Alongside the magazine I am going to be making a short film within the next month. I have set a few limitations to help with creativity like the film must be completely finished by November 1st, it must be made on a $0 budget, and a run time between three and five minutes.
The main reason for the limitations is to improve my ability to create with limited resources which will make me a better filmmaker and once I have an actually budget, I will really be able to seize the opportunity. This idea is an adaptation of the "thinking inside the box" mindset which (I believe, although not proven) stimulates creativity. I've also recently decided to focus less on the story and more on the visuals as I am more interested in becoming a cinematographer rather than a writer. I know this is completely backwards from what you are supposed to do but I guess I'll learn the hard way. I'm not trying to prove I can write a good movie, I'm trying to prove I can make a cinematic piece. I feel like I could have spent a few extra weeks on the story but that is time I don't have as I want to get going with the magazine. You might be wondering why I wouldn't just start working on the magazine. Well I also want to further my skills in filmmaking as I plan on creating some original films with my magazine and utilizing my connections to world class athletes.
