No Film School

There is more to film making than having knowledge of where to place the camera and display the lighting. The No Film School blog 'Profound Words of Wisdom & Inspiration from the World's Best Cinematographers' states that "fancy gear does not inherently result in the creation of memorable visual art." Shooting and producing a visually appealing film is based around creativity and having an open mind in order to create a memorable visual art.
Now it is becoming harder and harder for young teens pursuing the film making industry with visual content freely available to all. This makes it appear that to improve one must constantly be shooting footage to improve, when in fact artistic growth is developed when an individual has discovered their cinematographic voice.
During the process of creating our own short film 'As Though Lost' I have been hired into the camera department as continuity stills. This blog proceeds to explain the best advice for amateurs to get their "voice" out there. No Film school explains what makes an outstanding film as a whole and what up and coming film makers should be aware of, "well-constructed films that evoke every emotion imaginable, up and coming filmmakers should be aware of the cinematic ground that has been successfully treaded by their predecessors."
