EditSteps

  1. 1
    Work out a storyline or direction you want the movie to go.
    • Develop it with friends or the other people working on the movie with you.
    • Storyboarding is a great way to go.

  2. 2
    Get a cast and/or crew.
    • Friends, preferably, as you probably won't have to pay them.
  3. 3
    Name the movie
    • Pick something that suits the storyline. For example, the title 'Mega Death Killer' would suit a slasher but not a romance.
  4. 4
    Buy a camera.
    • Decide on a budget and purchase a video camera/ camcorder with that money.
  5. 5
    Film the movie.
    • Decide beforehand on a shooting schedule so you will not face the problem of having to go back to the same place twice for another scene.
  6. 6
    Fine-tune the movie in editing.
    • Programs such as Windows Movie Maker or iMovie are great for beginners.
  7. 7
    Get it out there!
    • Post it online on websites such as YouTube, Vimeo or Dailymotion.
    • Send it to film festivals.
    • Create a website for your production. People can easily find a place to get updated on what you do if you create your own website. if you are a beginner, you can create one for free at www.webs.com.
