Many of us think that making a film is easy. You would just have to get a video camera, some talents, good script and you are ready to roll. That is definitely not a wrong notion. If you want to have a high quality film, you have to work so hard and put everything to that project including your own money. If you are an independent filmmaker, you certainly would be doing a lot of budgeting around. You  would have to pay for the pre-production, filming and post-production processes. However, you have also the option to create a good film while you are on a budget. Like they say, it is not always about money.

You might be wondering how that could happen. First of all, make a good plan. List it all so you won’t have to avoid the common mistake of just making a sudden decision. You should make sure that as much as possible, changes shouldn’t be made. This will make your plan work well. However, make it also feasible to some unexpected situations.

Getting a good writer could be one of the hardest things you would encounter. Moreover, some really high qualified writers won’t accept low rates. If you don’t have a budget for such person then you might want to explore the film school students. They would be interested to work with a low rate for sure.

Getting some crew for the production may be easy. You could ask your friends to help you. They would be very willing to work at no cost at all. You will certainly be glad that there are many who are also interested with this kind of task. An experience is just what they might need. You could also do the same when you look for talents but if you can’t find a good one among your friends, you better change that option. Don’t force a person to become a movie star! You might as well check out some ad postings. There are some talents who would like to work at a local rate. You could also check out the theatre. They are great actors and actresses there. Get in touch with them and they will be thrilled to be a part of your filmproduktion.

Now the technology part, you would most likely use this in the post production process. You have to make sure that a working studio is good enough to help you with the editing. The audio quality should be considered at this point. It is just as important as it is with the image quality.

If you are just about to do your own film then you should be optimistic. A lot of great films were done independently. They also worked on a low budget and you just might be surprised that some even has lower budget that yours. You just have to be innovative and creative in a lot of ways.
