Filming

There is so much to learn when it comes to filming and a lot of information on the internet can make things feel overwhelming. I have researched this topic and I haven’t even begin to scratch the surface of the amount of knowledge out there on the subject. I learn more and more each day and that is amazing. However, now it is time to actually start putting what I have learned into practice. It is time to start actually shooting film, getting better at framing and other aspect of film work. 

Then there is the editing of all the footage you record. There is so many apps you can use to do this and some of them have a major learning curve. Something I haven’t even remotely started to manage. This is a skill that I am not sure I will every get down, but I am going to try my best. The best way to learn sometimes is learning by doing and getting better as you go along. Learning what works and what doesn’t. Making the whole process your own and changing things until everything works in the best way for you. 

I hope to be able to take what I have learned and put it into practice. The more I practice the better I will get. I don’t feel there is a way to master filming, but I could be wrong. I think there is always something new to learn and something new to try. Something that will make the film you are trying to shoot that much better or more exciting. They call it creative or movie magic, is it really magic or is it really more based on skill and pushing the envelope on what the standards are?
