Make sure you have enough film for an editor to work with. I do it and am sick to death of not having enough and what I'm given usually sucks anyways. Nothing worse than someone trying to edit scene by scene on the fly with a shaky hand cam and expecting that this somehow going to "help" the editor later on. ARGH!!!!

RIght now I would avoid the creature idea. With 200 bucks and an old camera you are setting yourself up for a creature that looks bad on screen and having no money left for anything else. At your age, go to the local HS and recruit actors from the drama club. Write a script, break it down, story board it best you can and plan ahead. Making a film at your age should be fun and it can teach you a lot.

Your best bet might be be to have your horror film not even show the creature/stalker/killer. It could be more suspenseful that way and save you a bundle (even if it is $200). Good luck with it. Let us know how it turns out.

Ouch. 12. Make sure the people will show up. I had a solid week open for filming (no school or work or anything), and would have probably finished filming, but people only showed up for day 1, and the guy didn't know how to hold the boom mic, so we ended up with like 20 minutes of video with useless audio.



And ignore the people who say "watch all the horror films you can", and don't rent out horror sections.
