In order to create anything , you must do research .When creating a film , no matter what it is about , you must have research , so that everything is correct .I am beginning to get more interest research on creating films, and I get the sense that.
Last few days ,i have keep thinking when i know that we have to choose an research topic.
I have think that what about film production that i wish to know but i’m still don’t know?

Me:hmmm…..

There are the different between feature film and short film.
First,
Where is the film going to be shown?
Your reasons for making the film should also relate to where the film is going to be shown. You could be making it for:
Your front room – many filmmakers start out by testing their ideas on family and friends.
A showreel – maybe you’re building a body of work to prove to others that you have filmmaking skills and/or to persuade them to give you some funding to make another film.
The Internet – a great means of getting your work out there and getting feedback from a wide range of people, internationally.
Television – if your film is of a high quality, a television channel may screen it, especially if it fits into a slot with other short films.
The cinema – one of the hardest places to get a short film screened, but some very successful shorts have been shown before feature films on general release. Some cinemas also run short film events.
Festivals – a great opportunity to get your film on the big screen, watched by an audience of industry people and by filmmaking peers.
The answers to ‘why’ and ‘where’ determine the standard you need to work to – there is a minimum standard of technical quality required for broadcast on television and a very different quality for transfer from tape to film.
Why you are making a short film, and where you want it to go, will determine what you shoot on, which equipment you use, budgets, crew numbers and potential markets. You and your team’s objectives set the parameters of what you are going to create. Be clear about these objectives and then crack on with the project.
There are small pots of money available to help create short films – especially those on digital formats. The industry is also full of people who are willing to do work at reduced rates because they like an idea, they like someone involved with the project or they simply remember what it was like to start out in filmmaking. They might also help because they think it would be good experience for their staff or their showreel.
