This video also contains a social experiment to prove superiority of sound over image quality. Let me know if when the video quality dropped, it affected the information you got from the video. Or is it that: the video quality drop was negligible because of the fact that you could still here clearly. Kindly do let us know in the comments section.

Starting a project and losing interest half way, having characters and an idea for a story but now knowing how to turn a rough idea into a whole film, and dealing with creativity block constantly. It might be interesting to see your tips to push creativity and deal with discouragement if you have any. Thank you!

This has been my concern as well. I tried getting professional help but with no connections, it's tough. I'm more into directing but for the time being I want to script write and create a small project. I have a few nice ideas for different stories but it's not easy with no guide. KZread really is a helpful source
FIRST!!! SCRIPT OR STORY OR ONEPAGE SYNOPSIS???? WHIC ONE I SHOULD START???FOR PITCHING ANY OTT APPS
@africaamaze
8 ай бұрын
I personally turn to write a tagline first before the writing process. Unless you're pitching the idea to someone before you even begin writing the script, that is the only time I may choose to have a synopsis. However, I know such synopsis will definitely be altered again at the end because the direction of the film might change during the writing of the actual script

Yes Inusah Comedy Gh. It's important to always have a script. If you don't have the time, it's still important to at least have a written skeletal idea of what you are going to shoot. But it's best practice to write a detailed script. Try that and you will never regret it.
Please,What does the numbers stand for?? For example, the number 9 that in the bracket in front of " FILBERT"??
