How do filmmakers produce masterpieces? | Tutorial Tuesday W#7

'Create your own Creativity'

What is your way of producing a film? If you don’t know your style yet, just film.

Why should you use your own style? The answer is simple, creativity.

How will your own style stand out? By being the best version of the style itself.

When should you use your style? This is the point, you need to be you.

10 Sentence Plot | Tutorial Tuesday W#8

'Everything starts small.'

What is the 10 sentence Plot? The 10 sentence plot is simply and literally the summarized plot of the main story.

Why should you use this technique? Everything starts small and must be broad.

How to use this technique? Don’t be descriptive yet, focus on the main story, the overall plot.

When should you use this technique? So, everytime you’re going to create something or plan something.

There’s a man who is living his life to the fullest, but then he woke up, and started living his life.

A man bought a car and went to a restaurant with his wife. The next day, he went to his company and saw their stats are high, then they partied. He and his wife went home and watched the sunset together. Then he woke up and went to work, then by dawn he went home, and repeated the cycle for 5 months. Then one day, he got fired and went home and got depressed, then he slept. Then he woke up and noticed that his house got robbed, then he went to the police station and there he vomited. So he went to the hospital, and got confined for many weeks. Then after 1 and a half months he woke up and found that he had only 1 week to live. He went out of the hospital and using all of his money he went all out the whole day. Then he watched his last sunset and killed himself.

100 Sentence Story | Tutorial Tuesday W#9

'So before you add the very little details, the decorations, you’ll know where to put them.'

What is the 100 sentence Story? Not like the 10 Sentence Plot that focuses on the plot. This one is more focused on the story itself.

Why should you use this technique? So before you add the very little details, the decorations. You’ll know where to put them.

How to use the 100 sentence Story? In every sentence from the plot, you may create a story from that sentence.

When should you use this technique? Think of this as building a house, after you build the foundation firmly and strongly. Then you can build the walls, the rooms, and the roof.

There was a man with his wife who was in the car dealership. They bought a red luxury car. Then they went into a restaurant and then went inside. They ordered the same meal. His wife went to the bathroom, and the man got flowers from the waiter. The wife was done and went to their table; the man gave the flowers to her. Then she said thank you, and then their meal came. They start to eat, and they talk. Then they finished eating and went to his car, and they went home.

Then the next morning, driving his newly bought car, he went to his company building. Upon opening the door, he was surprised by his employees. Then he gave a speech, congratulating all of them. Then they talked about how they achieve high sales and how to continue it. Then after the meeting, they celebrated with a party.

His wife came to the party and picked him up to go home. At 5:48 they arrived, and it was the golden hour of the sunset. The sun is bright with the color orange. The clouds formed a heart shape, like. The sky is neat and has a purple-like color. They went to the bench in their backyard, sat, and watched the sunset. They kissed.

The man woke up and realized it was just a dream. He stood up and left his messy room. He washed his face and stared at the mirror for a few seconds. He ate bread for breakfast. He went for a bath and put his clothes up. He went out and walked to his work. He works on a construction site. Then the work was done, and by dawn he went home. He has been working like this for 5 months now.

Until one day he got fired because their project was finished. Now, he is jobless, so he went home. Upon going to his room, he left the main door open. He was sitting on his bed and got depressed. He fell asleep in his room while the door of his house was still open.

He finally woke up and went for a bath. Then, going back to his room, he noticed that his house got robbed. His house is literally empty. He called the police and reported that his house got robbed. Then he put clothes on, and the police arrived. Then he explained what happened, and he suddenly vomited and fainted.

The police rushed him to the hospital, and he got confined. He lives alone, and he has no relatives; that is why no one visited him in the hospital. He is actually no one, unknown to the world. No one visited him for the next few weeks.

He woke up, and the doctor said to him that he had a Zasgunari disease. And the doctor told him that he has 1 week to live. The doctor also said that his explanation will be useless because he is going to inevitably die next week.

He finally got out and lived his life to the fullest. He got a $100,000 loan from the bank. Using all of his money, he spent some in luxury. He went to expensive restaurants and ate all he wanted. He went to a casino and still won over $100,000 more. So he went to a homeless shelter and gave all of his money to them and preached that God has a plan for them.

Then finally, he went to the church and thanked God for the experience and for the life that he lived. He went to a beach and sat on a bench. He watched his last sunset. Then he stabbed and killed himself.

Creating Character Names | Tutorial Tuesday W#10

Honestly, I don’t have a specific tutorial on creating a character name. So, this tutorial is just a reminder for you that you can name your characters whatever you want to name them. Yes, everyone will judge, but not everyone will care. Yet, what they will care about is the story of the character. The names are just like labels on attitudes. Just name them even without deep meanings. Again, name your characters whatever you want to name them.

Imagine the Film | Tutorial Tuesday W#11

Imagine and visualize it first, so that you may know what to put on the camera. Your mind is your greatest asset, you can use it everyday and every moment. It is free to use, so use it well. Close your eyes and just imagine what you have written on your Plot and Story. And if you cannot imagine, then your story is poor on descriptive sentences.

Prepare | Tutorial Tuesday W#12

For this tutorial you may learn how to prepare the things you may be needing. You may learn how to summarize and predict your film length. You may predict how many scenes your film may have. Also, you may need to estimate the rendering time. Your rendering time depends on your pc specs, the quality and the number of your frames. For our project, ‘Only Goal: Live your Life,’ I have estimated it, 22 scenes and at least 50 minutes.
