SO enough theory, it's time to see digital direction in action. It's the making of Favourite Places 1: Castleton, which I made for the benefit of myself, friends and the general public. And to illustrate this article of course. Following this step-by-step guide Andrew Shaw offers ideas for alternative digital clips and takes you through the production process for longer, scripted and acted short films. Remember, it doesn't matter how long it is, the following steps are the always the same to turn a celluloid dream with nowhere to show, into a digital dazzler that you can send to all and sundry and upload to the Internet for world-wide fame.
We have devided the production of your film in to eleven easy to follow steps - film it, hard drive cleanse, sound sense, video source, size & colour, video capture, compress & save, editing and pruning, titling, sound at last and insert & finish. As these sections are rather long we have only included them in the magazine and not on the disc.
