Gain Film
Production Value by Revealing Your Location or Set Space
When your
no-budget DVX100 movie production is able to luck out with having
multiple actors on location during a shoot, it’s a rare gem that
deserves some acknowledgement. From jibs to simple pans, this
technique is simple and effective.
Realistic
Gun Recoil for Your DVX100 Actors and Directors
Well now you have a menacing looking gun that’s sure to boost the
film production value of your flick…now what?
Maximize
Your DVX100a Production Space
Utilize the clutter in the room to create depth in your composition.
For example, your actor is still sitting on the bed. The room is
cluttered with furniture, a computer desk, etc. Use these things to
provide interesting compositions to your shots.
The
DVX
100 - Not Just for Pre-Production Anymore
In any film and video production, you’ll
sometimes find yourself stuck while editing a sequence. The two things
that can help save you from the post production rut while editing your
digital DVX100 movie are detail shots and b-roll footage!
Mini-DV
and Non-Acting Actors
First thing’s first on a small film and video
production. Get rid of the jitters. Most first time actors are going
to feel weird “acting” in front of strangers. A possible case of
the giggles, a little blushing here and there, quick and nervous
delivery of dialogue…get ready for it. There’s a good chance
it’ll happen - especially on a DVX 100 digital movie scale
Hit
Your Marks with the DVX100
The DVX 100 digital film director usually has no
budget which means the filmmaker wears many film and video production
hats. In many cases you’ll find that the budget won’t allot for a
script supervisor to monitor continuity of your movie production with
amateur actors in each scene. That means that you’ll have to put on
your script supervisor hat.

Audio Indoors
vs. Audio on Location
Scouting audio for your DVX100 film is one of
the more important aspects of movie production. If you're not careful,
it can delay your shooting schedule. Event videographers beware!
