Pre-Production Planning:

 A Hollywood movie never begins shooting without all aspects of the film being planned out in the pre-production stage. Take a tip from the pros and plan out the story you want to tell using video. It can be as simple as writing out a shot list (a list of shots you want to capture); a simple outline; the dialog you wish to capture; or it can be more formal, with a script and storyboard (illustrating your movie shot by shot). This way you can keep track of what you’ve shot and what is remaining. This lets you make sure that you don’t forget to capture any important footage when you make your video.

Capture Variety Of Shots:

 Telling a story will be more interesting if you’re capturing a variety of shots. The best videos are made of short clips edited together. In the film world the wide angle shot is known as the Establishing Shot and it shows the overall scene. Medium shots often include one or more subjects. Close-up shots can be cropped at the head and shoulders like a portrait, or an extreme close-up of only a part of a person or subject.

Break Up the Monotony By Moving the Camera’s Position:

 Just like it’s good to vary the composition of your movie with wide, medium and close-up shots, it’s also good to move the camera’s position if possible. Don’t shoot everything at eye-level from a standing position. Look for creative angles, low to the ground or from a high vantage point. These will make your movie more interesting for your viewers.

Pad Your Shots:

This means shooting a little extra footage before your action begins and letting the camera record a little bit extra after the action ends. Doing so will make it easier for you to edit your movie together, because you’ve got extra frames to edit around.

Limit Your Camera Motion:

 Too many zooms (in and out) or pans (from side to side) can be distracting to the viewer; ruining an otherwise good story. Less is more in this case.

Shoot Lots Of Stills:

Still images can be incorporated into your movie as part of multimedia storytelling.

Step 1

Identify what type of movie projects you want to produce and how you want to structure your business. Sarah Caldwell, author of "Jumpstart Your Awesome Film Production Company," explains that you can go solo, form a partnership, become a full-service company or work on a project-specific basis. If, for example, your videographer focus is on weddings and special events, you could probably get by with being a one-person operation. In contrast, project-specific contracts such as documentaries or PR campaigns may require you to recruit different talents for short-term assignments. Partnerships are generally practical as a way to pool resources and expand the scope of services you can provide your target demographic.

Step 2

Draft a business plan that addresses your short- and long-term goals for the company, projected expenses for a soundproof studio workspace, equipment, utilities, software, telecommunications, transportation, insurance, payroll and marketing. The more detailed and realistic your business plan, the greater likelihood of receiving grant money, commercial loans and startup capital from investors to put your dreams into action, says Gunnar Erickson, author of "The Independent Film Producer's Survival Guide: A Business and Legal Sourcebook." Discuss with your attorney the advantages of being a limited liability company vs. a sole proprietorship to protect your personal assets.

Step 3

Choose a name for your movie production company and register it with your state's registrar agency. You'll also need to acquire a business license by paying the applicable fees, posting a doing-business-as ad in the local paper and opening a business bank account. Design a professional website that describes your services, lists your rates and fees and provides sample clips of your work. In addition to shooting live footage for your clients, you may also want to include copying DVD's, creating digital photo albums and assisting in scriptwriting. Use online print companies, such as VistaPrint, to create your business cards, postcards and brochure mailers.

Step 4

Promote your movie production business by writing articles and blogs, distributing your cards and brochures to local companies, nonprofits, schools and print shops, placing ads in local newspapers, and utilizing social networking channels. Join your city's chamber of commerce and get on the speakers' roster for neighborhood clubs to chat about what you do. Trade banners with vendors in related industries.

AVI - Common movie, computer video container file format. AVI is abbreviation for Audio Video Interleave format developed by Microsoft and its based on Resource Interchange File Format (RIFF).

No interframe compression is performed and the resulting encoded data generally does not achieve the same level of compression as a codec using interframe techniques. However, decompression is usually faster and any frame can be referenced independently since there are no dependencies on other frames. Plus, there are fewer legal caveats when using the open JPEG standard.
