Wanna make a short film...?

Question

I love Cinema.Yesterday I was thinking that I should make my own film.I have no academy degree related to cinema and I know nothing about Cinema's Theory.Should I just start and learn while I am making the movie???Or i should learn the theory and start after???

What kindda camera should I use???What is the price range for these type of cameras???

What do u call the movies that have no actor in it and the movie is just the view(vision) of the narrator sjhown in the camera???

Answer 1

Well u should maybe learn and then make a movie. Making a movie is much more difficult than u may think (not 2 discourage u tho!) so yea. It shouldn't take too long tho, just learn the basics and stuff.

try reading this wikipedia article http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Film_theory

and also u may find this interesting http://www.mtsu.edu/~jpurcell/Cinema/pla...

maybe try this book? I read a little of the synopsis and u may be interested..sorry if it dosn't help tho
