Short Film Ideas As a film student, I would definitely agree that coming up with a good short film story or even when writing a novel and coming up with a good plot, is not easy. You have to find something original, yet it seems like all the original ideas have been swept away already. Because of this, I decided I would share with you all some of my top short film ideas. Some of these have been done before, but with your own spin on it, anything can come across as original. Man or woman wakes up after 20 years, and the world is completely different. Maybe you take a fallout 4 perspective with a twist where the world has faced nuclear war and covered in radiation. Maybe you take an apocalyptic twist, which we can all agree has been done, but what you decide to do with it is what makes it original. Maybe you take a dystopian twist on it where the government is now controlling what everyone says and that man or woman is the only one who is normal.  Effects of drunk...

Everything You Need To Know For Learning How To Play The Violin The violin along with other stringed instruments (viola, cello, bass, etc.) is very difficult to perfect. It takes a long time and a lot of patience. I have been playing for almost eight years now, and I still am no Lindsey Stirling, unfortunately.

Now lets talk about half steps and whole steps. If you can see, there are little b's and hashtags next to some of the notes. Those are flats and sharps. b's ...

HOW TO BECOME A BETTER ACTOR As a student studying film directing, I have been subjected to all kinds of acting: good and bad... I strongly believe however that anyone has the potential to become an amazing actor/actress, it just takes a lot of practice, and a lot of self criticism. Several actors I have met are extremely cocky when it comes to their skills. Many actors deny the fact that there is always room for improvement, but the truth is, no one is perfect.
