When Starting As A Young Filmmaker, What Do You Think You Begin Learning First?

when starting as a young filmmaker, what do you think you begin learning first?

Hi Anon,

There’s no set thing to start learning first. Everyone starts somewhere and it’s basically based on individual circumstances and preferences. I used to write stories when I was little, which could be interpreted as my first taste of screenwriting. I also had a cheap digital camera that I would set on a tripod and direct my friends for little sketches. Later, I started making films more seriously and got a hold of editing software for cheap. That’s how I started, but it’s different for everyone.

If your looking for where you should start, my advice would be to start with what your interested in. If you like writing, try screenwriting. If you like directing or cinematography, grab a camera and some friends and start filming. Some people start with basic recording and editing, such as filming weddings, taking graduation photography, or making montage videos of family vacations.

I recommend checking out some online sources to learn some film basics, such as youtube channels. The following posts may be helpful:

DSLRs and camcorders for beginners

Best,

Jules

Alright So, There’s A Lot Of Crowd Scenes In This Animatic So I Thought Of A Fun Idea. DO YOU WANT

Alright so, there’s a lot of crowd scenes in this animatic so I thought of a fun idea. DO YOU WANT TO BE A BACKGROUND CHARACTER IN MY ANIMATIC? I’ll choose five random people from the reblogs. So if you want to join reblog this! There’s time until October 8th!

This is important.

Reasons why I need the A in LGBTIAQ to stand for Asexual, not Ally

Because my mother told me that all I needed to do was get drunk and lie back and let my husband have his fun. Because if I was drunk, I’d be more relaxed and it’d be over sooner

Because my sister told me that I was trapping my husband in an abusive marriage, and that one day he was going to leave me

Because both of them looked at me in disgust

Because my asexuality is considered to be as great a crime against my husband as a woman who has affairs and cheats on her husband

Because my cousin didn’t even try to understand, and just kept asking ‘but what about in five years? how will you feel then?’

Because I was so afraid of my body and so afraid of sex that I didn’t seek medical help for a legitimate question for over a year for fear of being labelled a deviant or something broken

Because I still ask myself at least once every day if my husband wouldn’t be better off without me

Because I still ask myself at least once every day if I’m broken

Because I still tell myself at least once every day that I’m pathetic and useless and an abnormality

Because I love my husband with every fiber of my being, but everywhere I turn I’m told I really don’t, because love = sex

I need A to stand for Asexual because nobody ever talked to me about asexuality even when I was an outpatient at the women’s hospital for 18 months, and everyone told me desire would come in time

I need A to stand for Asexual because we are literally invisible, and so unimportant that people assume we don’t even need representation, because everyone assumes our lives must be bland and unimportant and lacking in challenges or bigotry

For every asexual that wants a relationship, for every asexual that does not want a relationship, for every asexual who has not yet come to terms with their identity, for every asexual who was told we were abnormalities, for every asexual who was told we just weren’t doing sex right, that we needed a good fucking, that we needed to be drunk, that we needed to relax, that we needed to be raped

We need representation, and we need visibility

That is why the A needs to stand for Asexual, and never for Ally

Alien: how did you humans survive long enough to form a functioning society? You have no claws, sorely lacking physical strength as a species, no physical defenses…

Human: we just walked quickly after things that were faster than us until they died or got too tired to run away anymore and accepted death.

Alien: what the he-

Human: Yeah, badass, right? There’s a reason we’re top dog on Earth.

Human: *trips over own feet, gets foot caught in a bucket, yanks ladder down onto self trying to stay upright, falls in a pile of limbs and pain*

Alien: …are you sure
