Rodriguez had signed on and had been announced as director of the film Sin City because during that time. He
also created a series of "Ten Minute Film School" and "Ten Minute Cooking School"
The 10-minute film/flick school
is about some tips and tricks when it comes to filming. He gave us some tips
that we can apply when we come to the point of filming without using expensive
budgets; that we can film anything even though we don’t have an expensive
camera’s; that we could use things that aren’t expensive and/or that we are
using in our daily lives. The film was all about how to use the camera (it can
be old or new camera). The main point was all people can film in a way that if
we like to do it, we can find a way to pursue it, even though we don’t have a
budget, there are still things that we can use and it is more creative and
unique.
Robert shot the film in complete silence, in
order to capture the appropriate sequence. Then he recorded the sound and
dialogue on the second take on external recording device, and after that he add
the sound effects. He only had one camera to use for the full shoot. By filming
sequences in one long take with just one camera, he had to freeze the action
after one take or during the take and change the camera angle to a different
position or do a close-up on the individual and continue shooting.
Some tips that we should apply are:
>Lighting – We should use desk lamps with 200-watt bulbs; add
some gels and diffusers to the set.
>Guns – Props can have a huge budget so just use water
pistols as a backup gun or borrow a police gun with permission to fire blanks
from with the police on set.
>Filming- Film the firing of one shot from different angles. Edit
with other scene shots and dubbing of a machine gun firing.
>No crew – Get all the actors to muck in
when there not shooting a scene.
>Use 2 lenses – Zoom lens for dialogue
or close-ups –and wide lens for all other scenes.
Use a wheelchair – Instead of a dolly.
>Local officials – Include in film to
avoid complaints and resistance.
>Truck – Simple truck for all your gear
and equipment needed for the shoot.
