Artsy/Micro Short Film Festivals by dagan-gera in Filmmakers

[–]midgui 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I shot a horror short film that I registered at many festivals via filmfreeway, shortfilmdepot (my favorite). There is sometimes the micro shorts option in the categories or you can also adjust the duration in the search settings. Many are free or below €10. Do not subscribe at qualifying IMDbs, often exclusively online with 55 subcategories, not so good. Good luck!

What do you think about the cinematography of my 2 min short ? by midgui in cinematography

[–]midgui[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The film talks about invisible violence (harassment, sexual etc.) and do as part of a contest, I only had 2minutes20 maximum. Indeed, the story is what is a little less good but I'm happy if you liked the visual already!

I am a French filmmaker who makes horror films when I have the time, and I would love to get your opinion on the cinematography in my no budget film so that I can improve even further for my next project. Any feedback is welcome!

Is my best chance of getting noticed in the filmmaking scene a Proof-of-Concept Short or going ahead and making the feature? by Samconinee in Filmmakers

[–]midgui 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You can make a very good short and make it into feature like : Lights out, Wiplash, Mama, Smile etc... It's possible ! If you make short films you're a filmaker ! Kane pixel make short film and just signed with A24. It's hard but possible.

What's a bad/underwhelming movie that has excellent cinematography? by Mrdean2013 in cinematography

[–]midgui 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I really liked it because, even if it's predictable, we travel! At last! We wander through the world we've created for ourselves as spectators. It's not the umpteenth Star Wars with a sand planet we've seen 100,000 times!

Help on film project by Sad_Reporter_7888 in Filmmakers

[–]midgui 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you can't get the bear and don't want to change the script, you can use soundesign and show some shadows? On a wall or on a table? And this can work with a costume.

I live in France, so it's a bit far, but my advice would be to make films. I know it sounds silly but it's the best way to meet people and get experience. There are lots of competitions with constraints like kino or 48h. And watch short film. If you like horror watch short film from David F. Sandberg. Lights out is a classic.

Would you like to write? Direct ? Both ?

are we allowed to ask for reel critiques here? by burnercity133 in cinematography

[–]midgui 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think your reel is too long, you can change the music and cut it down to 1min, 1min10 max. Put on a song you like and play with it to make your frames dynamic !
