Some tips for Moviemakers-Video by YT

Just saw this and I think it’s perfect for anyone who needs tips on crafting good films. Because of this video I got an idea on a way to punch up a script I hadn’t put down yet. He says about avoiding cliché like having the first scene be the character waking up. This can be a good idea if used right (if it’s integral to the story) but if it is only because it’s the beginning it shouldn’t have to happen.

Before I show this video I want to give you my tips (some might already be in the vid but still) if you want read it. One. If you want to make a good film story or transfer a short-story you’ve written into one you must show visuals and make them a little more important than dialogue scenes. People love dialogue but if yours isn’t that interesting or goes on too long people will not stay invested in anything else you have to say. Two. Avoid putting in scenes that are not important. Because pacing is key to keeping the rhythm of a film and if you don’t keep it well-balanced again you will lose your audience.

Okay it’s all I can think of right now. I only think of this stuff because of hours of watching behind-the-scenes features of films and also hearing  audio commentaries. If you haven’t done that before and you want advice, it is great stuff to check out!

Wow, everything I said is in some way in the video. This has loads more tips though so check it out!!!

Top 15 Mistakes Beginner Filmmakers Make

And to let you guys know, sorry I have still to make more articles this year. I started one and will scrap it because it isn’t as informative as I expect it to be so that one might not happen. (though the one I hinted of last is not the one I’m planning on excising. It was a draft a few weeks back, so the one I spoke of might occur soon!)

I plan on making at least a film review (maybe even covering a trilogy!) so keep your eyes peeled for that.

Take care and God bless!

 

 

Do you like music?

Wow. I do not know what to put down for this week. I feel like something is keeping me from saying anything. What spiritual warfare? I don’t know. Maybe it’s just the heart.

Anyway this is something I wanted to do for an early article anyway.

This is how I want to tell music reviews. Now this will probably be the LEAST thing of media that I will review but I feel it must happen. There is very little good music nowadays it seems. . .

This will go by a star system (lowest * means it was terrible and ***** means it was given five stars! The best).

There will be star systems to these and movie reviews. . . and I found a strange way to review books. Books will use a word. . . any word as a rating system.

Think that if one sees a rating and there is an exclamation point. . . that means it is the best rating!

I want to review a band’s CD that seems to have faded out. . . the CD is popular and I hope people may want to find it and listen to the hits again. They came from PA (where I live currently) and I got to once see them open for Aerosmith!

I might do Vertical Horizon in the future. . . and I could guesstimate ones I used to listen to growing up (Alanis Morissette) that had albums I only had and still have on cassette (I do not own a player for that anymore).

There is one Christian CD that actually disappoints me. . . I might review that one as well. . . and usually I enjoy every single music CD by those types of groups. . . except this one did not reach that point. . . and all of the songs that were not hits sounded like filler unfortunately.

Ooooh. I will review them and might either give a review or a select song by song examination. I don’t know. I want these to be interesting but not CRAZY with following an exact form or way of doing it.

I hope that you reader like good music. I will not review the other stuff . . . if I said names I would probably get hate comments. Lol. Expect a variety of kinds of music in the near future!

Take care and may music help keep you day to day doing what you want to do.

Happy Resurrection!

I hope that I will once in a while get to post more than just this article on this blog about all things that do about what you see. There are going to be some different things on here every day. . . all but a few things will be covered concerning a lot of media.

So what do you think about on Easter. Do you celebrate on the traditions? Do you like making the easter baskets, tell your kids that they better get ready for the Rabbit that will come and give them gifts.  . . do you do those things AND think of the true meaning?

I hope on this blessed day you will get to think of Jesus. . . the day he got to follow through on the biggest choice in the world. The day he bled for all of our sins.

It is heartbreaking to think of what Jesus, a man of no sin, went through. Sure we may have doubts He existed. . . but why doubt when only man can at their strongest points when God has made Himself known. . . in YOUR life and through God’s Word.

Jesus was a man that made His father’s glory known. . . He did miracles and rose people back from the dead! Still people doubted Him . . .or thought he was not who he said he was! The father and He are one! That means Jesus is God.

People have spoken against that. To some he was a prophet, a man who didn’t really die on the cross. . . I guess he was just sleepin.’ No that’s not funny . . but he was God and He is today and one day He will come.

The God who Judas thought was only a teacher had walked the earth. He had no relationship with a prostitute. . . many theories and things people say is truth are probably saddened that the Bible does not prove that so.

The one who wants to give us life took our sin. . .. it was like the way we were before we heard of Him (or you may hear of him first now) was on that cross. My sin was on that cross! I could do nothing to take my sin away and Jesus, replacing himself as a Lamb for sacrifice, made the ultimate sacrifice (this was one sacrifice and final one!) by having our sin our “old selves” on the cross. He bled for our sin. I do not know how much He bled but if it was He who would die for the world’s sin. . . it wasn’t a small amount I can tell you that! He died and went to hell . . . just so we would not end up there one day. . . and then rose again! He arose. Oh Christ Almighty. . . the lord rose again.

He can live in our hearts. His walk all the way to the cross which He was strung upon was for us. I cannot imagine how saddened God was when He looked upon His son and saw a man WITH EVIL IN HIM Our father turned his face on his only Son because He was sin to God! Can you imagine that?

Christ said “My God my God why have you forsaken me?”

He died and three days later he was seen by many . . . He was as a new body! He had life and He rose and was seen by people and they were witnesses until death. Christ had arisen. . . and He can be lord of your life as well. All you have to do is believe.

Merely believe what Christ had done on the cross for you. Any doubts you have message me with comments. . . Christ died for you because the Father and He love you.

Believe in what He did . . . it can be so easy once you understand the impact Christ had done and just simply turn your heart to Him.

May this be a joyous time (okay your kids CAN have their baskets and egg hunts. . . ha-ha) for celebration. Christ is risen He is risen indeed. Happy Resurrection Day.
