Hello everybody!!!
I'm here for make a guide for good movies and films. Sometimes
people send movies, with history, good actors, but a bad editing or a
bad history. I'm here for try solve these problems. See some tips:
- Be calm when writing.
Never write the history in one day or less. Be calm and write in some
days, with patience. Think calm helps everyone in any creation.
- Make a good plot.
Think on a central idea, and then make a secondary one. Mysteries and
it's clues during the movie are always advised, since you don't reveal
easily the final of the story. Also, use a interesting theme, like a
bank robbery or a trip, or a confusion in a family. Also, think about a
theme that people would like to see. Also, get inspirations of books or
other movies, but change the most you can to make it different but
still interesting. Also, like I said first, use a secondary story, like
a conflict of ideas or an interesting fact.
- Don't fear the time.
Good movies usually have more than 7 minutes. Make a short movie can be
boring, unless it is a short joke or something like that, and short
plots makes everyone guess the finish easily. I'm not asking you to
make a movie with 90 minutes like in real-life, but make it objective
and detailed at the same time, with some kind of balance. People loves
details, but hates waste of time.
- If needs help, call for it.
Write good historys isn't easy. Later finish one part, ask for someone if liked this part. And ALWAYS accept suggestions.
- One chapter, one video.
May you can extend your movie into a series, or something like that, so
you can make chapters on it, or just divide the movie into parts, to
make it more attactive, since the people will wait for the next part.
- Plan a time.
For example, you can host one chapter (if you have choosen the scheme
One chapter. one video) each week. You will have time for make
decisions, swap actors if needed and make more tension.
- Don't try to make scary movies.
Club Penguin is a too much "cute" game. It's really hard make a scary
movie, and I think that whistle to imitate blood spitting or deaths
with the skull smiley isn't that cool.
- Choose a good recorder, or be yourself one.
Try get the best programs for recording. I can suggest you Camtasia 2
and Camtasia 4, and for editing, Windows Movie Maker. But, if you don't
want record it by yourself, call someone good on recording. Also, there
is a lot of other good softwares for this task...
- Host in the correct place.
CenT. made two threads for that, and you can see it here or here.
- Make some advertising.
When finished and hosted, make advertising. A poster, a little text, what comes in your mind. But remember: Never SPAM!
- Good communication between the actors and directors.
I can suggest you the use of MSN Messenger in a group talk.
- Caution with the words and filter!
Once a time, I've failed on recording one movie with my friends,
because some words were blocked from filter. Always test words, in a
empty room, with a friend on any IM connected with you, and ask him if
he can reads your speech.
With this tips, you will be the best movie director of Club Penguin!
Thanks for the attention, and good movie!!!
