How to make a film 

1.  First, you get into a group of four ‘three and use an IPad, phone or a computer to get ready to make a movie. Take your ideas from your storyboard and copy it onto the computer. The storyboard is a piece of paper that you used to plan on your scene and you have to hook in the reader. All your ideas are on the storyboard.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                     
  2. Next, you use equipment such as money’ tables’ and chairs on your scenes so you know what you need to use for your scene.   

  3. Then you look at your storyboard and check if it makes sense and you have to plan what your story is about. You add the music on the film and you can list it you have to make music by getting it on the Movie it has a button that says music.

4. You can look at your scene and put the parts that are right for the scene and you have to use your camera angles.

5. Then you practice your scene.

6. After you practice your scene in your setting and when you think you got it you do it in your setting you set up your setting where you are going in each scene. 

7. Now you do your scene in your place where you’re setting is.

8. Finally, you watch the whole film together with your group and see if it is good enough to be a Film. then you can see the people in your group at the capitol cinemas. I felt nervous because it was our first time doing it. Finding the music was challenging and the title.

How to make a Film

First, you have to make a team of 4 or 5 for the movie and brainstorm ideas for the film so you can write it on a whiteboard. 

Next, you need to decide who is going to be the actors, the person who is holding the camera and the director and you have to choose your genre like sharing, romance, horrify and joyful or gloomy.

After that, you can choose your setting. A setting is a place where you are going to be filming and you also have to make a storyboard. A storyboard is a paper with squares and under it, there are lines that you can write on. The lines that you are writing on, is so you know what to say when you do your scenes. The storyboard does not have to be the same as my class.

When you are doing your film you have to make sure that you have the equipment like your storyboard and props if you need any.

Then you can start doing your scenes and when you are doing your scenes you have to use your camera and storyboard.

When you are finished doing all your scenes, you are going to have to edit and when you are editing you have to put in any voice overs, music, volume, transitions and camera angles, such as point of view, tracking shot and wide shot.

You can also use the full shot, close up, high angle, low angle, overhead shot, long shot, eye-level shot, mid-shot, extreme long shot and extreme close-up.

Now you can watch your movie and see if it looks neat. If you think it is neat, you can send it to the cinemas and you can watch it in the cinemas with some popcorn and a drink, and you can also go to watch your movie with your group if they are free to go watch the movie.
