Pre-Production - Directing my First Indie Film

 Another indie post. This is my first big film so I need to make sure I research for it properly.

1. Spark Interest

Sparking interest in ROADMAN was easy. The name sells the piece. You don't need any other word to describe the film, just ROADMAN. Its easy to say and rolls of the tongue, everyone was interested in my project when they heard that prase.

 2. Be Professional

I like to think I have a good attitude when it comes to shooting or creative means. I'm always willing to listen and develop my trade. I'm as professsional as it comes because I want the best out of the actors and I need to if I want a believable film.  


3. Account For The Unexpected

The main one I can see for this is lateness in actors. Because of the distance they have to travel, it's hard to account for timing, so we'll try our best to achieve this. 

4. Overestimate Budget  

 We have more than enough funds to carry us through the project. Sparing as much expense as possible.


5. Review Footage

Great for continuity. It's always good to relook on footage to make sure everything looked great on camera.  


6. Limit Credits

Don't overcompensate myself in the credits. It's a low budget production, but everyone knows that. Theres no point in having my name 14 times in the credits. 


An okay site to use this one. great tips that will add to my knowledge.
