Hey, I'm going to need a hospital too for some scenes that I plan on covering. Every hospital is different so you're going to have to contact the place where you want to shoot and speak to the person in charge of handling those facilities. What resources do you have that can make this process...

It all depends on what you want. Your goals will determine the method in which you choose to display your film.

Commercials can be made within 1-2 days so you can try to make commercials with some variety to them.

Congratulations on making it into the finals.

Like the other reply mentioned, its all about your execution of a particular film or video production. Based on what you described, my perception is that it will be a suspense/thriller film. However, that is up to you. It could also work well as a horror and maybe even a comedy depending on...

If you just want a dictionary-like book, the following publications may cover more parts of filmmaking than what you are looking for, but they also have chapters that provide explanations about what certain jobs/positions are included when someone makes a film: 1. The Complete Film Production...

Buy some dirt or sand from a home improvement store. That may help. For the spiderwebs, try finding a store that sells halloween stuff and you may be able to find a package of fake spiderwebs that you can buy.

I don't really get what you are talking about, but if you want additional options other than the software that you mentioned, you could try the Guerilla Production Software. Try checking out the features first before buying anything and then compare them to see which one fits best with your...

I am curious as to what you or your school does with the movies that are produced each year for such high budgets.

For female actors, you can have them put on some makeup....lipstick, mascara, eyeliner or lip gloss and have them wear some older looking jewelry. Stay away from the teeny bopper clothing too if you want an older look. Change their wardrobe to something that an older person would wear. For male...

You may be alright to use the footage if it does not contain any indentifiable parts of the campus, like you stated. You could try to show it to the president or head of the University or someone who works at an executive level there and get their input on whether you have infringed upon their...

Todd Haynes, Tarantino, Oliver Stone, Scorsese, Vincent Gallo. Michael Moore makes interesting stuff. His projects always envoke some kind of reaction from audiences no matter if those reactions are in favor of his movies or not in favor of them.

Get the rights to the movie. If you cannot secure the rights to show the film inside your film, then get the rights to a smaller film, such as and independent film. Find another filmmaker that you know and secure the rights to his or her film. It may be much cheaper than getting the rights to...

Only you will know what the best decision is to make. If you really want to be a filmmaker, you can do that no matter which path you choose. That means you can either choose to only be a filmmaker and scrap the doctor thing OR you can be a doctor AND a filmmaker. The most important thing is...

You may have limited options with an XL1 when it comes to the flexibility of being able to use different lenses. The XL1 isn't too giving in this area. However, it does produce a good picture and you will be able to get all of those nice bells and whistles that come with cameras that are of a...

With analog cameras like that, you can also try to get a video converter. They are these little boxes that have both digital and analog outputs and inputs. Sony made one years ago that costs like $300 but it may be cheaper now. You can find these converters online or at most stores that sell...

That appears to be a good camera, if you want to shoot on HD. It isn't really about the camera so much as it is about how you want to portray your short film/movie. Video is not film no matter if it is "High Definition" video or not. Also, how you shoot your short will determine if it will...

I agree with Kurt. Sound is very important. Hooking up your camera to the sound sysem where the microphones are that the speakers are using will provide you with a crisp audio track that also has the right levels, which will allow you to pick up everything that is being said, even if the speaker...

Try to search for local Theaters and contact the people who work on productions there. The season is pretty active around this time and if you live near a major city like New York, there should be an abundance of theaters that have old costumes laying around or at least can point you in the...

It all depends on what your future plans are and hopefully, you are thinking about them right now because this uis a very important time for you. Film School can give you lots of things such as access to the latest equipment and lots of knowledge on how to do things correctnly such as lighting...
