    This video is the greatest encouragement for indie a filmmaker like me. I’m planing on shooting a short film with no budget. I managed to buy a gimbal and an anamorphic lenses but I have no money for the sound. I want to shoot using lavalier mic close to my actors for houseside shoot and use another iPhone mounted on a stick for indoor shoot
    What would you advise me ?

    • @SiHorrocks
      @SiHorrocks  3 роки тому

      Hi Jordan! sound is very important, especially if you have dialogue scenes. They say audiences will tolerate all kinds of visual quality, but if you have bad audio then no deal. Lav mics will be great, but they have to be clipped close to the mouth. I made 1 video about audio here: ua-cam.com/video/uta6A20_vMc/v-deo.html

    Do you have to have a certain copyrite or whatever it is called to protect your scripts and/or film to be plagiarized?

    • @SiHorrocks
      @SiHorrocks  4 роки тому +2

      depends on your country and that country's copyright laws. It's very difficult to stop ideas being copied, but you can fight in a court of law and see if your lawyers can prove that the copied version contains enough similarities to be classed a copy. As soon as you create something, in many countries the copyright is immediately yours. All you need to do is prove you created it before any potential plagiarist. You can spend money registering your script with various bodies online, but to be honest its very unlikely your work will get copied. Obviously, making a film of your script and placing it online is a good way to prove you wrote it
