See if you're shooting a microfilm, a movie or a DV movie.

Let me talk about the preparation of a micro-movie, which is the simplest and least expensive.

1, find a good script

2. Write a storyboard (if it's not so professional, you don't have to write it, and you have to think about how to shoot every shot in your mind)

3. Prepare funds and make a good budget (microfilm generally needs a minimum of 2000- 100000, which can be increased or decreased according to the script, etc.).

4. Recruit leading actors (leading actor, leading actress, No.2 male, No.2 female and other important supporting roles. Generally, people who make micro-movies are friends and relatives in order to save money.

5. Recruit staff (camera, makeup, art, field notes, etc.). In order to save money, some unnecessary staff are not needed, depending on the script budget. For example, the make-up in "Soul" shot by the black spirit is particularly important and indispensable. Another example is Lu Zhengyu's "One Man Half", where the makeup artist is not so important. If there are not many close-ups, there is no need for a makeup artist. )

6, buy props (props needed in movies, common to buy, rare to rent)

7. Renting equipment (it is not realistic to buy a complete set of equipment for filming micro-movies. Generally, it is rented. Simple micro-movies include 2 cameras, a track, a crane, a board, a computer with spotlights and a hood. All right. Special film and television equipment is rented by the company, which is expensive and generally not suitable for micro-movies. )

8. When everything is ready, look for the scenes that will appear in the script, or negotiate or rent it (for example, in a hotel, you usually have to greet the staff above the manager level).

9. Start shooting

10, after shooting, cut the film (most microfilms are shot with digital equipment, you can directly connect to the computer and cut the film with software, and the simpler one is "sound and shadow")

1 1. Make the credits, credits and subtitles.

12, making the opening song or ending song or episode.

13, with background music. If it is not broadcast live on the radio, it needs to be accompanied by scene sounds and dialogues.

14, find the publishing website after everything is done! Generally, there are very few micro-movies that can be released, and they are basically placed on video websites, and few can make a profit. Even if there is, it is profitable by implanting advertisements, and there is basically no profit in issuing micro-movies.

It's tiring to play so much by hand. I hope to give you the best answer.
