In this episode, I dive deep into the world of single location filmmaking and share my thoughts making the most of your micro-budget production.
Throughout the show I unpack many of the common pitfalls associated with this approach - like keeping your audience engaged and avoiding visual repetition - along with creative solutions at each step. Topics covered include:
- Writing your script around the location from the beginning
- Seeking out primal stories with high stakes and character potential
- Utilizing every space within the location to add visual variety
- Varying the time of day to create diverse lighting setups and moods
- Casting dynamic actors with natural chemistry to add intensity
All of this and much more on today's show!
