Well that's why I'm here!

First things first; you will need a good video camera, any good cam will do the trick, but obviously the better the camera the better exposure and quality of the video.

Step1: Make sure you have enough memory on your device to hold at least 2 hours of video, that's about how much time it takes to make a nice movie, two hours should give you enough space to mess up a bit and don't have to worry about it. (make funny bloopers for the end).

Step2: Have your "actors" ready for the shoot.

Step3: I suggest getting a nice tripod for long scenes because it'll be kinda tough to hold a camera really still for even 2 minutes. A decent tripod would cost about 10$ but then again its completely up to you!

Step4: After you've gotten a great idea for a movie and shot the movie, it's time for editing! Editing is by far one of the hardest aspects in making a professional grade movie. It is vital to have the best editing software in order to achieve that quality look you'd like.

Step5: The best cheapish video editor I know is called CyberLink PowerDirector. I use it for all my home movies, it adds excellent transitions, a wide variety of output video formats; like MPG, MPEG-4, AVI, WMA, and even PSP and iPod formats. It is a really fast, easy to use interface that require not-much experience to deal with. Also if you're using a MAC you could also use it's stock video editor, as it is much more easier to use, and FREE!

Step6: Upload your video to your computer using a cable or dock or whatever you use. Turn the FPS a bit higer to 32fps which will give it fluent movement and movie-like action!

That's all I'll say today maybe I'll make another revised version of this same guide. So stay alert for more from me!

Bye-Bye!

It helps when there is a filming plan with the location of where the film is going to be shot, the actors that have to be there and the time that certain scenes are going to be shot. There may also be a list of scenes so that the actor knows what to recite. Props may be listed next to the scene that would allow the director then to match the actor and the props he has to use for a specific scene. There is more to organization that just following a master plan.

When the novice filmmaker starts he has to see what professional people he is going to work with unless of course this is a student film and there is no budget for professional staffing or the filmmaker decides to work with his classmates to produce a project for a term project. Professional or not, ideally the filmmaker should respect the people he is going to work with in order to get moving smoothly.

I once found myself on a set equipped with a volunteer and then the producer decided to throw shit at the staff for having kept the production going into the wee hours of the morning. That negative discourse was counterproductive because it created resentment among the actors too who were required to stay awake longer than planned. So the filmmaker should keep to his schedule even if that means spending the extra money to keep the location for another day.
