Guerilla Filmmaking refers to a form of independent filmmaking characterized by low budgets, skeleton crews, and simple props using whatever is available.
Often scenes are shot quickly in real locations. Guerrilla filmmaking can be tough on patience, nerves and money. Production designers must schedule feasible “gets” instead of reaching for the stars. It’s a killer when an entire sequence or master scene must be balanced against the solidarity of the film. Working with a video camera or hand-held steadicam takes practice to function efficiently.
The Instructor will go through his tips and tricks for getting a slick short shot on a low/no budget.
