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.

So You Wana Make a Film from IWFilm Fest on Vimeo.

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.
