Ep. 52 Building your film website
02/14/23 • 15 min
Welcome back filmmakers! it's now time for you to start thinking outside of your film... I’m not trying to be deep or metaphorical here!
Your documentary is the centerpiece of a network of different materials that all compliment each other, and one element of this network is the website.
And yes! You do need to start thinking about your website in pre-production. You can never be too careful when it comes to website development. Maybe it will take weeks or maybe it will take months. But it will definitely be a gamble.

Ep. 51 Getting to know your film production equipment
If you're planning on whipping up a documentary soon, hopefully, the next bit you read won’t rock your world too much: you need to know how to use your equipment!
Your camera is your best friend. If it wasn’t for your camera - the likelihood of your film coming to fruition, is pretty slim. But like any friendship, you’ve got to nurture it. That means, getting to know it as deeply as you can.
Knowing your tech simply means less obstacles and more creative possibilities. Which is exactly why pre-production is the perfect phase to try and learn what every button on that camera does.

Ep. 53 Documentary filmmaking. Looking at the BIG picture
It’s at this point in the process I find it best to come back to one simple question: ‘Why am I making this documentary?’
Really think about it. What was the idea that lit a flame in your mind that just couldn’t be put out? And why did you decide that a documentary was the way this story needed to be told?
This week, we’re going to take the time to pull our heads out of the thorough and deep planning we’ve been doing and instead reflect and look at the BIG picture.
