I dont know a lot about the topic, but thought I would throw a few cents in for support. As far as I can tell, producers are more about getting things done than artistic expression. So the focus would be on money and people skills. This seems like a totally different sort of drive than "wanting...

Yes, you could come up with something very interesting that way. It reminds me of the French impressionist painters. They would walk out of their studios and paint their impression of the real world. They did it with oils, you do it with tape. It goes to the idea that the director is an artist...

Wow, started at 11. You will be an expert by the time you get through school. I'm trying to remember what it was like when I was 15. I think that all my art type activities got side tracked by girls. It's the hormones you see. They hijack your mind. If you are able to keep focus on several...

Did you notice how Narcissistic this film was? The way the whole history of the world depended on some film buffs? In fact on some old reels of film? As if the world revolves around movie directors. See, you know it's time to take a step back when you find yourself going down that path. He...

OK, so I have been trained in the creative process at art school. I figure it can be applied to any situation. Even film making. So this is how I do it, be interesting to see how it compares to other people's way of working. First I roll the idea around in my head for half an hour. I know I am...

Well as you can tell by my title, there is some good and some bad news on this one. It was a beautifully shot and engaging film. The plot was just complex enough to keep you interested without getting you confused. There were some truly original moments in this film. Unfortunately there was also...

Goood point! just do it. I just remembered about the make up ladies when you said that last point. I was (supposed to be) directing a TV thing ages ago, and the make up lady wanted to put softener on my skin even though I was not even on screen..I mean I was not even doing any work...I was...

As long as you don't expect a Big Studio film, it is an Indie production remember.

Just saw this last night. Not bad...not bad at all. But then again, I went in expecting the worst film ever. (thanks Colin) Of course the Special effects were perfect...I mean really perfect. The story was captivating, and the bad guys were really bad guys. The hero was very unusual, with a...

I like your idea. Well my big thing at the moment is how to guide the camera. I have come to look at it all in another way. What I think about first is.. "What emotion or sensation do I want to produce in the mind of the viewer?" Then I figure out what I need to do with POV, people, places and...

Are you sure you are 13? You are pretty smart for a 13 year old. Yes...what you have said is very good.

But what sort of things did you want to show by example? I was thinking that you want a perfect example of studio hollywood. and...An example of French New wave. and... A colorist example. A light-ist example. A character driven film. An Action driven film. A Concept driven film.. A spfx...

Yes, usually the remakes loose the quirky cool-ness of the origional work. That camera POV thing you talk about is interesting to notice. If the story doesen't pull you in so that you loose objectivity.. Those CSI type ones are over the top in that area. You might view from the POV of the bug...

Thanks for the pointers. My brother will have the DVD of the Aviator, he's an aircraft nut. I will have a watch and let you know ...It should be good from what I have heard of it. The Disney one is going to be more difficult to track down. will keep an eye out for it. It's interesting what you...

I have thought some more about this. After reading how Hitchcock "framed for emotion"I think I have a way to see this problem. So, how do I get the emotion of "wonder" at the sheer size and beauty of landscapes? Easy. You can't. A lot of the "wonder" of landscape comes from the 3d nature of...

I wish I could do that. Unfortunatly when I watch a film for the second time I have both my directors and viewers hats on. So my thoughts are something like this.... Good job acting as Harry Potter, Mr Radcliff, this drunk scene shows you have some range, why is Harry going to visit the giant...

Ohh that sounds bad. I think you might have film addiction. I think they put something in the popcorn. But seriously, are you watching the film as a punter, or are you breaking it down as a film maker. You know...nice angle, great lighting, how did they get the camera to do that ....that sort...

Yes I see what you mean. The cost seems to be the main problem. The whole equation is weighted to a local school with a weaker connection to the movie world...oh I don't know though...check out who your tutors will be...you might be surprised. Ps if you have relatives or friends of the family...

Did you mean Film or Video? Also what price range and age did you have in mind?
