    The best advice is get a digital camera and start making films. Find a story and actors who will be in the film for free and do it! Start making films and if they are any good or interesting, they will find an audience. If they don’t, then your not meant to be a Filmmaker.
    James Cameron has the best advice!
    Shoot a film with Actors who volunteer and put your name on it. Directed by Fill in the Blank!
    Do not waste your time with Film courses or trying to sell a screenplay or getting a meeting with potential Weinstein’s. Those are very bad ideas.
    Begging anybody in an office with a lounge chair to become a director is also a bad idea setting you up for exploitation.
    Good luck!
    Also, try to find an original and interesting story to tell if you can. If you can’t, then it wasn’t meant to be.

      @EthanTAllison Год назад

      If you only get inspiration from other movies then you will never do something different. Reading is integral in finding originality and inspiration whether that be from fiction or fact. Reading also strengthens your understanding of character and story. That's where film starts and ends with story. Reading a lot helps learn the music and rhythm of what story truly is and it also strengthens your minds eye and imagination. I believe this to be very important in creating art.

      ​@@EthanTAllison Umm... One whole group of filmmakers made films just due to their sheer love of Cinema. The group was the critics of the Cahiers du Cinéma. The people, went on to be literal masters of their craft. The period was Nouvelle Vague and the people were Jean-Luc Godard, François Truffaut, Éric Rohmer, Claude Chabrol, Agnès Varda, Jacques Demy, Jacques Rivette, Alain Resnais, Louis Malle, Chris Marker to name some.

    • @WalterLiddy
      @WalterLiddy 7 лет назад +10

      So your argument has collapsed into saying a script comes first, which of course chronologically it does. However, film is a director's medium. A great director can make a mediocre script into a great movie. A mediocre director will make a mediocre movie even if equipped with a great script. I'm a screenwriter, and I certainly think scripts are important, but they don't determine the outcome. Certainly not to the point where you can say 'it's all about a great script'.

    • @AbhishekBhal
      @AbhishekBhal 7 лет назад +1

      WalterLiddy I agree with your views. Its wrong to say its all about a great script. A great director can make a great movie even with an average script. On the other hand a mediocre director can ruin a great script. Direction matters more than screenwriting in making a great movie.

    • @CoolGuy-dg9nf
      @CoolGuy-dg9nf 7 лет назад +1

      You can't make a great film without good actors, everything is important. If the music sucks the film quality goes downward, everything in a film is important, acting, sound, script, directing, quality, not only script, everything is important.

      Philosophy, history, sci-fi, poetry, novels, biographies, newspapers, street signs, folklore, op-eds, children's stories, fables... Herzog is the kind of person to never state what you should read for your own growth, but without reading, there is no link between cinema and your understanding of it.
      Invest yourself in culture, knowledge, and understanding. Practice methodologies; be critical of others (not condescending), especially to yourself. Forge past boundaries, create new paths, ignore the status-quo, learn from your own mistakes before others do.
