10 Minute Film School

These videos by Robert Rodriguez I find are extremely helpful and inspiring as he shows how created a decent film on an extremely small budget of just $7000. During the videos he gives numerous tips and hints in not only how to film and edit shots but how to do it with less money than the big shot Hollywood directors.

The film which he made had lots of action in it and so it was perfect for giving tricks on how to film a chase scene, which is what he begins with. The video is very informative as it open your eyes into how to film your shots and then edit them into a sequence where there is good continuity and it looks like you have been filming all day, from all kinds of camera angles.

One important thing I learned from this video, to save you lots of time when filming, is to just continue rolling the camera even if something does go slightly wrong, because the footage is good right up until the error. You can then just edit out the fault and put in a different camera angle shot in place where the actors do not make the same mistake.
