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.

Looking for even more tips for a Hitchcockian feel? Here are even more ways to twist your movie to fit your budget and the big screen.

If you want to really add some cinematic appeal to your movie without adding more money to your budget, look no further than twisted tale guru Alfred Hitchcock.

Before filming your movie, you’ll probably want to create a storyboard to visually conceptualize the scenes together. That way, you can move things around for dramatic effect and have each scene ready to film before you begin.

Here are some tips for getting a cheap location for your movie.

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!

Remember that the key to keeping a movie cheap is to keep your script simple. Simple does not, by the way, mean less powerful, meaningful, or interesting; it simply means less razzle-dazzle effects and more plot and good direction.

The first thing to do in creating a movie on the cheap is to make sure your script is simple enough to budget for. If you are shooting an alien movie, a script akin to Signs with its simple location and effects is much cheaper to do than, say, one in the realm of Independence Day.
