]]> Comment on Getting your Indie film ready! (PART ONE) by Sheri Candler http://fgfilmfestivals.com/blog/?p=110&cpage=1#comment-45 Sheri Candler Fri, 08 Jan 2010 23:51:06 +0000 http://fgfilmfestivals.com/blog/?p=110#comment-45 Great post. Cannot emphasize enough the importance of good stills. NOT crew stills, NOT scene set up stills, scene stills and some good stills of the director doing something director-like (pointing is good). If you don't want photos done during filming, do it as a rehearsal before the camera starts, but do it. And do it professionally. Good lighting, in focus, well framed. Marketing cannot be emphasized enough here either. It is the main place filmmakers fall down and it just cannot be forgotten any more. The faster you grasp that, the better off you will be. Even if you want a traditional distribution deal. Your audience building will set you apart from the hundreds of other filmmakers who aren't embracing this concept yet. Know who your audience is, where to find them online and how to connect with them. They should be your people, you should know them from your own interests. Connecting so much easier that way. Great post.
