Starting my own Cinematography business has been the most difficult thing I've ever wanted to do. I've got no clue where to start, who to talk to, what I should be doing, and I'm sure I'm not the only one.
I'm not looking for anything big, just something to get my foot in the door, get myself used to the business, experience with equipment and hopefully, at least, a paltry income.
I'm from a small town with literally two other yellow-paged video businesses in the area. I'm going for a bachelor's degree in Digital Media Production at The Art Institute of Pittsburgh. I've got little to no money, a 30G HDD JVC Camera, and skill that's wasted flipping burgers.
How do I go about starting my own Cinematography business?
I was thinking about doing weddings. Getting some fliers, making some calls to local bridal/wedding stores, comparing the "competition's" prices, etc...
Am I on the right track? Where should I be going? What moves should I be making?
If I could get ANY feedback or input, I would be extremely grateful.
Thanks to everyone in advance.
