Do keep your filming schedule tight.

You’ll need to plan your film shoot carefully, and this can be tricky when you’re making a short movie. After all, there are so many factors that go into making a great short film—the script, the cast and crew members who specialize in their fields (such as acting or directing), equipment rentals like sound recording devices, lighting rigs for shooting on location or in black box studios, etc., editing software like Final Cut Pro X, premiere pro, color grading software like DaVinci Resolve ( basic version is free)

It’s easy to get overwhelmed with all these details when you start thinking about how many hours it would take just to get everything done on time!

Do plan your shooting list in detail.

Planning is important for a number of reasons. First, it helps you to save time and money by not having to rush through your shoot. Second, planning allows you to avoid problems with lighting or sound that could cause issues during filming. Third, if everything is planned out ahead of time then there’s no need for second-guessing when shooting begins – this means less stress for everyone involved! Finally (and perhaps most importantly), planning gives us an idea of what we want our final video piece will look like so that any rough edges can be smoothed over before moving on to production!

Do have a dedicated set of crew members for each segment of filming.

This is the most important task you can do as a filmmaker, and it’s also one of the hardest. You need to hire people who know what they’re doing and can execute your vision on-screen without making mistakes or causing delays in production. A good rule of thumb: hire professionals!

Don’t forget about continuity and sound recording in the short film.

Sound recording is a big part of the short film. It’s not just important to have sound, but also sound effects and music for your short film.

You can record sounds using either a microphone or a recorder. The way you choose to record audio will depend on what you’re trying to achieve with your short film. If you want it to be more professional-looking, then I recommend getting an external microphone (like this one) instead of using your phone’s built-in mic as most smartphones don’t have good enough quality recording capabilities without being plugged into an external device like this one does!

If there are many different things happening at once such as people talking over each other while walking downstairs then having someone walk around with their hand held up in front of their mouth might seem like overkill but when used correctly these types of techniques can really add some extra depth into scenes where otherwise nothing would have happened except maybe just standing there looking bored rather than doing something interesting like actually interacting with others around them which would bring forth new ideas related towards developing new concepts within filmmaking itself which could potentially lead into further research projects being completed by future filmmakers themselves later down line when they’re researching similar topics under different scenarios until eventually finding solutions finally come up again but only after lots about

Don’t forget to take out background music from the film, if required.

Background music can be distracting, and it can help you to visualize the scene. It can also help create a mood that works well with your film. The soundtrack needs to flow with your story and its characters so that it doesn’t feel like an outsider intruding on their world.

Background music can also help create anticipation or relaxation in your audience by setting the right tone before they start watching the movie!

Don’t start shooting before collecting the storyboards for your film, as this can help you to know what shot you want to be part of, how long it should take, and how exactly it is going to look when it is done.

You should not start shooting before collecting the storyboards for your film, as this can help you to know what shot you want to be part of, how long it should take, and how exactly it is going to look when it is done.

Storyboards are important because they give an idea of what the final product will look like and how long each shot will take. They also allow people who aren’t experts in filmmaking or cinematography (such as yourself) to understand what they need from their own perspective while still having total control over their vision.

Don’t forget about locations and props for your short movie or film! It is always good to have some experience before making a short film or movie because it will help you get your shot right away!
