Story ideas for a film contest?

admin — Thu, 19 Apr 2012 05:57:36 +0000

I am looking for some ideas for a short film I am entering into my family film contest and was wondering if anybody could help me out with a few ideas. I am looking for a plot that has 2-3 characters and centers around a mystery involving a diamond. I want it to be set up sort of .like Nancy Drew. So, if anyone has any suggestions or ideas, please let me know! Thanks!

Heres a small plot I just thought of: have one woman walk into a jewlery store, the woman would be in her mid 30s but she looks real tired because her husband is dying at the hospital because he can’t afford an expensive surgery required to save his life. This womans intent is to steal the biggest diamond she sees and trade it for her husbands life.

The film didn’t cost me a cent, the grand price is R50 000. What do you think are the chances?

You should show us what it looks like if you want to ask a question like this. We don’t know how good it is.
It doesn’t matter if it cost you anything or not. What mattes is how good it is. The content is more important than the price. I’ve seen many shorts that were made with almost no budget and they turned out great.

Korean film about a korean director judging a film competition on jeju island – What’s the name?

admin — Wed, 08 Feb 2012 02:46:02 +0000

I think it’s called ‘you think you know it all’ or something similar to that, part of the film is set on jeju island basically it is about a film director getting into awkward situations, its all quite sad.

Will the U.S. continue to dominate the international film market in 40 years?

admin — Fri, 03 Feb 2012 01:27:15 +0000

So, currently, the country with the largest and strongest film industry is the United States of America. Will this continue to be the reality by 2060? Or will another country rise as #1 in the international film market? If you do predict another country will replace the U.S. as the largest film market, then what country do you believe it would be?

yes…..

I’m looking for a camera dedicated to film for the best price
so far all I’ve found is

it depends of the festival. Sundance only accepts video in the XDcam format. here is the most economical version of XDcam that sony makes

What are the chances of a 14 year old getting his movie entered into the Buffalo International Film Festival?

admin — Sun, 22 Jan 2012 07:45:12 +0000

It’s a zombie movie that has depth and a good story to follow. I’m gonna try getting it entered into BIFF but am a bit worried they won’t accept because of my age. I’m not sure if they have an age limit. Also any tips on how to film with a Samsung SMX F50 digital camera would be greatly appreciated.

I have had a number of films accepted in festivals (and been on a few admission juries) so here is some advice.

1 – Your youth is a plus and will actually assist you in getting your films shown. Audiences LOVE to see the work of upcoming filmmakers.

2 – Keep your film short. No more then 5 – 10 minutes long. Juries would rather screen three short films than one 20min one. A feature film should be at least 96mins.

3 – Keep the hand-held camera work to a minimum, use artificial lighting and good make-up. If your zombie make-up looks amateurish then NO festival will screen it.

4 – The Buffalo International Film Festival is a lofty goal. Over 20.000 movies are sent in and a very few are chosen. You will be competing with professional filmmakers with budgets in the tens of thousands . Make a play for a few local festivals first and work your way up.

5 – BUT, if you have made a film that outshines what is on TV, i.e cast, story, effects, direction than, for for it!
