1000 Dollar Film

Here are some more tips to make your dialogue to sound as real as possible.

You want your characters to sound as natural and human as possible–without being boring–right? This doesn’t mean that every word that’s said must be golden words of infinite wisdom; what it does mean is that your characters need to be believable.

Filmmakers, like their other fellow artists, are also required to keep a mound of paperwork. Unfortunately, it’s often a lot more than the poet or concert pianist must keep.

Your actors may have a lot of problems starting out–especially if they have no experience whatsoever.

Many first-time movie makers start with horror or sci-fi films. It could be because they’re appealing to a large crowd; they can be a big success even if they’re not considered “quality films.” Of course, it could also simply be because they can be very cheap to make!

If you’re on a tight budget, the last thing you want to worry about is the makeup and costumes for your movie. You won’t be able to spend a fortune on wardrobe when you’re stretched on equipment as it is.

If you’ve got a tiny budget for your film, chances are you won’t be able to hire Megan Fox or Patrick Dempsey as your lead. That doesn’t mean that you should give up; on the contrary, plenty of great films have been made with no-name leads–and later, those no-names turned into stars.
