About Top 5 YouTube Channels For Indie Filmmakers:
Most People were forced to go to film-school because they got all kind of stuffs like camera which was very expensive in 19’s and all other filmmaking accessories .But today its not the case, the mobile in your pocket can do miracle if you are creative enough. Best way to learn something is to stop thinking about it and start working towards it. People say you need to have some kind of industry connection if you gonna make it, which is TRUE but CREATIVITY is the tool you really need to have . when you are creative enough one or the other day people are gonna start to recognize you, at least in today’s world.
If you are creative enough and you have a very good script which is very important when it comes to film and if your film is successful, you are going to survive in the industry or else i am afraid you barely have a chance in today’s competition. NOW, forget all about what you just read above , have some positive hope and start learning filmmaking. Today’s mobiles have very good camera and if you can afford Buy DSLR. Although there is no compulsion that you NEED to have an expensive camera, you can try shooting with the best camera you have. If you want perfection and great cinematic shots, you need more than a camera. Lights(the most important), reflectors, filters, tripods, Gimble(if needed) or a fly cam(for stable moving shots), a good quality mic, an editing software, tracks(if needed), a color palette (really important, but a bit expensive). All these equipments makes your movie 10 times better than it should be. But it depends on your budget. If your budget doesn’t allow all these, you can still shoot with your camera.
Here’s the list i would suggest to all first time filmmakers to get start the career in filmmaking.
- Indy Mogul
- Film Riot
- DSLRguide
