Filmmaking - Blog

What my Filmmaking blog posts will cover

Filmmaking as a term tends to refer to the overall production process. Often this may be me fulfilling all over the individual roles (sometimes referred to as a Videographer) or me leading on the production or direction. I’ll endeavour to include anything that crops up in the filmmaking process that may be beneficial to other filmmakers in streamlining the process.

From a directors point of view, these blog posts may include how I streamline my productions to get the most out of my contributors. I’ll look at how you treat contributors and manage them on set relates to the content captured. From a producers point of view, I’ll look at streamlining the whole filmmaking process and how sometimes a one or two person team can capture content that often takes a much larger team to do.

As well as working as part of team, often I’ll work in a much more stripped back fashion as a Shooting PD (Producer/Director). This enables me as a filmmaker to talk to contributors who may be more vulnerable or access places that a larger crew cannot go. If this is the case, I think it’s important to still uphold a quality of production and try to work with available light and artificial light to create professional looking results, even if you are just a one-man band!
