Point 11 Independent Film Research

• Use of a small budget to film the movie.
• Storyline is strong and unique, unlike any other type of movie.
• The techniques used should include a sense of risk and you should be willing to take a risk in  the making of the movie.
• Often good actors end up starring in independent film to truly master and show their full ability in an independent piece.
• The characters within the movie are the main focus and so it is important that they have strong features.
• It is a film like any other but produced without the help of any other major film studio or company.

In order for my work to look convincing it is important that I try out new techniques within the storyline and filming of the piece. The piece must be edgy and representative of an independent and alternative audience who will be observing the film. A sense of grit and realism is also very importantin independent films. It must be clean and not covered in thrills as it must be realistic and a gritty piece.
