people first goes with the story and then they prepares a one line order for easy narration. This process can be done according to the writer's comfort. But preparing the one line order primarily is suggestible advice as it would be easy to compose the story with this as a base line. ]

The next step is the STORY.

With this one line order as the base, the story gets elaborated. The entire story of the film will be written in few pages as we read a story in a book. The story may also be considered as the blue print of the movie.

Next, we'll step into SCREENPLAY

In this section, the written story will be written in the form of number of scenes. The presentation of the film completely depends on the screenplay itself. More number of scenes may increase the time duration which may not be apt for a short film and the less number of scenes may not put the exact content which we want to project. So, a lot of care must be taken while writing the screenplay.

Now, the scenes are ready for the DIALOGUES

Dialogue writing is the most important task. The conversations among the characters must be interesting and apt. A viewer gets connected to the movie with complete attention if the dialogues are properly written.

They must be prepared by keeping few parameters like artist's dialogue delivery, their character, mood of the scene and the intensity required. Anything higher or lower than the required feel in the dialogue may look awkward.

These are the basic things to know for the script preparation.

[There is a separate format of script writing used officially which will be explained in the further posts. As it is not so easy for a starter to understand it, i din't explained that format here.]

[There are number of theories, precautions, rules and regulations for the preparation of script which will be discussed in the further posts. But this basic information is enough for making a short film. The entire subject of the script writing is a deep subject. i'll surely give my best to let u know about them in the further posts.]
