thank you for that wonderful input sir. ill have it noted. :) i really want to focus on cinematography and techniques on shooting like panning, tilting and so on. btw, can you give some advise on better outdoor shooting tecniques? like good blending with sunlights and something like that?

simple works make great outcomes! cheers! :lol:

im sorry if i got you confused sir. i really dont have any knowledge technically whatsoever, on my first meeting with our producer, she mentioned that the film will be shot on a 16mm film and will then be transfered to digital format for distribution. :-( sorry again. i modified my prev message to avoid further confusions. moving forward, i still dont know what kind of equipment were gonna be using. ill update this thread as soon as get into the production stage.

Im a theater actor and i believe that theres a BIG difference if im gonna compare theater to film. I dont have any backgrounds in photography though i love taking in pictures. I got some ideas on basic video editing and made couple of music videos for my relatives, friends and even my love one. Now, im facing another challenge here and im gonna need your guys help. Our troupe leader has given me a task to direct a digital film using a 16mm camera. Its not a commercial film because it will be donated to a youth charity. I have no ideas on lightings, sounds and features of the cam that im gonna be using. Ive read the script and it seems preety easy if im just using my imagination. Most of the scenes will be taken from; EXTERIOR A hill that would show a tree for some lonely scenes. A grassfield for the running scenes. A 100-year old spanish house A barn INTERIOR Inside the church Dining Hall Piano Room Bedroom If you remember the movie A WALK IN THE CLOUDS by Keanu Reeves, most of the scenes would be preety much like that. Now im gonna need your guy's help on how i can make my film more professional and good looking. What lights should i use, improvised equipments (since its a low cost film), techniques and a lot more. I know that some of you guys are very much pro's and as newbie, im hoping for your assistance. I would appreciate all the advice that you can give me. :-) Thank you and more power.
