How Do You Create A Low Budget Movie?
• Decide whether or not you really want to make a movie. Understand that this is a costly, time-consuming venture that will leave little time for hanging out with your friends and having fun. Then again, if you’re making a low-budget movie, what better way to do it than to do it by hanging out with your mates, being the center of attention and having fun? • Get an idea for a movie. It doesn’t even have to be truly original – it could be a loose remake or spoof. Who cares? You could always use a book as inspiration – heck, anything created before 1900 is public domain and you can just steal it and use that. If you want something cohesive, have an idea first. If you don’t really care, just make stuff up as you go along (David Lynch did this for Inland Empire – you decide how good that was). • If you have a plan, write a screenplay. It doesn’t have to be perfect and you don’t have to follow it 100%. It just gives you a great outline to start with. If you want, you can just write the scene
