Introduction
So you want to be a filmmaker? Have you ever watched a film or a TV show and wondered how they made it and what it would be like to make your own? Well, you picked up the right book — this is where your filmmaking journey starts.
Digital filmmaking is the process of creating and telling a story or presenting information through the art of film using digital video cameras. Basically, it’s a way creative people like you can turn the ideas in your heads into films audiences can watch on movie screens, TVs, or computers. The filmmaking process can take weeks, months, and even years, depending on the length and complexity of the film being made. It involves taking an idea, turning it into a story and a script, storyboarding the script into a series of images, recording the actors performing the script using video cameras and microphones, transferring the video clips from the camera to a computer, and editing the footage into the final film for the audience to enjoy. It may sound like a complicated process, but it’s not, really — it’s fun, and I’m sure you’ll enjoy every moment.
There are thousands of filmmakers in the world, living their dreams of making films and documentaries every day. You could be one of them! Digital Filmmaking For Kids For Dummies introduces you to the magical world of filmmaking and guides you through the process of making your own films to share with your family and friends.
