Welcome to this course on short film production: everything you need to know to shoot a short film!
You have a script, and you’re ready to shoot a film, but how? This class will teach you about film pre-production, production and post-production, so that you’re confident about shooting your own short film.
And most importantly, I’ll be giving you a real life example with actual footage from one of my film sets as a case study so you can see exactly what we did, how we did it, the problems we encountered and how we fixed them.
If you have a finished script in your hand, and you’re ready to shoot a short film, your next step will be to prepare to shoot this film (PRE-PRODUCTION). I’ll teach you how to have your bases covered: the conversations you should be having, the paperwork you’ll need to fill out, the crew members you’ll need to find and how to get working with cast.
Once you’re ready to go, it’s time to shoot your film (PRODUCTION). I will take you live onto the set of LADIES COFFEE, a short film that I wrote and directed over 2 days, in order to share my experience and give you some tips on how to conduct your set.
And once you have all the footage, you’ll need to sew the film together through the process of editing, colour grading, sound mixing and music composition (POST PRODUCTION).
