• Advice For Filmmaking Students

    Posted by Maura on at

    Filmmaking is a journey. No one ever masters it, but every step teaches you something new. You can use what you learn to become a unique and creative storyteller. Ideas are everywhere, so don’t be afraid to think outside the box and try something new. Believe in yourself and you’ll create something beautiful!

    If you currently study Filmmaking at University, here are three tips that can help you make the most out of this experience:

    1. Put in the effort and do your own research. Research is important if you want to become a better filmmaker. Read books, watch movies, attend workshops, and discuss with mentors and colleagues to find out what makes a good film.

    2. Theory helps, but practice builds skills. Make sure you get plenty of practice. You can do this by creating sample projects or shooting short films. Doing this regularly will help you become a better filmmaker.

    3. Constructive feedback helps you find your flaws and better your skills. If you want to become a better filmmaker, you should always welcome feedback and constructive criticism. Ask for feedback from your teachers and peers and use this to improve your work.

    Thank you for this great advice. My brother-in-law told me about producing short films a few years back, if I had taken his advice I’d be a lot further by now. But better late than never. I’m writing my first short film, it’s gonna be 15 minutes long. 🎬
