How to Make your Film
You need to think of an idea for your video.
Here are a few basic ideas:-
It could be a Drama, a film with acting in it.
A Documentary, a story about real things.
A Cartoon,a story made with drawings or models.
A Dance or Music Film, a film with dance and music like a pop video.

A bit of fun on how to make a film, this was produced by an 11 year old budding film maker.
Then write a script or make a story board. Most films are about one main character.
You will need to think about:
- Who is the main character is in your film?
- What are they trying to do in your story?
- What things are making this hard for them to do?
When things happen in your story. Most film scripts happen in 3 parts.
The Beginning, were you will need to think about:
- We see the main character on a normal day.
- Something big happens to them.
- This makes them want something.
The Middle, where you will need to think about:
- The main character tries to get what they want.
- They have problems.
- Another big thing happens to them.
The Ending, where you will need to think about:
- We see the main person again on a normal day
- We see how their adventure has changed them.
Once you have decided on your script or story board, you will then need to film the story.
